SUMMARY:Sister Steel
DESCRIPTION:Sister Steel is a unique and energetic professional steel drum band based in Portland\, ME. This inclusive instrument is as much fun to play as it is to listen to! Our music\, everything from traditional calypso to contemporary pop\, will be sure to have you dancing. Most of us have been playing together amidst a cultural phenomenon in Blue Hill\, ME since high school\, some of even longer\, under the direction of Carl Chase and his son Nigel. Carl brought the steel drums from Trinidad and Tobago to Blue Hill over 50 years ago and they have only been gaining in popularity ever since. Our name plays homage to the kinship we feel with the bands we grew up with and the community we come from. Through our commitment to high quality musical arrangements\, we pay tribute to the history and culture of the tradition. We believe in the light-hearted\, community-building spirit steeldrums have brought to New England and are passionate about strengthening this tradition in Portland.

SUMMARY:Swing Dance featuring Soggy Po Boys & Portland Swing Project
DESCRIPTION:Born on a snowy Fat Tuesday night of 2012\, the Soggy Po’ Boys have been honing their craft of New Orleans’ music as part of their Tuesday residency in their home town of Dover\, New Hampshire. In between local gigs they’ve fit in more than a hundred shows every year\, from festivals and concerts to politics-infused burlesque collaborations and street parades\, spanning Maine to Georgia.  The band is equally at home everywhere it goes\, though\, and part of the beauty of New Orleans music is that it’s celebrated and appreciated wherever it goes\, from the street to the theater. The Soggy Po’ Boys serve their jazz messy\, mixing brass-fueled mayhem with spirituals\, Meters-style old-school funk\, and the Caribbean side of the New Orleans tradition. NHPR describes the band in this way: “If you’ve been to Sonny’s Tavern in Dover\, New Hampshire on a Tuesday night\, you could be forgiven for feeling like you’ve stepped into a New Orleans jazz club.” www.soggypoboys.com \nPortland Swing Project is a local organization with a passion for swing music and dances of the 1920s to today. We teach\, dance\, perform and provide live and DJ’d swing music spanning a century to local venues. We’re also some of the friendliest people you’ll ever meet – we have a bunch of fun so come join us! For information on weekly classes and dances\, private lessons and special events\, check out www.portlandswingproject.com.
