Durham based band hits Portsmouth’s Thirsty Moose

·

On Thursday night at the Thirsty Moose Tap Room in Portsmouth, the Durham based band Barefoot Young brought a diverse audience their mix of hip-hop, funk, reggae. Downstairs, in a red-lit room filled with both college-aged fans and older bar patrons, the beer and  bass-lines flowed alike. The genre-bending, groove heavy band consisting of UNH students Derek Bolivar, Matt James, Mark Delgrosso, Ben Taylor, and Ian Howard recently brought their sound back to the Seacoast after playing in New York and look forward to upcoming shows in Boston. After opening for the funk duo Jig & Funk twice before, the bill was swapped on Thursday night.

Review: Mask and Dagger’s “Carrie: The Musical”

·

The Broadway adaption of Stephen King’s novel “Carrie” was considered one of “Broadway’s biggest flops” when first performed in the 1980s as written by Dean Pitchford, Michael Gore and Lawrence Cohen. The reworked version, however, which premiered in 2012, was a hit when performed at UNH last weekend. The show was even sold out on Saturday evening’s performance, the last one of the weekend.
