Thursday, July 11, 6:30 - 9:30 p.m. The Damariscotta River Association's Midcoast Music Fest at Round Top Farm (The first of three Thursdays of the Midcoast Music Fest). Featuring The Jason Spooner Band. Maine's best music, food, beer and oysters in the Darrows Barn, one of the region's most memorable performance spaces.
Portland, Maine's own Jason Spooner Band (Jason Spooner - guitar & vocals, Reed Chambers - Drums & Percussion and Adam Frederick - Bass & vocals, Warren Mcpherson - Keyboards & vocals) is in the midst of one of the band's most exciting musical growth spurts to date. The band's latest studio album Sea Monster has been featured heavily on Sirius/XM's The Loft channel, on NPR's All Things Considered and at over 11,000 Starbucks retail locations nationwide. At last year's festival the band's unique blend of roots, blues, funk and folk made dancing irresistible. Toward the end of the show, the entire audience was on its feet, yet a cross-breeze coming up from the river kept the barn cool. The band's website, www.jasonspooner.com, provides additional background on their award-winning sound.
The New Rangers, a long-time favorite of DRA's summer music festivals, will open for the Jason Spooner Band, covering favorites from Johnny Cash and Bob Dylan to Jerry Garcia and Paul Simon. The New Rangers feature Jim Nelson on bass, John Reny on lead guitar, John Riley on guitar and percussion, Mike Nelson on guitar, and Peter Jackson - also of "The Horseshoe Crabs" - on pedal steel guitar. The band draws on the acoustic, country-rock roots that had been the original focus of the Round Pond Rangers, whose former members make up the core of the new group.
