Hello!
A quick
update this time around as we come up for air in
between snow storms here in Maine. Mother nature
continues to deliver the punches, that is for
sure! They say that March is "in like a lion and
out like a lamb…" let's hope spring is around
the corner!
Just a small handful of fun
local shows this month… hope you all manage to
shake off the cabin fever to make it out for at
least ONE of these events.
A FEW QUICK REMINDERS:
ONLINE NEWSLETTER
Just a heads-up that the more robust online
version of this newsletter is viewable here:

NEW FACEBOOK BAND PAGE
& TWITTER REMINDER
Just a brief
reminder that we now have a band Facebook
and Twitter page. Like 'em today! Tell your
friends!
F.O.G. FESTIVAL MADNESS WITH JOHN POPPER OF BLUES TRAVELER & CHRIS BARRON OF THE SPIN DOCTORS
Every March here in
Portland, local celeb,
music-lover and overall
impresario-around-town Greg
Martens throws a monster
birthday for himself and his
long list of pals that doubles
as a very worthy charity event
dedicated at raising money for
Maine's The Good Shepherd Food
Band. Coined the F.O.G. ("Friend
of Greg") Festival, the event is
always a memorable night with a
wide range of local and national
talent.
This year, for his 50th
b-day, Greg may very well have
outdone himself. Not only will
the main event on Friday, March
1 feature sets by John Popper
and Chris Barron, but both acts
will be backed by Portland's
favorite 18 piece big band, The
Fogcutters. Something tells me
that we've never heard the once
ubiquitous verses of early 90's
classics like "But Anyway" or
"Little Miss Can't Be Wrong"
dressed up in full horn splendor
quite like this before. I have a
strong feeling that this will be
a memorable night to say they
least!
Several bands and
guest stars will be taking the
stages all night… The Spooner
Band will be kicking things off
at 9pm… and will be playing a
later set as well. Don't miss
this one!
Tickets are
going fast so if you'd like to
attend, get your orders in
below!

ST.
PATRICK'S DAY SPOONER BAND MATINÉE AT BRIAN BORU
There is certainly no shortage of Irish bars on our fair peninsula here in Casco Bay but the venerable Brian Boru annually executes St. Patrick’s Day with just the right mix of style & festivities - mayhem, music, food, the works.
St. Patty's falls on a Sunday this year so we're expecting to start the party EARLY this time around. There will be music all day starting in the morning so don't be shy! The Spooner Band will be taking the day shift this year from 1pm to 4pm. Come down! What ELSE is there to do on a Sunday in March!?!?
Sunday, March 17
Music all day and night!
Spooner Band - 1pm

We'll be performing a relaxed set in this one-of-a-kind space on Saturday, March 30. Join us for a rare show at a rare venue!
