SUMMARY:Square to Square Outdoor Concert Series: Sigrid Sibley + Thomas Charles Clukey
DESCRIPTION:Presented in partnership with One Longfellow Square! *also serving as the rain location \nSigrid Sibley is a singer-songwriter from Poland Spring\, Maine\, where she was raised on a small homestead surrounded by gardens\, fruit trees\, and backyard chickens. Inspired by a childhood spent reading\, writing poetry\, and listening to her family’s music collection\, she began writing songs after picking up the guitar at age 11. \nAn active part of the Maine music scene since 2017\, Sigrid performs across the state at festivals\, songwriter showcases\, coffee shops\, bookstores\, and markets. A graduate of the University of Southern Maine’s Music Education and Composition program\, she released her debut album\, Old Faithful Dreams\, in May 2025. The album’s first single\, “Never Knew Love\,” was named a finalist in the Maine Songwriters Association’s 2025 Songwriter Contest. \nThomas Charles Clukey grew up in rural Maine\, where music first found him through classic country radio\, school bands\, and time spent singing with his dad. Though he spent years working with his hands in welding and manufacturing\, songwriting remained a quiet constant in the background. In recent years\, that spark has grown into a full-blown pursuit—leading to award-winning songs\, local performances\, and the release of his first singles as he works toward his debut album.

SUMMARY:Square to Square Outdoor Concert Series: Portland Jazz Orchestra

SUMMARY:Square to Square Outdoor Concert Series: Sunburned Sharks
DESCRIPTION:Presented in partnership with One Longfellow Square! *also serving as the rain location \n  \nBased in Portland\, Maine\, Sunburned Sharks delivers sun-soaked indie-funk R&B distilled from 60s soul\, 70s funk\, 80s pop\, 90s rock\, R&B\, and classic rock rolled into one “gritty vintage-meets-polished modern” vision. \nWith bright guitar lines that catch the light like ocean spray\, go-down-smooth vocals\, and airtight horn lines that punch with big-band swagger\, Sunburned Sharks has drawn comparisons to Hozier’s spiritual intensity\, Lake Street Dive’s horn-fueled vitality\, Vulfpeck’s vacuum-seal vision\, and John Mayer’s guitar finesse. The setlist might take you from Whitney Houston to Marvin Gaye\, Al Green to Fleetwood Mac\, Tom Petty to The Dip\, Bruce Springsteen to original indie-funk fever dreams—each delivered with an energy that could power a town for a week.
