IT Director by day, short-story writer and 'A Long Walk' Podcast creator, Ben Cardoza, sits to talk about a myriad facets of his life and gives a look at what brought about the creation of a fantastic adventure podcast being created, and voiced, locally. The storytelling is tremendous, full of vivid imagery of settings and space, and with 'short-story' always in mind, it is a podcast that won't eat your life's precious hours. Ben is a great reminder that regardless of your day job, there's always room in life to pursue creative endeavors. Get out there and "make the thing!" Ladies and Gentlefolk, the great and powerful, Ben Cardoza!

Foo - A Tribute plays drummer father’s celebration of life and offers a fitting tribute to an area music brother to so many. A proper send-off to a man heading to a great jam beyond. This was packed with scores of people whose lives he impacted, and it was inspiring to witness. Well done, boys.

There are many reasons to never miss a Bob Dylan Appreciation Night, here are a few: always brings the heat, every now and then a giant will pop out of the woodwork and you’ll see someone like ****la doing a few songs fully a ca****la, and the always lovable will most likely make you smile and agree to a hug. What more could you need?

More meaningful than fame and riches, more important than awards and acknowledgments, and more impactful than sold-out tours, is the work being done by greats within this community, enabling artists to 'pass the light' to the next generation of artists and creative thinkers. We commend Creative Guts hosts Laura Harper Lake and Sarah Wrightsman for doing the work to create a platform that enables that to happen, for bringing in greats like Lindsay Paige Garfield and Jon Nolan to share with the kids their experiences in, and love for, music, and for helping to highlight a sentiment that we think most artists feel; popularity doesn't rule over the compulsion to create art. When it's pure, popularity doesn't enter the equation, it's all about genuine expression.

If you haven't already started following the Creative Guts folks, please do. If you work within another area school, please consider bringing this kind of event through for your kids.

Devastation rings through the community of musicians and artists throughout the Seacoast today, as another beloved venue is set to close. Those within the community will now, again, scatter to the remaining stages, a shrinking number, and the silver lining is that this will cause another swirl, or mixing of those creators within the scene. It’s not a huge positive, but there’s enough negative to go around, and we need to all work to find the positive and magnify it.

Thank you to the staff of Book&Bar, to the owners for giving it as long a run as they could, and we hope a less expensive piece of real estate emerges and you try it again. We’ll be there for you if you do.

For over a decade Book & Bar has been more than a business; it has been a home away from home for so many people: readers, writers, thinkers, drinkers, poets, and performers. It’s been a labor of love, a project driven by passion. We’ve counted our profits not in dollars but in incalculable conversations, experiences, and relationships. Regrettably, the difficult decision to close has become unavoidable, and our last day of operation will be Sunday, January 28.
To each person who contributed to this journey—our dedicated staff, loyal patrons, talented performers, and the community at large—we owe an immense debt. Without you, Book & Bar would not have flourished. You have our heartfelt gratitude for this.
Over the next couple of weeks we invite you to come in and celebrate with us. As ever, we’ll be here with great books, food, drinks, music, and people.
