COMING UP! Join us for CHRIS SMITHER AND THE MOTIVATORS on Saturday, November 16, 2024 at 7:30pm.

Having distilled his own signature sound of blues and folk for over 50 years and twenty records, CHRIS SMITHER is truly an American original. A profound songwriter, Chris continues to draw deeply from the blues, American folk music, modern poets and philosophers. He has always traveled his own road and stayed true to his musical vision. Chris has developed and maintained loyal friendships over the years with kindred-spirited musicians like Bonnie Raitt, Jorma Kaukonen, and Tim O’Brien, while at the same time throughout his career been inspired by and inspiring to today’s next-generation of musicians like The Suitcase Junket and Peter Mulvey. He may be best known for writing “Love You Like A Man” which Bonnie Raitt and, more recently, jazz great Diana Krall have covered. His music has been covered by numerous artists and featured in soundtrack albums, independent films, television, and commercials. Reviewers continue to praise his dazzling guitar work, gravelly voice and songwriting.

Join us for a special evening of live music at The Waldo! Tickets at link in bio.

The Heather Pierson Trio returns to The Waldo with "A Charlie Brown Christmas" on Saturday December 22 at 4pm.

https://waldotheatreinc.thundertix.com/events/236081

In their annual December offering, The Heather Pierson Trio performs the entirety of the ‘A Charlie Brown Christmas’ album as recorded by the Vince Guaraldi Trio, as well as other Guaraldi compositions and holiday favorites. The musical score for ‘A Charlie Brown Christmas’, composed by the late Vince Guaraldi and first broadcast in December of 1965, is just as poignant and touching as the story and includes the hugely popular hit ‘Linus and Lucy’. Guaraldi’s gentle jazz riffs established musical trademarks that, to this day, still prompt smiles of recognition.

Heather Pierson is a New Hampshire based singer/songwriter, pianist, song leader, and performer with a passion for cultivating joy, both onstage and off. With a toe in each of the realms of New Orleans jazz, blues, and folk, her multi-genre songwriting places her in a category all her own, one honed by decades of diligent practice and curious exploration. Her trio, with Shawn Nadeau on bass/vocals and Craig Bryan on percussion/vocals, performs a rich variety of Heather's originals, jazz and blues standards, and unique re-workings of familiar classics. Their live performances feature their brilliant musicianship, stirring three-part vocal harmonies, boundless joy, and a desire to share from the heart.

TONIGHT AT 6PM! Waldoboro locals… you are not going to want to miss this! The Waldoboro Talent Show is happening tonight- Saturday, November 2nd at 6pm.

We have an incredible lineup for Waldoboro’s 2024 Talent Show with the Waldoboro Fire Department as one of its headliners. Yep! It’s TRUE. Joining them are numbers by Morganne Price and her dog Kraken, Derek Booker and the EMS, and, if luck prevails, a trio of clam harvesters led by Abden Simmons. It will be a community evening for all ages!

As MC Sam Pennington says, “I can’t believe this line-up. With free admission, people need to get their tickets early since there’s only 290 seats available. I wouldn’t be surprised if we sell out!”

Contributions in any amount, which can be made online while reserving tickets, will support the Waldo’s variety of community programs. ADA seating is limited and should be reserved in advance.

As organizer and producer Rebecca Cooney says, “This is a night to bring everyone under one roof—singing, clapping, dancing in the aisles and just plain supporting each other – and at its end, walking out sprinkled with fairy dust.”

Please help us spread the word and please JOIN US! Pay what you can!

Adam Ezra Group Returns to The Waldo December 20 at 7:30pm!
https://waldotheatreinc.thundertix.com/events/230633

Working outside the confines of the traditional music industry, Adam Ezra and his bandmates – Corinna Smith (fiddle), Alex Martin (drums), Poche Ponce (bass) - have built a community of fans through sheer grit and determination, regularly performing hundreds of shows a year for the past two decades without any major label or mainstream radio support.

Fusing folk intimacy and rock energy with soul power and pop charm, the band first emerged from Boston in the early 2000s and quickly garnered widespread acclaim for their bold, insightful songwriting and interactive, euphoric performances. From hole in the wall bars and house concerts to sold-out headline shows and dates with the likes of Little Big Town, The Wallflowers, Gavin DeGraw, Train, and The Wailers, Ezra and his bandmates treat every single gig like their last, attracting a die-hard following that believe not just in the music, but in their commitment to activism and social change, as well.

Love Local?
Coming right up on the heels of The Waldoboro Talent Show this Saturday, we've got "Yourville": a completely improvised comedy show inspired by the characters, events, and history of the area where YOU’RE from on Saturday November 23!
https://waldotheatreinc.thundertix.com/events/231241

Created by Jeremy Brothers (Improv Asylum) and Ryan Gaul (The
Groundlings), Yourville, features some of the funniest improv and sketch
performers from around the country. In the vein of ‘Whose Line Is It Anyway’,
the games and scenes are all inspired by suggestions from audience
interviews, local newspapers, and what the talk of the town has been in and
around your area.

“I grew up down the road in Damariscotta,” says Ryan Gaul, an LA-based
writer and actor from The Last O.G., Superstore and Between Two Ferns: The
Movie. “So being able to do the show at the Waldo Theatre is a bit of a
homecoming for me. I’m looking forward to being able to perform again in
the area.”

Come celebrate SOCCER on Friday, November 15th at 7pm with a screening of COPA ‘71 at The Waldo. Wear your team uniform and get free freshly popped popcorn! 👀💥

COPA ‘71 shares the extraordinary story of the 1971 Women’s World Cup, which was held in Mexico City and witnessed by more than 100,000 fans. This landmark tournament was dismissed by FIFA and written out of sports history – until now.

Executive produced by Venus & Serena Williams and Alex Morgan, COPA ‘71 weaves together dazzling archival footage and interviews with the former players.

“Riveting and revolutionary… goes way beyond soccer.” The Guardian

“As gripping as any cup final.” Sight & Sound

VYNTYGE SKYNYRD at The Waldo Saturday October 26!
https://waldotheatreinc.thundertix.com/events/234248
Lynyrd Skynyrd was the most formidable band ever to emerge from the South. Vyntyge Skynyrd tributes and celebrates the 1970's era of the band by replicating this timeless music as it was originally recorded and performed. Vyntyge Skynyrd captures the fire and heart of the band, as well as the soul of their fearless leader Ronnie Van Zant.
You'll be transported back to 1977 where you will hear all the classic Skynyrd favorites such as Sweet Home Alabama, Saturday Night Special, Gimme Three Steps, and of course you can yell "FREEBIRD" all you like because you will in fact get it!
"I want to thank you guys for carrying on the name of Lynyrd Skynyrd" - Johnny Van Zant (Lynyrd Skynyrd lead singer)
