Jake

The Boston Globe calls violinist-composer Jake Armerding "the most gifted and promising songwriter to emerge from the Boston folk scene in years." Armerding grew up playing classical violin and listening to 80's pop radio. His neo-classical string quartet ROSIN released their debut at Carnegie Hall in 2018, and he splits his time between that ensemble, his 2022 Patreon project Shelter Island, and a ridiculously high-testosterone bluegrass band called Barnstar!. Over the course of three thousand performances, he has shared the stage with Bela Fleck, Nickel Creek, Josh Ritter and Toad the Wet Sprocket.

He and his wife oversee the developing rowdiness of their two boys in Boston, MA.


Taylor

Taylor Armerding spent nearly three decades as front man, lead singer, mandolin player and chief songwriter for the progressive bluegrass band, Northern Lights, which recorded nine albums and toured nationally with the late fiddle legend Vassar Clements, bluegrass star Peter Rowan and folk/rock icon Jonathan Edwards. Since 2001 he has performed and recorded six albums with the Vermont-based Bluegrass Gospel Project and their successors, The Revenant. He recorded a solo album, “Head That Way,” in 2009.

Kat Wright, whose voice is both sultry and dynamic, delicate yet powerful; gritty but highly emotive and nuanced, has been described as “a young Bonnie Raitt meets Amy Winehouse”. Add to that voice enough stage presence to tame lions, and the combination of feline femininity proves immediately enchanting. There’s soul flowing in and out of her rock ‘n’ roll with a serpentine seduction. Some of soul music’s sweet, grand dames belt, shout, seethe, and succumb, while Wright sings gently like a heartache’s apology. It’s funky in spots and beautiful all over. And it hurts a little … like it should.

Join Kat Wright and her band as they return to Warner, NH for a huge installment of the MainStreet Warner Summer Concert Series.

The 39th Army Band, New Hampshire Army National Guard can trace its lineage back 135 years to its inception in Manchester in 1879. When activated for the Spanish American War, it was known as the Band Section, 1st Infantry, New Hampshire National Guard. During World War I, it became known as the Band Section for 1st Army Headquarters Regiment. During World War II, it was known as the band for 172nd Field Artillery, New Hampshire. Since 1947, it has been known by its current designation 39th Army Band New Hampshire Army National Guard.

The band is stationed in Manchester, New Hampshire at the Manchester Readiness Center located at 1059 Canal Street. The 39th Army Band has represented the United States of America overseas on missions that have included St. Croix, Virgin Islands, Athens, Greece and Good will Ambassadors to the country of Costa Rica in July 1995. We recently performed for President George W. Bush during a New Hampshire visit and assisted the state of Louisiana during the Hurricane Katrina relief effort.

The band is comprised of musicians representing many communities throughout our state. The members of the 39th Army Band are dedicated soldiers whose high standard of performance is respected and anticipated wherever they perform. Truly, the 39th Army Band is a shining example of New Hampshire’s soldiers at their finest.

The Luggnuts emerged, individually twisted and collectively tight, from the Old Bean Tavern in Waterloo back in 2013. They call their music Big Tent Americana. According to The Centroid of Soul (their bass player), this means The Luggnuts can turn *any* song into a country song. That's a lot of twang for members hailing from Warner, Contoocook, Hopkinton, Loudon, Concord, and Barnstead. Guitars, drums, bass, mandolin, violin, piano, shakers, washboards, spoons and *five* vocalists: The Luggnuts are better than they sound!

Come celebrate rural life and vibrant foliage at our free, family-oriented community festival in the village of Warner, NH. Three days of events include a full lineup of open-air concerts, 2 parades, a 5-mile road race, kids’ fun run and dance party, oxen and woodsmen’s contests, fresh lobster and chicken BBQ, amusement rides, street performers, and a host of artisans, farmers market, and food vendors.
