July 24 Erica Brown & The Bluegrass Connection – At age nine, Erica Brown was traveling throughout New England, Canada, and even Louisiana with the Maine French Fiddlers. She also performed as a special guest with Mac McHale And The Old-Time Radio Gang for five years, was a member of the Bates College “Fighting Bobcats” Orchestra for five years, and was a member of the Maine All-State Music Festival for two years.

August 7 Pardon Me, Doug – A Tribute to Phish – Pardon Me, Doug (aka PMD) is a premier Phish tribute band formed in the fall of 2012 consisting of Portland, ME, music scene veterans Benny St. Clair (guitar), Chris Chasse (bass), Cameron Gray (drums), and Justin Wiley (keys). They have quickly amassed a loyal following of their own fellow Phish fans that, like themselves, need their fix when Phish isn't on tour. With a catalog of over 250 songs, no PMD show is the same, and the jams are a perfect blend of years of Phish influence and their own takes on the high-energy improvisation that Phish is so well known for. A PMD show is not just a concert, it's an experience! Check out our Facebook page here for upcoming shows. www.Facebook.com/PardonMeDoug
