Jesse Pilgrim and the Bonfire CD Release with Panda Bandits, Grant Street Orches

Jesse Pilgrim was born and raised in West Bath, Maine and wouldn't have it any other way. He plays loud and proud folk music with his band The Bonfire and tonight marks the debut release of his first full length album "Trial & Error." The Portland Phoenix writes, "Jesse Pilgrim's set sounded broadcast from Folsom Prison. Songs like these are fit for bold storytelling, and Pilgrim's clear, brassy pipes were a shiny and inclusive welcome." Opening the night are Panda Bandits who steal songs, burn down stages, and care nothing for money - they have come only for your soul. Also on the bill is Grant Street Orchestra. Born and raised in Parkside Portland, they are the most happenin' seven piece live hip hop act in town, fusing funk and rock into an energetic set that'll make you want to move. Rounding out the night is Butcher Boy, a maniacal four-piece that smashes the current 'folkpunk' trend to smithereens with a live show that is equal parts hardcore sweat-lodge dancefest and paranoid storytelling circle.
