GREAT BARRINGTON, Mass. — House of Hamill will perform at the Guthrie Center on Saturday, Aug. 10, as a part of the Troubadour Series of Saturday night concerts. Showtime is 8:00 PM.

According to a press release, House of Hamill's music is described as "upcycled Celtic folk; vintage vibes with a modern message."

The band line-up includes Rose Baldino (fiddle and vocals), Brian Buchanan (fiddle, vocals, and guitar), and Caroline Browning (bass, mandolin, vocals and piano). The trio tours nationally, performing at festivals and established folk venues.

Their fourth full-length album, "Wildfire," will be released to radio and streaming on Aug. 1. One of the tracks slated for the new album was a recent finalist in the International Acoustic Music Awards. The song is entitled, "Shine."

"We set out to write a song that might inspire women in the US and give them hope after a tough year. The song is meant for women in all phases of life. It's about having the courage to strike out into new territory and find a community in which you're valued," Baldino said.

All three members of House of Hamill also tour with the long-time Celtic rock band, Enter the Haggis, which means that House of Hamill is almost constantly on the road. Their recent schedule has led them to perform in at least 28 states and 3 countries, including hosting multiple bus tours through Ireland.

In addition to producing the Troubadour Series of concerts, they provide free weekly meals, a musical instrument lending library, and work in conjunction with other non-profits.

It's took more than a decade to bring the Eagle Lofts to fruition in the former Eagle mill.

LEE, Mass. — Hearthway wants community members to know there are three-bedroom units available at The Lofts at Eagle Mill with little to no waitlist.

The apartments at 73 West Center St. recently came online in the historic building on the banks of the Housatonic River after more than a decade of work. The first tenants began moving in last week.

Three-bedroom units are less than $2,000 per month for those who meet income requirements.

"These units are $1,855 a month with hot water included. To qualify, applicants must be under the 60 percent AMI income limit by household size and be able to afford the rent," the affordable housing provider wrote in a communication on Monday.

"Mobile vouchers are welcomed."

A ribbon was cut at the former paper mill over the summer for 56 one- to three-bedroom, mixed-income units in the heart of downtown.

According to a chart provided by Hearthway, 60 percent area median income is $55,320 per year for a one person household, $63,240 a year for a two-person household, $71,160 a year for a three-person household, and $79,020 a year for a four-person household.

Applications are available in English and Spanish. They can submitted via email to leasing@hearthway.org, drop off to the main office at 1 Fenn St in Pittsfield, fax to 413-403-2710, or USPS mail to P.O. Box 1180, Pittsfield, MA 01202-1180.
