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.

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!

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
