The 7-piece band has kept busy over the past two years, writing and drawing inspiration from life as we now know it and allowing experiences, both good and bad, to shape each heartfelt song. The band is back in the groove, seeing the light at the end of the tunnel. You'll hear original, uplifting compositions from the Blues, R&B, Soul, and Gospel genres that reach deep down into the soul.

"The Poets lay down a sweet acoustic groove that's subtle yet captivating. Utilizing strong players on double bass, acoustic guitar, stellar electric guitar, and percussive brushes, they gently work around Kevin Harvey's soulful lead vocals," Steve Tennant, Medium.

"The Poets will get you dancing in the hallways, laughing, and feeling those blues," Spirit of Rasputin, Ottawa.

Each band member writes and arranges their music, bringing something unique to the table. Their music spans various genres, all woven seamlessly to create an authentic contemporary Canadiana sound.

Their album, Out Of The Woods, was released in 2022 and has garnered much attention, with top 40, top 20, and top 10 best album of the year lists for 2022. Each heartfelt song tells a story.

The concert is scheduled for Friday, November 10 at 7:30 p.m. Tickets for Durham County Poets are $25 each.

Local Breweries Create a Brew in Support of House Bill H401

Gardner, Massachusetts - November 3, 2023 - Craft beer enthusiasts in North Central Massachusetts have reason to celebrate as three local breweries, Moon Hill Brewing, Thirsty Robot, and Lost Towns Brewing, have come together to create a special collaboration brew in support of bill H401. This unique partnership highlights the community spirit and dedication to local causes that are synonymous with Massachusetts' vibrant craft beer scene.

The collaboration brew, aptly named "H401" represents the collective efforts of Moon Hill Brewing, Thirsty Robot, and Lost Towns Brewing. Each brewery has contributed their expertise and passion to create a distinctive beer that embodies the essence of collaboration and unity. "H401" will be available exclusively at these three breweries, providing craft beer enthusiasts with a delicious and meaningful way to support bill H401.

Bill H401, an Act relative to the sale of malt beverages produced by a pub brewery, filed by Representative Zlotnik, is a petition for distribution of beer by local breweries and brewpubs. Brewpub license holders, like the three breweries involved, are the only brewery class that cannot self-distribute their products in the Commonwealth. Currently, they have to go through a third party distributor.

"We are thrilled to collaborate with Thirsty Robot and Lost Towns Brewing to create H401 in support of the bill. This initiative is a testament to the camaraderie and solidarity within our local craft beer community," said Rick Walton, Owner at Moon Hill Brewing. "By working together, we hope to amplify the message behind bill H401 and contribute to its success for the betterment of the craft brewery community."
