JAFFREY, New Hampshire (May 16, 2022) Independent bookstores have struggled over the past 20 years, with online superstores nibbling away at their businesses. The pandemic created another hurdle when customers couldn't utilize bookstores' unique point of difference, personalized, in-store browsing.
One story about this problematic struggle has been made into an award-winning, critically acclaimed documentary about a bookstore that is an institution in Lenox, Massachusetts. Filmmaker A.B. Zax saw the possibility of this powerful story of a passionate storekeeper, Matthew Tannenbaum, combined with a town that has a special relationship with the shop. The film, Hello, Bookstore, will play at the Park Theatre starting Friday, May 20 at 7pm. It will play for one week.
Director A.B Zax will attend the Sunday, May 22, 7pm screening for a talkback discussion with the audience after the film.
Toadstool Bookshops of Peterborough, Keene, and Nashua are partnering with The Park Theatre to present Hello, Bookstore.
The film will play nightly from May 20 through May 26 at 7pm (except Monday) in The Park Theatre's King Auditorium Screening Room. There will be a Saturday, May 21 matinee at 1:30pm. Tickets are $9/$8. Tickets can be purchased online at theparktheatre.org, by visiting the box office or by calling the box office hotline (603) 532-8888.

Four Major Upcoming Concerts Announced By Park Theatre
Adam Ezra Group, American Idol Winner Maddie Poppe, Matt Nakoa, and the Paul Nelson Band set for May/June
JAFFREY, New Hampshire (May 17, 2022) The joint is jumpin' over at the new Park Theatre performing arts center in Jaffrey, New Hampshire. Three emerging artists and an established Grammy® winner have concerts in May and June.
First up is Matt Nakoa on Saturday, May 28. Matt is an award-winning songwriter, singer, and multi-instrumentalist. A modern troubadour, he makes his home on America's highways and concert stages and appears regularly with folk music icon Tom Rush. The Boston Globe says of Nakoa, "Between his piano chops and heartfelt originals on guitar, he drops jaws."
Next is the Adam Ezra Group on Friday, June 10. Working outside the confines of the traditional music industry, Ezra and his band, the Adam Ezra Group, have built a reputation and foundation through sheer grit and determination, regularly performing hundreds of shows a year for the past two decades without any major label or mainstream radio support. Fusing folk intimacy and rock energy with soul power and pop charm, the band first emerged from Boston in the early 2000s and quickly garnered widespread acclaim for their bold, insightful songwriting and interactive, euphoric performances. From hole in the wall bars and house concerts to sold-out headline shows and dates with the likes of Little Big Town, The Wallflowers, Gavin DeGraw, Train, and The Wailers, Ezra and his bandmates treated every single gig like their last, attracting a die-hard following that believed not just in the music, but in their commitment to activism and social change, as well. Charity events and fundraisers are a regular part of the group's touring schedule. Each year, thousands of Adam Ezra Group fans would gather in Boston for the band's homegrown festival, The Ramble, which raises money and marshals resources to help homeless veterans find safe and dignified housing.
On Saturday, June 11, The Park presents Maddie Poppe. Maddie is an American folk singer, musician, and the season 16 winner of American Idol. She is a multi-instrumentalist--playing the guitar, piano, and ukulele. Before winning American Idol, Poppe released an independent album titled Songs from the Basement. Poppe released her first studio album, Whirlwind, with Hollywood Records in 2019.
Finally, On June 24 the Paul Nelson Band takes the stage at The Park. Paul Nelson is recognized as one of today's top modern contemporary guitarists, songwriters, and sought-after record producers. He not only has the distinction of being the hand picked fellow guitarist to the legendary rock/blues icon Johnny Winter in the 2000's but he has toured the world over performing and or recorded along side an endless who's who of top artists from Eric Clapton and Buddy Guy to Slash, Billy Gibbons, Paul McCartney, Bootsy Collins, Ben Harper and many more.
Nelson received a Grammy® award for his work performing on and producing Winter's "Step Back" release on Megaforce/Sony winning "Best Blues Album of the Year," highlighting his already long list of Grammy Nominations. Nelson also won the BMA "Blues Music Award" for "Best Blues/Rock Album" reaching #16 on the Billboard Top 200 and staying at #1 on the Billboard Blues Charts for weeks. He is also a recipient of the Blues Foundation's KBA "Keeping The Blues Alive Award".
Tickets for all concerts can be purchased online at theparktheatre.org, by visiting the box office or calling the box office hotline (603) 532-8888.

We'll be celebrating the vibrancy of our region's libraries and the critical role they play in our communities as gathering places, resource hubs, literacy boosters, and so much more. We'll also cheer on the resilience of librarians and library staff who have worked tirelessly to support our communities throughout the pandemic.
At each visit, I will share a brief update about my legislative work and then open it up to your questions and concerns about pressing issues affecting your communities.
You can view details of each of the library visits on my website: senatorjocomerford.org/librarytour or on Facebook: facebook.com/senatorjocomerford/events.
We'll be sure to work with host libraries to maintain COVID-safe protocols.
I hope to see you there!
