Tra-la, it’s May, the Merry Month of May…  

On this coming Sunday in May, we celebrate all mothers with hugs and flowers and expressions of our love.

Our intimate setting and supportive atmosphere make it the perfect place to share your music with a friendly audience. Don't miss this chance to be a part of the musical magic at the Sunapee CoffeeHouse — we can't wait to hear what you've got! And who knows, maybe you'll even be the one to create that magic.

Zach Nugent’s Dead Set

Fri, May 19 @ 7:30pm

At LOH, guitarist/vocalist Zach Nugent celebrates the 45th anniversary of Grateful Dead’s one-and-only New Hampshire concert: a May 5, 1978 appearance at Dartmouth College’s Thompson Arena as part of Green Key Weekend.

With his Dead Set band, the noted Vermont-based Grateful Dead expert (and former member of Melvin Seals & JGB) will faithfully re-create the Hanover set list song-for-song — from Promised Land to a Werewolves of London encore — with original GD gear on stage.

Choose your own adventure! In an effort to keep the atmosphere friendly and fun, we’re offering two seating experiences for this performance:

If you’d like to sit close to the action with the freedom to stand and groove in place, choose a General Admission ticket in the orchestra level. Orchestra seating is on a first-come, first-served basis.

If you’d prefer to have an assigned location where those around you remain seated during the show, grab a Reserved ticket in the balcony. Learn More
