Back Roads Connection ANDREW KOWALSKI Staff Writer Interest in music is one of Alpena's greatest qualities. Several art- ists from around the country are brought to various venues through- out the year. The music ranges from country to hardcore; the audience ranges from eighteen to eighty. Now we can add another venue to the list. Paul and Angela Wieske own the Back Roads Concert House. They had heard the idea from a friend in Colorado. Their inter- est in folk/acoustical music, combined with a lack of venue for that type of music, led them to try the house con- cert idea themselves. The Back Roads Con- cert House is Alpena's newest musical venue. It consists of an everyday liv- ing room, large in size, and with a well-lit stage area. It l seats anywhere from thirty to forty-five people. "There has been an amaz- ing response," said Angela, referring to the numbers they have posted since January. Many people love the atmosphere because unlike in a bar, you are there only to see the per- former. Angela referred to it as "comfortable" and "in- timate." It gives the audi- ence member a chance to see the artist up close and experience the music in a comfortable, smoke-free, alcohol-free environment. Each show is about two hours long. There is an intermission half- way through the pro- gram during which desserts, coffee, and other nonalcoholic beverages are served. Those attending get a chance to meet and chat with the artist during the intermission or just after the show. April's feature artist is Ashley Peacock. Ashley is a singer/songwriter from Cincinnati that plays folk music and does it well. The show is on Saturday, April 12 at 7pm. Those attend- ing are encouraged to make a ten-dolla,r dona- tion that is collected be- fore the show. All money collected is given directly to the performing artist. The Back Roads Con- cert House will continue to host performers from around the country through next year. An- gela admitted that the house is actually booked through fall and she hopes to book further into the year. If inter- ested in folk music, this may be the place for you.
