This Week
Thursday, July 2 OPEN MIC NIGHT
The open mic series at Tupelo Music Hall has become a vry special night for performers and audience alike. For only $5, you can come play a couple of tunes for the crowd or simply choose to stay in the crowd. Sign-ups begin at 6:00. Performances begin at 7:00. This is always a great night filled with many different musical styles and abilities. Check it out.
Friday, July 3 THE CHURCH
Steve Kilbey, Peter Koppes and Marty Willson-Piper founded the church in Sydney, Australia, in 1980. Their public life as accidental hit makers is on the record: Under the Milky Way galvanised the world 20 years ago, and again in 2001 when it opened the smash cult film, Donnie Darko. Various hits collections attest to a distant era of similarly strange and subversive pop chart victories: The Unguarded Moment, Almost With You, When You Were Mine, It’s No Reason, Reptile, Tantalised, Metropolis— all continue to appear, sporadically and often transformed, in the live shows that remain their life blood.
But the church has always been in a parallel orbit to the pop world, a self-generating and utterly engaging art-rock trip that is far easier to experience than to describe – even by their passionate legions of fans around the world.
NEW BOOKINGS
Saturday, August 15 JAMES MONTGOMERY with the UPTOWN HORNS
A night with the James Montgomery band is always memorable but this show is especially exciting. The UPTOWN HORNS, who have played with such notables as The Rolling Stones, J Geils Band, Joe Cocker, and James Brown, will be joining James for this show. Get tickets early for this one.
Tuesday, September 8 LIVING COLOUR (Tickets on Sale 7/10/09)
When the four members of Living Colour went separate ways in 1995, drummer Will Calhoun grabbed his passport and went globetrotting. Over the course of the five years that followed, Calhoun’s journeys took him everywhere from Russia (as a member of jazz great Wayne Shorter’s touring band) to Australia (where he studied tribal music while living with an Aborigine family in the Outback) to Morocco, where he went to explore the trancelike sounds of Gnawan music. Though his destinations were diverse, the question was always the same: When is Living Colour getting back together? “It seemed like I was being asked almost everywhere I went,” says Calhoun. “It was amazing to learn that the music we created had traveled so far around the world. I had everyone from [Montreux Jazz Festival founder] Claude Nobs to Mick Jagger pull me aside and tell me we needed to regroup. It really made me think about the art and energy of Living Colour and the impact that we made. As an artist, you have to respect that.”
So they’re going on tour with their new album and you can officially see them at Tupelo Music Hall. How cool is that?
Sunday, September 27 SHEMEKIA COPELAND
At a young age, Shemekia Copeland is already a force to be reckoned with in the blues. While still in her 20s, she’s opened for the Rolling Stones, headlined at the Chicago Blues Festival and numerous festivals around the world, scored critics choice awards on both sides of the Atlantic (The New York Times and The Times of London) and shared the stage with such luminaries as Buddy Guy, B.B. King, Taj Mahal and John Mayer. Heir to the rich tradition of soul-drenched divas like Ruth Brown, Etta James and Koko Taylor, Copeland’s shot at the eventual title of Queen of the Blues is pretty clear. By some standards, she may already be there.
Copeland’s passion for singing, matched with her huge, blast-furnace voice, gives her music a timeless power and a heart-pounding urgency. Her music comes from deep within her soul and from the streets where she grew up, surrounded by the everyday sounds of the city – street performers, gospel singers, blasting radios, bands in local parks and so much more.
Friday, October 9 NICK LOWE
Somewhere in London a musician carries the keys to the musical kingdom. In his Technicolor sonic scope are all kinds of sounds, from rock to country to soul to pop. Nothing is off limits, as long as it has a groove and goodness based in reality. The musician has been performing for 40 years, but is as fresh today as the first time he stepped on stage. There are no tricks or short cuts here. Far from it. His songs are as solid as the earth, yet carry no lingering hype or heaviness. The musician is NICK LOWE, the headmaster of British rock, and his new album, At My Age, is such a cause for certain celebration that fans and neophytes alike should mark its June 26 release as a date to remember.
Saturday, November 14 THE FOOLS
All entertainers have a gimmick, a shtick, if you will (even if you won’t). From the beginning, the object of a Fools show was to blow real life out of all proportion and morph ‘just another night out to see a band’ into the most fun anyone had ever had — anywhere! Meeting with great success, it wasn’t long before the lads were masterminding stage trickery, pratfalls, skits, themes, twisted audience participation, practical jokes, paybacks, big nights and even some colossal events. Then they discovered radio.
In 1979 “Psycho Chicken,” X-rated parody of The Talking Heads’ “Psycho Killer,” exploded over the airwaves of Boston. The boys were so excited they followed up almost at once with another whopping hit — “It’s a Night for Beautiful Girls.” And the guys weren’t the only ones to get excited. EMI Records signed the band and sent them right out to tour the U.S. with The Knack. Always a fun night out, a show with the fools will leave you wondering why these guys haven’t been locked-up.
With the latest weather patterns stuck over Londonderry, New Hampshire and rain even coming off the ocean rather than from the west as it normally does, you would think we were in Seattle, Washington. If we were we would have had 6.61 inches less rain during June!
The internet has been equally effusive about Longley’s music. Liz was voted the No. 1 all-time female vocalist on 
On Wednesday, June 24th members of Londonderry Grange 44 along with community volunteers held a workshop on how best to restore the Grange. The Grange built back in the early 1900’s is in need of new cedar shingles and needs to get running water to the building. Total cost to complete both projects would be approximately $45,000. Hank Peterson head of the Grange stated, “That we need to get the place buttoned up for the winter,” and is trying to raise the $22,000 for the cedar siding.
The Londonderry North West Small Area Plan integrates land use, zoning, transportation, housing, economic, development, community design, and other key planning factors into a small area-wide plan for The Northwest Area of the Town of Londonderry.

Late this afternoon, a neighbor saw a picture of the missing beagle that the Morin family posted on their mailbox. This neighbor happened to see Polly late this afternoon.
