porchbandBill Thayer and the Darthia Farm Porch Band

June 20th, 6pm - This modern jazz group needs no introduction to our regular Coffeehouse audience.  We can count on Jon Mastrovito on tenor sax, Frank Fredenburch on piano, Don Knowles on bass, and Bill Thayer on percussion.

SHUSH featuring Sepp Huber and Sheila Unvala

July 18th, 6pm - SHUSH plays American Folk Music on Guitar and Fiddle.  We play music that we love, from shakers and hollers to tender love songs, fiddle tunes, waltzes. It is all fair game at a SHUSH concert, and you'll probably be asked to sing, too.

MacLir Ceilidh Band with Paul Lamoureux

Celtic music on August 14th, Lobster Festival Day, before the parade, this time at Hammond Hall!

genenicholsThe Fab Five

July 19th

The Fab Five (or Six?) has thrilled zillioins of brain cells, triggered beckbaskets of endorphins, and corroded untold air molecules with its scintillating versions of Beatles numbers, both standard and obscure.  Holly "Fab" Mattraw, Lauren "Fab Koss, Alan "Fab" Cook, Duane "Fab" Ingalls, Gene "Fab" Nichols, and possibly an X-Fabtor are all the walrus, sweeter than a Savoy Truffle, and rockier than a raccoon on Downeast farmland - so love them do!
