Southern Maine's premier classic-jam-rock band! (as far as we know)
Specializing in the music of the Grateful Dead, and performing other favorites from the good old days.
Come see us at The Big Easy, every Thursday night!
Market St, Portland Maine
Well it's been far too long since this has been updated, so you know, business as usual. Richard Corson departed from ABBD to pursue other pastures, and we all know that, whatever he does, will be awesome. We've been inviting lots of local, talented guitar players to join us play and improvise with us over these timeless American songs, and are having tons of fun with them! Anyhoo, We're glad to keep on keekin' on. We started up at the Big Easy after 2 months off, so our bi-monthly, weekly count starts again at 26!! We have a long way to go to match our record of over 250 weeks at the Alehouse, that buggy blurry sometimes aromatically regrettable but otherwise generally charming old place that we still miss.
We'll be playing Buck's Naked bbq in Freeport the third Friday of every month, pretty much indefinitely.
We've been back at Brian Boru's on and off and hope to have some more gigs coming up there this sring and summer
Oh and by the way, We're available! Book us for your next party, wedding, or spontaneous occasion! Contact info is on the band website.
"Be Here Now" Festival Scheduled for Starks, ME, August 14-16
Starks, Maine -- The hill at Harry Brown's Farm will come ALIVE
with music, giant puppets, belly dancing, and fire twirling three days during tie "Be Here Now" Festival this August.
Organizers hope to build on the success of “Harry Hoe-Down,” the first festival held on the site this season, where thousands of people braved the late June rains to bring to life Harry Brown's vision of “free people assembling freely.” An icon of Maine's counter-culture, Brown has been hosting festivals on his land for nineteen years to support efforts to legalize marijuana in Maine.
We've posted some tunes from our 5/23/09 gig on our Facebook profile. We're even letting you download it for nothing for the next couple of days. Why don't you check it out and become a fan of the band if you're on the Facebook (and who isn't really?)
Here's a listen to what you might hear (the link is a player NOT a spam site.)
