Writer, director, and actor Peter Gould has written a new book about his experiences living in a commune at Packer Corners in Guilford in the 1970s.

Suzzy Roche and Lucy Wainwright Roche are a mother-daughter duo whose most recent CD, Mud and Apples, was released in 2016. Their previous CD, Fairytale and Myth, was the...
Two beloved Guilford artists, jazz and rock musician Patty Carpenter and poet Verandah Porche, have been close friends for more than four decades. Even though they had toyed with the idea for a long time, it was only after the devastation in Southern Vermont caused by Tropical Storm Irene that the two decided to combine forces to create music. The result was a song about the impact of the flooding, “Waves in the Wind,” which became not only a meditation...
