Hi Everyone!
We are starting this blog to promote a forum for Tupelo listeners and others to take part in. Have fun!
Scott
Is anyone interested in seeing THE ENGLISH BEAT at Tupelo? I can get them in October. They ae a great 80's band the genre is "ska".
I think you respond by posting a note and referencing someone else's comment.
Fruit was the most original surprising and entertaining group that I have seen and I have seen and heard a lot. The icing was that it was free!
I too thought that Fruit were excellent.....bought their CD and have enjoyed listening to all the songs on it. BTW, pictures I took of the Fruit Concert can be found on this page - www.tupelohall.com/YSHBTFRUIT.htm
Kate Klim Headlines on Friday, September 16!
Never heard of Kate? She opened for Ollabelle and sold all of the cd's she had that night. People come from Boston to the open mic nights and stay all night just to hear her play two songs. If you haven't heard Kate, you really don't want to miss this show.
Need another reason to go? Tupelo is donating the entire proceeds from the night to Kate so that she can start production of her new album. The show cost is $12.50. The entire $12.50 goes to Kate. This is how much we believe in her.
Who saw Norah Jones, Tori Amos, Mary Chapin Carpenter, and others when they started out at venues like Tupelo? Come see a great show on September 16 and support a true rising star!

Hi Scott -David and I attended our first open mic night last night (August 25th). I was pleasantly surprise at the talent that was present. The night was nothing like I expected. I enjoyed the show a great deal hearing a variety of music types. One performer in particular I wanted to sing the praises of was the last one of the night. He blew me away. The words amazing do not cut it. Although I can't remember his name I do remember that he was from Michigan and now living in Haverhill MA. In my opinion if you were ever looking for an opening act for anyone he would be an A+++++ choice. I would even enjoy hearing a full night of his singing, he was that good. I look forward to attending more open mic nights in the future. thank you for the great place you have created and keep up the good work.
I think we have a lineup in October that will compete with this past weekend...
19th DAVID WILCOX
20th THE GREENCARDS (hopefully) 21st CHRIS SMITHER
22nd LARRY HOPPEN / ROBBIE DUPREE "Still The One","Steal Away"
23rd The FIXX
Having Mike Morris headline, with Heather, is an excellent thought!
FYI, here's the review I did of Mike's CD - http://www.hippopress.com/boomers/mikemorris_tupelo050616.html
I've been to the open-mic quite a few times now(as both listener and player),and find the host to be generally excellent and witty; why on earth did he allow the upcoming 'act' for next Tuesday to pretty much take over the place last night for over 2 hours? Is Tupelo that hard up for attendance to its scheduled concerts that it must hold unsuspecting listeners hostage while the ar-TISTS do what amounts to an unabashed pre-performance sound check and self-promotion? There were a lot of people still waiting to go on during and after this fiasco, and although I was only there to listen with friends, it was painful to see the minutes and then hours ticking by as the night went later and later...no doubt, these kids are talented, but it wasn't right to let them run most of the show. Is this what we can expect from now prior to a 'big' out of town act?
First of all the Tupe is a business, it is not a charity organization designed to promote unsigned musical artist...if it does not make money then it does not stay in business and if it is not in business then there is no open Mic night period. I personally thought that Cinamatic was great....very talented...Tuesdays show should be great. They had every right to participate in the last nights open mic, thats what an open mic is all about - OPEN...how many feature acts do you think would do that? They were very respectful of all the other acts that played and I enjoyed having them there. I personally do not really like the pick your order out of a hat format, my feeling is that a first come first serve would be fairer to all buit that's just me...it's such a small price to pay for playing such a Great Room! Keep it up.
For those who missed it, the Gordon Lightfoot tribute was a brilliant show! Aengus Finnan, Jory Nash, and Terry Tufts formed a Canadian Folk Supergroup. All incredibly talented, diverse, and very engaging. They each sang their own original to go along with many Lightfoot classics. It's not every show you see the performers getting hugs from complete strangers...it was just that good.
Ed Carrey? Ed Carey??? I'm seeing upcoming shows for this person (open mic night and as an opener) with their name spelled 2 different ways, and I'm wondering if you actually mean "Edie Carey"?
It looks like Richie Furay (Buffalo Springfield, Poco) will be touring this year. It would be great if he made a stop at Tupelos.
I heard Morwenna Lasko & Jay Pun are coming to Tupelo, I found their CD on Cdbaby.com and was blown away... I was wondering why they're only doing an open mic night?... is that the only you guys could get them?... how long will they play for?
Well, I wouldn't say that they were "only" playing an open mic. Our open mic features artists that we believe in and, with any luck and a good tailwind, may "make it" in this really difficult industry filled with wonderful talent. The competition is fierce, to say the least. Open Mic features and Openers for headliners are taken very seriously at Tupelo. Robert Haigh, who does a tremendous job running the open mic series and booking openers puts much time and effort into each of these slots.
I am glad you liked their CD. Please come support them at the open mic.
Scott

I'd like to see Mike Rivera. I saw him open up for the Bacon Brothers and he was great...is he local? I know he was solo acoustic that night but does he play with a full band at all?
Mike is currently taking a break from performing. I don't believe that he plays with a band.
I'm a huge fan of Josh Ritter & would love to see him at Tupelo. Looking forward to Bruce Cockburn and Ollabelle next month.
Thanks!
I also love Josh. I saw him open for Bruce Hornsby and I think he is currently opening for Ben Harper. I have made a few inquiries about a booking but haven't managed to get him as of yet.
The English Beat was fantastic the 1st time, I would love to see them again in October!
It's rare to see an artist who instantly arrests your attention and grabs the moment for pure passion in music as...Grace Potter!! Her and her band The Nocturnals are up and coming, but you can listen to her CD ("Nothing But the Water") on-line...(http://www.indie911.com/grace-potter)
She blew away the Lowell Summer Music Series audience in August! Gospel, bluesy, and very talented!
Gandalf Murphy and the Slambovian Circus of Dreams caught my ear when listening to public radio, so when they played a festival in my area I had to check them out. I was mesmerized and instantly hooked by the passionate songwriting, musicianship and genuine kindness of this band. Their current double disc (which I purchased that show) – Flapjacks From the Sky – is just one fantastic tune after another, not one to skip! I’ve been spinning it since June and it just doesn’t get old. They are a very hard working band that constantly travels the country (in Utah and Co. this weekend) spreading lots of joy. Their musical style can not be fit into any keyhole, rock/folk/dreamy/funky/fun/etc…., but strangely familiar. Acknowledged by the band that their music has a lot of influences from the great music of their generation, and stolen bits and pieces that are positively identifiable, yet like nothing you’ve heard before. www.slambovia.com can introduce you, but live is best, in my opinion. Go and enjoy! They also love to talk to anyone that wants to!
Antje Duvekot was AMAZING!!!!! (and Flynn was pretty grand too!) Bring her back soon PLEASE!!!!!!! Oh and Noah (#1 Bruce Marshall Group Fan) says THANK YOU SO MUCH for bringing them back and please save him table 4 for the next time they come!
Suggestions: Saw Doctors, Is YEP! still around? Shockra, Toots and the Maytals, Corb Luind and the Hurtin Albertans, John Prine, or Guy Clark. Keep up the good work by bring great music to NH.
Went to the Johnny Winter show last night and had a great time. My only complaint is and I have been to a number of shows at Tupelo is that you need to invest in AC that can keep that room cool when filled with 200 people. I know you are investing in a new sound system and acoustics but the room is worse than a sauna. This is not good for the artist as well as the audience. I heard multiple complaints saying that it was WAY TO HOT!!! You need to at least cycle the air by turning on your ceiling fans. If you don't find a way of cooling off that room during the summer I am afraid you will loose customers as well as artists coming back. Other than the AC complaint Tupelo's is AWESOME!!!!!
Hothouse Flowers was amazing!
Any chance of them returning?
I know Prenup is scheduled, but really want to see the whole band intact. Best concert I've ever seen!
We should see Hothouse Flowers return to Tupelo in March of 2008...
COWBOY JUNKIES... Does anyone have one (or possibly 2) tickets to the Cowboy Junkies that they might want to sell? Email me at jdeshaies@verizon.net. I'll buy them straight away. Thanks.
4 tickets for the 10/13 Mayall concert.
3rd row
e-mail me at dave123053@yahoo.com
The Mayall show was wonderful. Being front row did not hurt either. John & his band were so down to earth it was amazing. Yulele (the drummer) even picked up on my wife talking about the bass player and his appearance of being asleep, while playing a very good bass!
What was the name of the "kid" playing guitar on the stage with Whittington? This kis has huge potential.
If I rememeber correctly the kid's name was Scott Good. He was amazing... The Mayall show was the best show I have seen at Tupelo's (outside of Squeeze).
TONIGHT WAS MY FIRST EXPERIENCE AT "TUPELO".
I WAS ABLE TO GET TICKET THROUGH THE "BLOG" AN AMAZING CONCEPT
EVERYTHING ABOUT THE PLACE WAS GREAT, THE VIBE, THE SET-UP, THE NICE LITTLE "MEYERS" LINE ARRAY.
MOST OF ALL THE GODDESS HERSELF,JOAN OSBORNE, ONCE AGAIN SHE WAS AMAZING.
IF PEOPLE ONLY KNOW HER FROM " ONE OF US" YOU HAVE BEEN MISSING AN AMAZING TALENT.
ONE OF THOSE LIVE PERFORMERS (LITTLE FEAT, STEVE FORBERT, WEATHER REPORT ETC.) THAT MAKES YOU WONDER WHY THEY EVER BOTHER TO DO A STUDIO RECORDING.
GOOSEBUMPS, SHIVERS, TEARS, COULD NOT EVEN FEEL MY BUTT TOUCHING THE SEAT.
SHE IS ONE OF THOSE VERY SPECIAL PERFORMERS, THAT WHEN YOU LEAVE YOU DON'T REMEMBER HOW GOOD IT "SOUNDED" BUT HOW GREAT IT "FELT".
THE TUPELO ITSELF HAD MUCH TO DO WITH THAT "FEELING".
THANK YOU SO MUCH FOR A GREAT TIME, I HOPE TO SEE MORE SHOWS IN THE FUTURE.
Thanks to Scott and his staff for the Jeffrey Gaines show. Last night's concert was incredible! Incredible talent, brilliant individual performer. The fact that you could purchase a CD of the show made it that much better. Please have him back sometime in the future. Those who weren't there missed out big time. Josh Logan is going to make some noise in the future too....
I agree about the Jeffrey Gaines show, it was AWESOME! PLEASE try to have him back if at all possible!!
Anybody think Commander Cody would go over good at Tupelo?
Hey Ronnie Earl...What happened to the Encore? Still looking to get breakfast.....?
I heard a rumor that you were trying the bring The English Beat back with The Fixx and The Alarm. Is this true? I would love to bring some friends to see that show!!!
Dear Scott,
Here is a band/singer I would love to see come to Tupeolo! Ingrid Lucia and the Flying Neutrinos. Their website is http://www.flyingneutrinos.com
They would be AWESOME!!! Please try!
Please bring back John Nemeth and Los Straightjackets! Is Joe Bonamassa to big for the room? I'm sure alot of people would pay a premium to see him. Maybe the new place in '09?
did anyone go to the Shelby Lynne show....I thought it was incredible and just told Scott.......does anyone else know her sister is Allison Moorer who I saw at the Somerville theater with Steve Earle,...she would be a wonderful addition at Tupelo...any other fans?????Bob
Joe Bonamassa would be an instant sell-out, at any price. Please try to get him to play here.
I have ONE Ticket for sale to the SOLD OUT - Paula Cole show on Sept 20th.
2nd Row - outside Aisle seat - Right side.
email me if you are interested

Scott,
Thanks for bringing in the Fab T-Birds What a show! ( Special Surprise Guest-Ronnie Earl was the icing on the cake.) Kim Wilson was amazing. He is the hardest working man in show business. The house was rocking.

Hearing Liz Longley as the pre-show for Jonathan Edwards last ight was a special treat. I've been listening to her CD's all day today. What a beautiful voice, and she was sooo funny! Her website says she'll be back at Tupelo in November, but I don't see her listed? Please do let us know when she will be returning...
Just saw Luka Bloom at Tupelo on their 4th year aniversary. What a show! It was the perfect place to see feel and hear Luka Bloom's special charm and emotional music. His songs will reach deep into you if you let them. His guitar playing is fantastic. It is hard to believe he makes such music by himself on one guitar. I also caught him at the ICONS Festival Sunday afternoon and he was fantastic, but the intimate setting of Tupelo was missing. I cant wait for Sept 24th and the Gaelic Storm!
LIAM FINN is amazing if you can get him. He's just finished his current US tour, but when he comes back this way...
I have just created a Tupelo Music Hall Group on Facebook! If anyone is over at that website check it out, become a member and spread the word!!

Lived in Hudson 20 years never heard of the Tupelo. Went to see New Riders of the Purples Sage. We sat in the front row and they played 4 songs for us including the oncore of Panama Red & Ripple. This was a totally awesome show & experience. Will be back soon!!!
I have two tix available for tonights 4/10 Colin Hay show. We can't go. Make me an offer.
email: dhanselnh@comcast.net
not real happy that the gallagher shows are fruit free,we purchased these tickets early so we could get up front seats,and they stated they were putting up plastic for the shows,now it seems they have changed their minds,squashing stuff is his trademark,I hope its still a good show
Alexi Murdoch
Lloyd Cole (now living in MA)!
Does anyone have any tickets for tonight's Psychedelic Furs show??
Love to go, please let me know.
I have one ticket available for tonight's Living Colour concert. If you'd like to purchase it, please call me at 978-649-9224.
I am planning to attend... just don't need the extra ticket. Living Colour is great, so we're expecting a good show.

Hey Ronnie Earl, What happened to the encore?
I would love to see Marc Cohn "Walkin' In Menphis" return to Tupelo! What a great voice. He is on tour with a new album of songs from the 70s and just left NH where he played at the Portsmouth Music Hall.
Can anyone post the Joan Osborne songlist from 3/13/2011?
Awesome performance!!
Thanks,
Bill
Bring back JJ GREY!! He put on one helluva sow. We came up from Portland Connecticut to see him and will gladley do so again
