BROWNFIELD, Maine — Stone Mountain Arts Center presents a remarkable September doubleheader, with two artists who couldn't be more different in their approach to music but share one important quality: great songs.
On Friday, Sept. 11, SMAC welcomes legendary singer/songwriter Karla Bonoff, followed on Saturday, Sept.12, by the wonderfully unconventional one-man musical world of The Suitcase Junket, featuring Vermont-raised artist Matt Lorenz.
