NEWMARKET — The new owners of the Stone Church vow to keep the music alive.

Scott Orlosk of Londonderry, Adam Schroadter of Newmarket and Art Murphy of Epping were the successful bidders at a foreclosure auction held on Friday, Sept. 12.

“Saving the music was the mission,” Orlosk said. “The Stone Church is a significant cult phenomenon and Newmarket really needs it. We know we have some things we need to do but we hope it will be a special place again, maybe even more special.”

Schroadter said it was important to them to preserve the nature of the popular music club that has been around since the late 1960s.

“We didn’t want to see it become a shoe store,” Schroadter said.

John Pasquale, one of the former owners, said he is glad the auction went the way it did. Before the auction started he said he hoped whoever got it would keep it as a music club.

“I know Scott and have been talking with him,” Pasquale said. “I’m pleased he’s the winning bidder. He wants the same type of club with the same type of music.”

The partners got the place for what seems like a song, $195,000. Still, they have to pay $16,762 in back taxes, and that number will keep.....
