Legendary Dobro player Junior Barber convinced his cousins, Tom and Julie, to make the switch from playing traditional country music in clubs to playing bluegrass oriented material at festivals around the Northeast. The main focus of the group was the sibling vocal harmony of Tom and Julie and Junior’s unique stylist approach to playing resonator guitar. Although not a traditionally structured bluegrass group, the trio gained acceptance and a solid fan base at festivals throughout the Eastern US and in Canada from Calgary to PEI.\nWhen illness forced Junior to retire in June of 2013, we added a banjo and fiddle to Beartracks, giving us a much more traditional sound. We have had some changes in musicians over the years. I am finding out that this is fairly normal in the bluegrass world. We grew up playing in a family band with our dad, mom, and brother, so we were used to a continuity of players. However, we have been fortunate to have some very skilled musicians work with us and have found, as Junior told us a long time ago, that as long as we (Julie and Tom) are together, the backbone of Beartracks remains the same.\nSince our inception in 2004, we have recorded six albums. Our music is available on CD Baby, I-Tunes, Rhapsody and Spotify. Our repertoire includes traditional bluegrass songs, classic country with a bluegrass twist and originals.\n URL:https://www.mainebluegrass.org/events/bear-tracks-bluegrass-band/ CATEGORIES:Event LOCATION:851 North Dexter Rd (Rt 23), North Dexter ATTACH;FMTTYPE=image/jpeg:https://i0.wp.com/www.mainebluegrass.org/wp-content/uploads/2025/06/bear-tracks.jpg?fit=1438%2C1484&ssl=1 END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT CLASS:PUBLIC UID:MEC-0f541eccc4dc49cc19da7ca4594fad27@mainebluegrass.org DTSTART;TZID=America/New_York:20250604T100000 DTEND;TZID=America/New_York:20250604T150000 DTSTAMP:20250521T164557Z RRULE:FREQ=MONTHLY;WKST=SU;BYDAY=1WE,3WE CREATED:20250521 LAST-MODIFIED:20260329 PRIORITY:5 SEQUENCE:1 TRANSP:OPAQUE SUMMARY:Maine Country Music Hall of Fame & Museum Open House DESCRIPTION:The Maine Country Music Hall of Fame & Museum is open the to the public for visits and tours, every 1st and 3rd Wednesday of the month effective immediately.

Their newest record, Low It Goes, captures the free-wheeling intensity of those live shows and showcases the cathartic, irreverent songwriting that has won them fans all over the country. As songwriter Eugene Gardner says, “You learn a lot about yourself as a band when you’re playing 3 hours a night, and it’s forced us to step up our game in a way that I’m really proud of.” Sharing stages with bands like Billy Strings, the Kitchen Dwellers, Driftwood, and the Mountain Grass Unit, ETB has carved out a unique voice in the bluegrass scene, with cutting, often humorous songs, and a fast & loose approach that calls back to influences like the Clash and Drive-By Truckers.\nAlive in the Root is a roots band from southern Maine that performs original music – a mix of bluegrass, folk, blues, jazz – and covers. AITR focuses on vocal harmonies and eclectic instrumental arrangements with guitars, mandolin, upright bass, and three-part harmonies.  And shenanigans.\n \n21+\nDoors @ 6PM\nAlive In The Root @ 7PM\nEugene Tyler Band @ 9PM\n \nThis event is donation based, bring cash to tip the musicians!\n URL:https://www.mainebluegrass.org/events/alive-in-the-root-eugene-tyler-band-live-at-bpm/ CATEGORIES:Event END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT CLASS:PUBLIC UID:MEC-eefc7bfe8fd6e2c8c01aa6ca7b1aab1a@mainebluegrass.org DTSTART;TZID=America/New_York:20241109T190000 DTEND;TZID=America/New_York:20241109T203000 DTSTAMP:20241021T114354Z CREATED:20241021 LAST-MODIFIED:20260329 PRIORITY:5 SEQUENCE:1 TRANSP:OPAQUE SUMMARY:An Evening with Joe K.

Enjoy the onsite food and drink, or pack a snack for a memorable afternoon! After the music concludes the train will return you back to Sheepscot.\nTicket price includes the steam train ride, concert admission (general seating on benches, or bring your own chair) as well as parking at Sheepscot. Note that passengers requiring extra assistance may have difficulty navigating the platforms and stairs at Alna Center. Well-behaved dogs are allowed at the discretion of the Conductor.\nTrains for Music on the Railway depart Sheepscot station (97 Cross Road, Alna) promptly at 2pm and return by 4:45pm.\nMusic on the Railway concerts are held rain or shine under the WW&F’s unique pavilion nestled in the trees at Alna Center.\nWe look forward to seeing you on the narrow gauge!\nJuly 14th: Breakin’ Strings ( https://fareharbor.com/embeds/book/wwfry/items/320918/availability/1373322865/book/?full-items=yes )\nBreakin’ Strings is a Nashville recording group based out of Maine and Vermont. The band consists of 5 members who play a cross between traditional bluegrass with some major jam-grass vibes.\nCliff Gelina, the leader and lead vocalist has been compared to the sounds of Chris Stapleton. Cody Howe has been compared to the guitar licks of Tony Rice. Sam Acus is a Mandolin protégé that rips his fretboard up at every show. They play every note they feel, and feel every note they play. This band brings so much dynamics with the sets they play and such great original tunes. Amanda Gelina plays bass and also sings lead and harmony. Steven Peterson plays banjo and also sings harmony as well.\nBreakin’ Strings was an IBMA Showcase band in 2022. They have been featured in The Bluegrass Unlimited Magazine, The Bluegrass Standard, Nashville Voyager Magazine etc. They recorded their first album in Studio A in Blackbird Studios in Nashville, TN. Titled, “Hangovers & Heartaches” available everywhere online.  A Breakin’ Strings show is not a show to miss. Guaranteed at some point you will see them break a string. Breakin’ Strings brings a fun jam-packed flavor to bluegrass music with great instrumentals, Great vocals, great harmonies, and a hard drive Bluegrass sound. With that being said, when they play a ballad, you are frozen in your seat in awe. This band is dynamic!\nNote: Be sure to get your tickets for Breakin’ Strings well in advance – we anticipate a sell-out crowd!\n \n\nAbout Music on the Railway Concerts\nEach Music on the Railway concert features a unique combination of Maine’s history, trains, and music. Guests depart promptly at 2:00pm from the WW&F Railway Museum (97 Cross Road, Alna, Maine) for a 10-15 minute jaunt on a historic narrow gauge steam train to another station on the line, Alna Center. Alna Center is a secluded spot which is not (generally) accessible by automobile but features a large event pavilion with bench seating under which the concert takes place. (Some passengers elect to bring their own lawn chairs.) The train then disappears into the distance leaving guests with the music and whatever other special surprises may be present (such as a food truck, lawn games in the adjacent field, etc.) Around time for intermission, the steam train chugs back into the station, which allows visitors to get up close to the locomotive if they so wish while the band takes a break to interact with the crowd. Once the concert concludes (usually around 4:30pm) the Conductor cries “All Aboard!” and everyone returns to the main museum campus where the displays, railroad yard and gift shop are typically still open for anyone who chooses to peruse them. Railroad buffs (or just those curious) are welcome to watch the crews as they turn the locomotive on the turntable, put the day’s railroad cars back into their homes, and “dump the fire”.\nCaboose Adventure\nRide to the Music on the Railway concert in your very own caboose! Bring your family (or small group) for unique experience on the narrow gauge railroad. Your group (of up to 15 people) gets exclusive access to the “little red caboose” on the WW&F railway during the trip to and from the concert at Alna Center. And yes, you can ride “up top” in the cupola (although adults will need to watch their heads!) Cost is $265 (which includes admission to the concert and being seated completely separately from other passengers during the train ride.)\nWeather and Cancellations\nEach Music on the Railway Concert will run rain or shine – and is held under our spacious outdoor event pavilion (please dress accordingly.) If extreme weather is predicted, all passengers will be notified via email or phone, and given the option to reschedule or receive a full refund.

Additionally, Douglas is a freewheeling, forward-thinking recording and touring artist whose output incorporates elements of country, bluegrass, rock, jazz, blues, and Celtic into his distinctive musical vision. Called “Dobro’s matchless contemporary master” by The New York Times, three-time CMA Musician of the Year award recipient Jerry Douglas is one of the most innovative recording artists in music as a solo artist, band leader for The Jerry Douglas Band and his GRAMMY winning bluegrass band The Earls of Leicester, as well as a member of groundbreaking ensembles including Alison Krauss & Union Station, J.D. Crowe & the New South, The Country Gentlemen, Boone Creek, and Strength In Numbers. Douglas shines and soars. His distinctive sound graces more than 1500 albums with artists such as Garth Brooks, George Jones, Paul Simon, Little Big Town, James Taylor, Emmylou Harris, Elvis Costello, Earl Scruggs, Ray Charles, Dierks Bentley, and Tommy Emmanuel, among many others. As Jerry Douglas continues his incalculable influence on country, Americana, bluegrass and their many related genres, he forges ahead as a true pioneer in American music. We welcome this master of the stage back to our stage this summer.\n URL:https://www.mainebluegrass.org/events/the-jerry-douglas-band-the-boothbay-opera-house/ CATEGORIES:Event LOCATION:86 Townsend Ave Boothbay Harbor, ME 04538 ATTACH;FMTTYPE=image/jpeg:https://i0.wp.com/www.mainebluegrass.org/wp-content/uploads/2024/03/jerry-douglas-band.jpg?fit=1024%2C683&ssl=1 END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT CLASS:PUBLIC UID:MEC-b3d6e130a30b176f2ca5af7d1e73953f@mainebluegrass.org DTSTART;TZID=America/New_York:20240504T193000 DTEND;TZID=America/New_York:20240504T213000 DTSTAMP:20240322T122827Z CREATED:20240322 LAST-MODIFIED:20260329 PRIORITY:5 SEQUENCE:1 TRANSP:OPAQUE SUMMARY:Barnstar! @ The Boothbay Opera House DESCRIPTION:Barnstar! began as the brainchild of Zachariah Hickman (bassist for Josh Ritter, musical director for Ray Lamontagne) for a local bluegrass supergroup featuring some of Boston’s best musicians and songwriters. Using the familiar tools of the genre—guitar (Mark Erelli), fiddle (Jake Armerding), mandolin (Taylor Armerding) and banjo (Charlie Rose)—Barnstar! Has forged its own brand of song- based bluegrass, gloriously harmonized and raucously played. The band debuted in 2011 with C’mon!, a mix of distinctive originals and unexpected covers (Neil Young, Dawes, The Traveling Wilburys) cut live in the studio. Despite juggling various high-profile sideman gigs behind other artists, the lads in Barnstar! managed to cause quite a stir with relatively few appearances. Whether playing above 10,000 feet in the Colorado mountains, dressing up like pirates on a boat cruising around Boston Harbor, or starting a small skirmish over the last CD in Shrewsbury, England – shouts of “C’mon!” followed the band everywhere they went, and still do.\n URL:https://www.mainebluegrass.org/events/barnstar-the-boothbay-opera-house/ CATEGORIES:Event LOCATION:86 Townsend Ave Boothbay Harbor, ME 04538 ATTACH;FMTTYPE=image/jpeg:https://i0.wp.com/www.mainebluegrass.org/wp-content/uploads/2024/03/Barnstar2024PressPhoto1-color.jpeg?fit=1000%2C667&ssl=1 END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT CLASS:PUBLIC UID:MEC-9b0ead00a217ea2c12e06a72eec4923f@mainebluegrass.org DTSTART;TZID=America/New_York:20240503T193000 DTEND;TZID=America/New_York:20240503T213000 DTSTAMP:20240320T074738Z CREATED:20240320 LAST-MODIFIED:20260329 PRIORITY:5 SEQUENCE:1 TRANSP:OPAQUE SUMMARY:Tony Trischka @ The Boothbay Opera House DESCRIPTION:“Tony Trischka is known as the father of modern bluegrass” says the New York Times. He is considered the consummate banjo artist and perhaps the most influential banjo player in the roots music world. For more than 50 years, his stylings have inspired a whole generation of bluegrass and acoustic musicians with the many voices he has brought to the instrument. Tonight Tony will be honoring the music of Earl Scruggs, pioneer of the three-finger banjo style and one of the most important musicians in bluegrass, or, in Tony’s opinion, in any genre. Trischka recently came into possession of extremely rare recordings of jam sessions with Scruggs and John Hartford, and he’s transcribed and recorded Scruggs’s note-for-note solos from a number of these.

These guys are some of Maine’s finest guitar pickers of all time. Coming together on one stage for a Live performance, you will not want to miss them singing and playing in the round! Join us for an evening of guitar picking with guitar virtuosos Denny Breau, Sean Mencher, Peter Albert and Hugh Bowden.\nDenny Breau\nDenny is a triple threat: a consummate picker, evocative songwriter, and a singer with a voice that is warm and inviting but completely unpretentious— much like the singer himself, according to Lucky Clark, Kennebec Journal. Breau, whose family is music royalty in the state – his parents were country music singers who recorded for RCA Victor, his late brother Lenny, a renowned jazz guitarist; Denny himself started performing in his teens and was inducted into the Maine Country Music Hall of Fame in 2004. Denny Breau’s rhythmically flawless and dazzlingly clear style allows him to do amazing and stunning things with a six-string guitar. He mixes genres with ease — folk, Delta blues, country and jazz — “creating a totally accessible musical mélange that captivates as it entertains – Lucky Clark.\nSean Mencher\nSean Mencher is, hands down, one of the finest guitarists ever to call Maine home, Chris Busby wrote in The Bollard in his review of Mencher’s latest album. Despite his towering talent, he’s also one of the most humble and gracious souls I’ve ever met, and yeah, that makes a difference.\nWith his style, a mix of Merle Travis and Scotty Moore with some jazz thrown in for good measure, and with his sure taste he gained a well-deserved reputation on the scene. He also played with Wayne Hancock and Dig Wayne (Buzz and the Flyers) and with his deep knowledge of Rockabilly and other related genres, he also produced bands like Croonin’ Kurt, the Gin Palace Jesters, the Starline Rhythm Boys and the Twilite Ranchers.\nPeter Albert\nPeter Albert, is lifelong resident of Maine, he is an accomplished musician with over 30 years of experience as a solo guitarist. Starting in the 60’s playing covers by the Beatles, Stones, Byrds, and Dylan gradually finding his way to the blues. Peter put together his first blues band in 1969 called Homemade Blues. “There was a lot of spontaneity in that band, every night was a jam, we were the only band around at the time that just went up on stage and let the music take over.” It was in the early seventies when Peter heard a friend play classical guitar “I was completely in awe, having been totally ear taught, seeing this structured, disciplined way made me realize how limited my knowledge was.” For the next 10 years Peter tuned out practically everything else and focused on the classical guitar. “I still took gigs with bands here and there but my heart was in the classical style”. Peter studied classical guitar with John McLaren and the late Walter Spaulding (University of Maine,) also participated in a master class given by Cuban virtuoso guitarist Rey de la Torre. Eventually, Peter expanded the classical technique he had learned to the steel string acoustic, giving him a method of staying creative by writing his own instrumental compositions. Other important influences include John Fahey, Leo Kottke, Adrian Legg, Michael Hedges, Kenny Burrell, Pat Martino, Julian Bream, Ravi Shankar. He performs live throughout Maine, New Hampshire, and Massachusetts, and has opened many shows for national acts.\nHugh Bowdon\nAs a youth in rural Maine, Hugh Bowden taught himself to play the guitar after becoming captivated by the music of legendary guitarist Chet Atkins. Bowden, who now lives in Ellsworth, has performed widely throughout Maine and beyond for several decades, both as a solo fingerstyle guitarist and singer and as a member of several small musical groups, in various styles of music. In recent years, he has concentrated primarily on instrumental jazz and while creating a substantial library of his own musical compositions, both vocal and instrumental.\n URL:https://www.mainebluegrass.org/events/maine-finger-picking-good-guitar-with-denny-breau-sean-mencher-peter-albert-and-hugh-bowden/ CATEGORIES:Event LOCATION:76 Congress St, Portland, ME 04101 ATTACH;FMTTYPE=image/png:https://i0.wp.com/www.mainebluegrass.org/wp-content/uploads/2023/04/851E57F0-FA2D-49F5-BC26-A3B9AA52922E-Deirdre-Nice.png?fit=1200%2C628&ssl=1 END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT CLASS:PUBLIC UID:MEC-57db7d68d5335b52d5153a4e01adaa6b@mainebluegrass.org DTSTART;TZID=America/New_York:20230417T190000 DTEND;TZID=America/New_York:20230417T210000 DTSTAMP:20230418T134846Z CREATED:20230418 LAST-MODIFIED:20260329 PRIORITY:5 SEQUENCE:1 TRANSP:OPAQUE SUMMARY:Heavy Nettles DESCRIPTION:Heavy Nettles – Fiery, smokin’ hot Bluegrass\nHeavy Nettles – a fiery, smokin’ hot bluegrass trio based out of Vermont.

With as many as 50 cars on display, an “open jam” of bluegrass music, and food by Grandpa’s Kitchen, this Midcoast gathering will be sure to please!\nOur friends at Owl’s Head Transportation Museum have selected the WW&F as the destination for their spring rally. We expect up to 50 cars of all types to be gathered and displayed at the railway from 11:30am to 2:00pm.\nMeanwhile, our friends at the Bluegrass Music Association of Maine have “picked” the WW&F for their Jam and Meet Up. The best bluegrass musicians will be pick-nicing alongside the historic automobiles and along (and maybe aboard) the WW&F steam train.\nA VERY LIMITED number of tickets ( https://fareharbor.com/embeds/book/wwfry/items/370199/?full-items=yes&flow=420374 ) to this exclusive collision (oomph, maybe not the best word) of music and motoring are available to visitors of the WW&F Railway. Trains will linger at the picnic site to allow everyone to enjoy the music and automobiles.\nAnd what would a picnic be without food? We’ve invited Grandpa’s Specialty Smoked Meats to set up his kitchen right at the picnic grounds.\nTrains leave Sheepscot Station (97 Cross Road, Alna, Maine) hourly from 10am to 3pm. Note that most automobiles will only be present from 11:30am to 2pm, and musicians will be coming and going as they please. (Hey, they are musicians, after all.)\nThis is an exclusive event that you will not want to miss.\nBuy Tickets\n \n\nAbout Owl’s Head Transportation Museum\nOwl’s Head Transportation Museum ( https://owlshead.org/ ) collects, preserves, exhibits and operates pre-1940 aircraft, ground vehicles, engines and related technologies significant to the evolution of transportation for the purpose of education. Visit them year-round in Owl’s Head, Maine.\nAbout the Bluegrass Music Association of Maine\nThe Bluegrass Music Association of Maine ( http://www.mainebluegrass.org/ ) is dedicated to supporting bluegrass music in Maine by preserving, promoting and maintaining the integrity and roots of this great Acoustic string band music called Bluegrass. Bluegrass is recognized as a unique musical form, a music in which singers accompany themselves with acoustic instruments, bringing together amateur and professional musicians as well as devoted fans. BMAM was formed out of the love for bluegrass music and to promote local Maine bands.\nAbout Grandpa’s Kitchen\nGrandpa’s Specialty Smoked Meats ( https://www.facebook.com/grandpassmokedmeats ) are done the old fashioned way. Some products are handcrafted over 3 weeks from start to finish – including their famous hand-stuffed sausages. Meats are smoked anywhere from 2-14 hours. Grandpa’s meats are shipped all over the world from their facility in Pittsfield, Maine.\nWhile menu items for this event are subject to change, choices typically include smoked chicken, steak dogs, and homemade stuffed sausages. And bacon; real bacon. Vegetarian options should be requested in advance.\nAbout the Wiscasset, Waterville and Farmington Railway\nRide over the Sheepscot Valley’s Narrow Gauge Railway ( https://www.wwfry.org/ ) aboard a historic steam train for a trip back in time. Explore the facilities and workshops where exploration is encouraged and inquisitiveness is rewarded. Experience the nearly-lost art of running and maintaining a steam powered narrow gauge railroad.\n\nPasses, Vouchers and Discounts\nWe will be pleased to honor passes and vouchers to be redeemed as the fare to Bluegrass, Steam, and Gasoline.
