Come join us in a fun loving, singing experience where we will celebrate light's return through CircleSinging. What better way to bring light into the lives of others and ourselves, than through singing in community. If you're not familiar with this form of singing, the following quote gives a lovely summation: CircleSinging is: vocal “jamming,” add-a-part/change-a-part, vocal orchestra, “voicestra”, a “drum circle” for singers, or just plain “make it up” singing. It’s done all over the world in countless different ways and it dates back to the earliest forms of human singing.

White Mountain Ramblers: Summer Deck Series at 317

White Mountain Ramblers: Summer Deck Series at 317

Formed in 2024, White Mountain Ramblers is an acoustic quartet playing bluegrass and beyond. The band features Nathaniel Haas (upright bass/vocals), Ben Rossetter (mandolin/vocals), Luke Bartol (fiddle), and Robbie Neeb (guitar/vocals). Playing a mix of original, familiar, and traditional music, WMR's eclectic sound draws from the members’ diverse musical backgrounds. As outdoor enthusiasts who have lived in mountain ranges across the U.S., it only made sense to name the band after the Whites, the range that brought them together. Found in venues, bars, and fields across Northern New England, WMR’s hot licks, three part harmonies, and fresh arrangements are sure to get you ramblin’ along.
