SUMMARY:Portland Swing Project featuring Hadacol Bouncers
DESCRIPTION:The Hadacol Bouncers formed in the summer of 2013 for a Portland\, Maine swing dance festival and never looked back. The group is a joint effort by co-band leaders Tom Whitehead (piano) and Peter Dunphy (banjo). Tom has a multi-style background in blues\, New Orleans R&B and Bebop piano\, and Peter has been playing New Orleans and Chicago style jazz since he was fourteen. When forming the group\, Tom and Peter handpicked some of their favorite musicians from the Portland and Portsmouth jazz scene. \nThe Hadacol Bouncers play the music of Fats Waller\, James P. Johnson\, Louis Armstrong and more. The music is a fun hybrid of New Orleans Jazz\, Chicago-style Jazz\, novelty songs and other classics from the great American songbook.

SUMMARY:Jeff Beam Band
DESCRIPTION:Jeff Beam is a multi-instrumentalist songwriter from Portland\, Maine. He writes\, performs\, records\, & releases melodic experimental music tinged with kaleidoscopic soundscapes\, inspired by the likes of Olivia Tremor Control\, Elliott Smith\, Deerhunter\, & Spoon. His recordings are a one-man odyssey; his live shows revolve around an energetic band of his good friends. \nHis lyrics contain observations on humanity\, existence\, perception\, and the attempt to find inner peace amidst a tumultuous outer world. Musically\, Beam seeks to fuse together unorthodox pop melody with psychedelic sound textures & colorful instrumentation. 2016 opened with the release of Is Believed To Have Been\, a 9-song full-length studio album follow-up to 2012’s Be Your Own Mirror. \nJeff Beam has played with Spoon\, Nat Baldwin (Dirty Projectors)\, Eleanor Friedberger (Fiery Furnaces)\, Deer Tick\, Marco Benevento\, Sam Roberts Band\, Wintersleep\, Jefferson Starship\, White Hinterland\, and more.

SUMMARY:Community Event: Concert Across America to End Gun Violence

(Mike Weisser\, Huffington Post\, 8.23.16). \nOn Sept. 25\, 2016\, the Concert Across America to End Gun Violence will happen at over 150 sites across the country.

The concert will be introduced by Mayor Ethan Strimling\, with additional remarks by the mother of a gun murder victim\, Judi Richardson\, and Nick Wilson\, Executive Director of the Maine Gun Safety Coalition. \nThe event is co- sponsored by the Maine Gun Safety Coalition\, Maine Moms Demand Action\, Remembering Darien and the Friends of Congress Square Park. \nBig names are signing on to events in Brooklyn and LA including Jackson Browne\, Rosanne Cash\, Marc Cohn.
