Cobscook Bay Music Tenth Anniversary!
the Ticket Booth is Open!

Yes - it really has been ten years! Well, ok, technically not to the day. The first concert was actually in September, but I may have started the web site ten years ago. I'll have my research staff look into the official time sequence. In any case, I'm beyond thrilled to announce this milestone, and of course thank all of you and my wonderful accomplices, Bonnie Beard and Shanna Wheelock, for helping me add to the Lubec music cornucopia. Even better, it's been ten years since I moved to Lubec permanently, a dream I'd only imagined.

First concert of 2019 - April 27 - will be a house concert featuring Debra Cowan and John Roberts. Deb is a great friend and one who has encouraged me from that first winter in 2009. Few are willing to come here and perform in January, but Deb's first words on arrival were "I love it!" John Roberts, another great exponent of traditional music will be joining her or his second visit Downeast.

In May, a special "Mother's Day Music Weekend" featuring concerts by Slaid Cleaves (May 10), who lives in Austin, Texas but was raised in South Berwick and Round Pond, Maine, and slide blues guitarist Scott Ainslie (May 12), plus a bonus house concert on May 14, "Mother's Day Tuesday" (I just made that up) with "the Rough & Tumble," a fun and offbeat duo visiting Lubec for the first time. Scott will also perform at a house concert on May 9th.
