Dear Cider Mag Readers,
March marks our one year anniversary as the new owners and
publishers of Cider Mag! Brett and I have really learned a lot this
year and are very excited about the direction this regional music
magazine is headed. We are proud to be “The NH and VT Entertainment Authority” and have taken Cider Mag to many new places
this year. I want to thank you for coming along this journey with us,
as we wouldn’t be anywhere without you, our readers. Please let us
know what you think. We want your feedback in the form of emails,
letters, photos, messages, posts, and Tweets! Our Cider Mag mission
this year—hopefully in the next couple of months—is to feature your
comments in a section of the magazine each month, for everyone to
read.
This month also marks the end of winter and the beginning of
spring! I couldn’t be happier about this, even though the snow in my
yard is still up to my thighs. As a lifelong New Hampshire resident
I know that mud season is just around the corner, which is followed
by my favorite, festival season! So, in this issue we continue our club
coverage with an exclusive interview with The Expendables, from
their recent stop at Higher Ground. Writer John Powell really helps
you get to know these guys, who are an inspiration to musicians
everywhere, as they keep making fabulous Reggae-Rock music for
their growing number of fans.
We’ve also taken the time in this issue to introduce you to a couple emerging bands: Ajar Project and At the Heart of It. These two
New Hampshire groups are stepping out in the Rock scene, and I
am happy to familiarize you with them. As always we recommend a
Ghost Dinner Band show, so this month we bring you a very energetic review from a recent show.
Cider Mag also wants to give a big CONGRATULATIONS to all
the Vermont bands that make up the Big
Heavy World SXSW 2015 Vermont Showcase this month in Austin, Texas! Read the
details and make sure to wish them all well
on their big adventures.
Cheers!
