FREE ALL-AGES SHOW with Merther !! A must see!!!

✨✨ JUST ANNOUNCED ✨✨
Merther is playing a FREE show at Vinegar Hill!
📅: Friday, August 23rd
🍣🚚: Great Wave Sushi at 6pm!
More info: https://vinhillmusic.com/performance/merther/

✨ Join us for a FREE event featuring the amazing, inventive creations of Great Wave Sushi paired with the kaleidoscopic music of Merther!

✨ Great Wave Sushi rocked our world so much last year that we just had to bring them back for a similar free event this year. Chef Alex Herzog is a true innovator, and with menu items like a sushi burger (sushi filling between fried rice buns), sushi lovers will NOT want to miss this one!

✨ Fusing everything from jazz, soul, calypso, jamtronica, and funk, to prog rock, heavy metal, reggae/dub, psychedelia and jamband rock, Merther has been writing and performing original music all around the Northeast for well over a decade and counting! They have generated and sustained a following of all different types of music lovers, continuing to dazzle audiences with harmonized and syncopated licks between instruments, poetic and critical lyrics, and deep sonic improvisations.

This is a first for us: a double booking on Saturday -- one show for the southern coast and one for the northern coast!

Another plus: both shows are ALL-AGES!

Up north in Hancock County, at The Nor'Easter Pound & Market on Mount Desert Island, we have Bad Daddy, an original Maine band with a gritty, crunchy compression of classic blues and dank, sticky roots rock, infusing Chicago blues with the spirit of coastal Maine. The concert is free and happens 7-10 PM:
Bad Daddy @ The Nor'easter Pound & Market

For southern Mainers, in Cumberland County at Lenny's At Hawkes Plaza in Westbrook, Down East Dead, Maine's Grateful Dead tribute band known for having stretched out to the farthest corners of the state in recent years, return for another summer night of fun, food, music and dancing by the campfires. Concert is $10 and happens from 6:30-9:

Down East Dead at Lenny's at Hawkes Plaza

Check out these bands and see whichever is closest to you on Saturday (or any other night that they come your way). They're both fun bands worth seeing.

Please like these bands and venues for their commitment to bringing live music entertainment to you, and like and share these events to show your support.

Thanks!

The Broken Men show just about a week ago was amazingly special. They're 40+ year tenure playing in Maine has earned them a solid loyal fan base that brings the love every time.
It was such a good time. Here is "Sugaree" from their June 8 performance at Portland House of Music and Events.

It was an honor to take part in bringing Plush to their first show in Maine!
One thing I meant to say in my show intro last night but forgot, is this:
Having seen the Plush ladies in action over the last two days, I am impressed with how much they genuinely care about their fans.
They go out of their way to meet them and have meaningful interactions. Their energy is super nice and friendly!

Great show last night everybody!
Thanks to Sorrowfuse for warming up the crowd. The show was all around amazing!
