Cape Neddick Lobster Pound

It's finally looking like Spring at least, if not Summer, so here's the latest news.

It's official: We're going to be back with the band to the Cape Neddick Lobster Pound after a 5 year Sabbatical. We start on Monday, June 25th, so mark your calendars! We'll be there every Monday through Labor Day with our great rhythm section: Per Hansen (who has played with James Cotton, Ronnie Earl, and too many others to mention) on drums, and Jon Ross (who's resume includes: Kim Wilson of the Thunderbirds, James Cotton, Duke Robillard, Monster Mike Welch, etc, etc.)on bass and guitar.

There has been a change in the schedule at MC Perkins cove. For those of you who were there yesterday (5/6) for the brunch you may have noticed that we weren't. We'll be there next Sunday (5/13) and then again on Sunday, May 27th for our last Brunch of the season. We will still be playing every Thursday until the end of May, but with a new start time. It's 8-11 now for all of you night owls! We will be continuing our Thursday gig for the summer, so Stay tuned for more information.

We also have some sad news to report. For those of you who were at Chicky's Fine Diner Friday night, you were witnessing the end of a great experiment. No one (including the staff) knew it until the end of the night, but Chicky told us he's closing his doors as of yesterday (5/6). It's a real shame because this place had a lot going for it and it's a sad commentary on the local music scene in general that not enough people came out to support this asset to the community on a regular basis. We can only hope that someone will try again to bring high quality musical acts to the Portland area at a reasonable price.
