CPAC’s Spring Season 2010

Friday, March 26       TWO OLD FRIENDS                       7:00 pm
MAC MCHALE & EMERY HUTCHINS

Mac McHale and Emery Hutchins, affectionately known as Mac & Hutch, have recently joined forces to sing and play songs from Ireland, the mountains and the sea. Mac and Hutch were the original founders of Northeast Winds and traveled and recorded with The Winds for nearly 15 years. For the last 15 years Mac has headed up a very successful group, Mac McHale & the Old-Time Radio Gang.  Hutch has been a very important part of the Angel Band, a world famous Irish music group. They will be performing some of their favorites from The Northeast Winds as well as some very old-time traditional country music.  The program is sure to include some of your favorite sea songs, a good amount of hot picking instrumentals and some great sing-a-longs. Mac & Hutch will be playing the banjo, guitar, mandolin, concertina, bodran and the harmonica.

Prior to the concert, there will be a benefit Irish Supper (Irish stew, mashed potatoes and soda bread, dessert and coffee or tea) in the Caribou High School Café. The meal will be prepared by the Culinary Arts class at CHS and dinner service will commence at 5:00pm. Dinner benefits the CHS Drama Club.

 

Thursday-Saturday,April 8-10      GODSPELL                    7:00 pm

Godspell (an archaic spelling of the word gospel) is a 1970 musical by Stephen Schwartz and John-Michael Tebelak. It opened off Broadway on May 17, 1971, and has played in various touring companies and revivals many times since. The structure of the musical is that of a series of parables, based on the Gospel of Matthew (though considerable material, such as the parables of the prodigal son and of the rich man and Lazarus, comes exclusively from the Gospel of Luke). These are then interspersed with a variety of modern music set primarily to lyrics from traditional hymns, with the passion of Christ treated briefly near the end of performance. It started as a college project performed by students at Carnegie Mellon University and moved to La Mama in Greenwich Village. Produced by Joe Zubrick and featuring the Caribou High School Drama Club and community.

 

Friday, April 30                      DAVE MALLETT                 7:00 pm

The cool breezes of Maine's northlands have flowed through the songs of David Mallett for more than four decades. In addition to being featured on his eleven solo albums, Mallett's pen has provided material for an eclectic list of artists that includes Arlo Guthrie, Pete Seeger, Emmylou Harris, Kathy Mattea, John Denver and the Muppets. His tune, "The Garden Song", has been recorded more than one hundred and fifty times.
 After eleven albums of original tunes, Mallett, 57, has taken a different approach with his latest effort, "The Fable True". Based on a book by naturalist/author Henry David Thoreau (1817-1862), "The Maine Woods", the album features Thoreau's words set to new melodies composed by Mallett. "I picked out twenty-two stories", said Mallett, "and surrounded each with a separate piece of music. It's a nice little package, actually."
