Certain towns in northern New Hampshire are becoming destinations for artists. But why? And can music fuel community development and growth? Jason Tors thinks so. He’s the owner and artist behind the Loading Dock in Littleton. It’s an unlikely space for music. “I was instantly attracted to it because it was super raw, had brick walls and exposed ceilings and felt like something that I would find in New York City or Brooklyn,” said Tors of the former newspaper storeroom that now houses his business. In the past four years, Tors and a handful of volunteers have created a place for up and coming artists to perform. He's also tried to encourage more people to move north. Inspired by a 1960s ad campaign that read "Nebraska Needs You," Tors made buttons with an image of Mount Lafayette and the words "The North Country Needs You." "And the idea is to try and draw out some of these younger folks with, you know, horizon broadening experiences and bring them into rural areas," he explained. Arts
