Keene, NH has about 23,000 residents and is the home of Keene State College. It is two hours from Boston and about three hours from Burlington. There is no major interstate and the last leg of the drive from Logan International Airport weaves down two lane roads.

Nestled in Downtown Keene is an old brick warehouse. It is home to a fantastic partnership between multiple businesses and organizations. During the day, it is home to Brewbaker’s Cafe. At night, the space turns into a music venue with multiple concerts produced each week by Nova Arts.

This collaboration, also supported by Arts Alive!, is building a culture where the people of Keene can discover new music, create and perform music of their own, and have what so few small towns have; an authentic music scene.
