May is a beloved month here at The Music Hall: It’s the month we get to celebrate all of our amazing members, and welcome so many new people to our membership family. It is because of all of you that we get to be the destination for indie films, celebrated authors, and comedians who make you laugh until you cry—not to mention all the music! With you in the audience, we welcome artists from Ray LaMontagne to Indigo Girls and everyone in between six nights a week.Read More

This summer we are happy to be back to our original time slot. There is so much great music to look forward! I am especially excited for a number of artists that will be performing on The Music Hall’s stage this summer. We will be celebrating the music of the renowned Grammy Award-winning, guitar-shredding, desert blues group Tinariwen on July 25. Brazil’s Seu Jorge makes his long-awaited Seacoast return on August 18. Discover the talents of Lauren Ruth Ward when she makes her Portsmouth debut at the Music Hall Loft on July 19. Her performances are reminiscent of Janis Joplin. Thanks for listening and for taking this journey with us!Read More

A national holiday, even one as somber as Memorial Day, is usually a beneficial break from routine.
But I count on routine to tell me what I should be doing on any particular day, and when I got to work today and discovered that I had blown my usual Monday afternoon invitation to a film discussion at The Music Hall, I grew slightly impatient with myself. I may even have said, “Darn it!” or something similar.Read More

With most movies to which I send discussion invitations, I try to spend a little time giving you a sense of what the movie’s about and why you might want to see (and discuss) it.
With RBG (which we will be discussing on Tuesday evening), I think most of my work is already done.Read More
