Just want to make sure all are aware of the tiny venue where Lucinda is playing Monday, July 7th. It is in the middle of nowhere, but somehow Hiatt, Taj Mahal , Cowboy Junkies, etc.perform there. I cannot WAIT to see her at Stone Mountain Art Center- capacity maybe 225?
I don’t see this show listed on the tour page. I wonder how many people know about it. What city is it in?
Little teeny Brownfield,Maine. Tonight! She didn’t list it and it seems a bit quiet but it is definately happening.
Actually, the Stone Mountain Arts Center has been attracting some huge artists for sometime now. Perhaps, it would be better said that the artists like playing there so much that their most positive feedback then spreads to other artists (this LW show only went on sale two weeks ago). Tickets a bit pricey ($100 for the likes of John Hiatt or LW) but worth the “up close and personal” dealio that goes with the show. More information here on their current calander:

Here’s a partial list of who has played SMCA:
Mary Chapin Carpenter Richie Havens Paula Poundstone The Indigo Girls Bruce Cockburn Ralph Stanley and the Clinch Mountain Boys Leo Kottke Bela Fleck and the Flecktones Aztec Two-Step Marty Stuart and His Fabulous Superlatives Livingston Taylor Kathy Mattea Cheryl Wheeler Cowboy Junkies The Grascals Los Straitjackets Tom Rush Maura O’Connell Red Stick Ramblers Capitol Steps Harry Manx Crooked Still Chris Smither Joe Ely The Mammals Suzy Bogguss Leon Redbone John Hiatt Taj Mahal Jimmie Dale Gilmore and the list goes on…
Man, that’s really too bad for us (my girlfriend and I).
I wish I knew about this development sooner. Since I’m about exactly betweeen Brownfield and Boston, I’d MUCH rather drive northeastward to Maine to see her in this much more desireable setting.
Because I certainly have no interest in seeing her in Boston, in the horrible, commercial venue, in support of John Mellencamp, who I cannot stand. As far as I’m concerned, he should be playing in support of Lucinda.
Oh well, maybe next time… maybe next time her tour management will not choose to ignore her central Vermont & New Hampshire fanbase and book an intimate date, central to the two states. I thought her gig in Shelburne VT. a few years back was out of this world and for sure she would be there again.
