Blues Prophets & Outer Space - Together Again!
OUTERSPACE BAND
We were a tribe. Our sweat lodge was a roadhouse and we called ourselves Outerspace. Music was at the core, it bound us together. The rest was simply uncharted territory. No one knew what would happen, and that was good. We surfed where there were no waves and played boldly in granite quarries and fields in the middle of nowhere; we kept the music coming. And we became our dreams, jettisoning what no longer had meaning while hanging tenaciously onto the joy at the center of it we played for all the right reasons.
Hailing from Massachusetts, but making Maine their adopted home, The Outerspace Band played up and down the Eastern Seaboard thrilling audiences in the seventies, eighties and beyond while garnering a swarm of faithful followers, even playing the White House for Susan Ford's graduation party! OSB has penned many memorable originals that have become band classics, while still covering some of the music that inspired them to pick up their instruments in the first place. Space never sticks to a playbook and their performances go wherever the music takes them. This show is not to be missed!
THE BLUES PROPHETS
The Blues Prophets began as The New England Blues Prophets rehearsing in the basement of a house in Fairfield, Maine in 1976. Live music was everywhere in those years. Still, to the bands surprise, patrons embraced a band that played the blues and nothing else. The Blues Prophets introduced many local patrons to the music.
The band traveled to the blues bars of Chicago, played many stages in New Orleans, Washington, D.C., Boston, and throughout Maine/New England, honing their craft and becoming an institution. During their travels the boys met and jammed with living legends of the day such as James Cotton, Otis Rush, Muddy Waters, Professor Longhair, Jimmy Johnson and Bonnie Raitt.
Come hear these local blues masters exhibit their devotion to this cornerstone of American Music.
ANDREA RE'
Both bands will be joined and enhanced by talented soul siren, Andrea Re! Andrea was the singer for the Blues Prophets in the early years and went on to perform in many popular acts, leading her own popular band "Clouds". In addition to being a singing super talent Andrea is also a a wonderful percussionist, going on to tour with world famous Jackson Browne!
TOGETHER AGAIN!
