Barnstead
Parks And Recreation Summer Concert Series
On Saturday, June 24
please join Barnstead Parks and Recreation in welcoming the return of
singer / songwriter Mark Huzar, performing with his special guest
Carleton Page. The evening will feature a familiar yet eclectic
mix of Mark’s original songs and classic tunes by artists such as the
Beatles, the Allman Brothers, and the Grateful Dead. Mark and
Carleton met in the late 90s when both worked for Daddy’s Junky Music in
Manchester; however, this will be their first time collaborating on
stage.
As well as being an accomplished solo artist, Mark leads his
band, Tore Down House, as its vocalist and guitarist, and on occasion
also plays bass guitar with the Yeah Guys. No stranger to the
Barnstead stage, Tore Down House will perform later in the summer, and
Mark will also introduce his newly assembled group, Mark Huzar’s Roots
Society. A multi-faceted musician, Mark writes and sings, and
plays guitar, bass guitar, drums, and keyboards. He has been
performing for decades. As to his musical style, Mark has this to
say, “I’ve been influenced by music from all over this world. I
really don’t subscribe to putting a label on music, I think that limits
the possibilities of what a musician can express… In other words, play
what you feel.” In addition to his extensive musical pursuits,
Mark is a skilled luthier who in his free time enjoys riding his
motorcycles, creating culinary delights, snowboarding and adventuring.
Hailing from Gilmanton Iron Works, Carleton Page, will blend his talents
on mandolin, banjo and guitar with Mark’s vocals and guitar.
Carleton is a guitar instructor, who has worked at Strings & Things
Music for the past 15 years. When he is not teaching, Carleton is busy
playing, recording and composing for many local groups, including the
former area favorite Lamont Smooth. While playing with “Smooth” he
co-wrote two songs and played on their CD “Body”. He was also the
original lead guitarist for The Ron Noyes Band and can be heard on the
popular CD “Something Else.” Some of the other local bands he has played
with are Brooks Young Band, Geddes Road and GCK. These groups have
opened for acts such as Chris Duarte, Train, Gordon Stone and Percy
Hill. Over the past couple of years, Carleton has been playing duo and
trio performances with musicians such as Ellen Carlson, Darrell Carlson,
Dave Shaw, Tim “Clawhammer” Rowell, Woody Pringle, and many others.
The Friends of the Oscar Foss Memorial Library will be on hand with
concessions this evening. Remember to bring a lawn chair or
blanket and a friend or three or five. As always, smoking and
alcohol are prohibited on the Parade Grounds. Come enjoy this free
event and show your support for local music! The show starts at
6:00 pm. You won’t want to miss it.
