Dead Archer to Present Burnt Timber Summer Concert Series

“A unique brand of Americana”

George Barber returns to Burnt Timber…

In Wolfeboro, Burnt Timber Brewing & Tavern will host a Summer Concert Series, produced by Dead Archer, that will take place on the first and third Friday of the month, June through August.

For George Barber, who formed Dead Archer with creative partner Andrew Johnson, their manager Mike Flatt, and friend Tim Cacket from the band Town Meeting, the series marks a return to Burnt Timber. “I was a yeast wrangler for a few years at Burnt Timber, and it was some of the most fun I’ve had,” he said.

Barber’s first love, however, was music, which had been his profession prior to moving back to New Hampshire after time spent out west. “Burnt Timber and everyone there gave my my first home when I moved to town and really helped me make the moves I needed to help me grow as an artist and musician,” he said. “The entire Burnt Timber family have been huge supporters since day one, and I’m so excited to keep that collaboration going with these shows.”

Barber will play with his band and special guests the first Friday of the month and will showcase and highlight some of his favorite bands from the NH music scene every 3rd Friday through the summer. He described his own band as “a unique brand of Americana” that pulls from songwriters like John Prine, Steve Earle, and Jason Isbell. “I blend that style with the gritty ruckus of bands like Lucero, Deer Tick, and Son Volt,” he added.

The Burnt Timber Summer Concert Series, sponsored by John Libby, CPA, begins Friday, June 4 in Burnt Timber’s recently opened outdoor beer garden, covered picnic tables, gazebo, and bar seating. Open mic is 5:30 p.m. followed by musical performances at 7:00 p.m.

In addition to a rotating craft beer menu, Burnt Timber has become well known for its approach to food, which includes fermenting their vegetables and salt-curing their meats (smoked over apple wood).
