Hush Hush Sweet Harlot is a music series started by Sidney Alexis in the fall of 2003. Laurel Brauns took over the booking in January 2005 and Jay Boucher began his current booking reign in January 2007.

The purpose of the series is to provide a smaller venue for music in the NH Seacoast. Manager Cresta Smith has created an atmosphere that is mysterious, historic, and dreamy - making it the perfect room to absorb the quieter side of indie-rock, alternative, and americana.

Each Monday night, the series brings in artists from the Northeast along with national touring acts traveling through Boston and Portland.

Over the last few years we’ve had John Vanderslice, Jason Anderson, Tigersaw, Unbunny, Jana Hunter, Soltero, Seekonk, Jon Nolan, The Texas Governor, Mittens, Charalambides, Stephen Brodsky, Feathers, Barn Burning, The Places, Elsa Cross, and Phantom Buffalo to list just a few.

Shows start at 8pm and there is a small five dollar suggested donation going right to the performers.

This has been an amazing year for us with lots of great performances and an awesome write up in Pitchfork by Chris Dahlen. We'd like to thank Pro-Portsmouth, Dave Karlotski and The Wire for putting on a bunch of amazing street shows last summer that happened to feature quite a few Hush Hush regulars.
