Seagrass w/Melissa Bragdon Caron @ Sugarloaf

Seagrass is a high-energy all string band out of Southern Maine that specializes in multi-generational Americana. For the last 14 years we have brought our own brand of entertainment to appreciative audiences all over Southern and Central Maine. Seagrass delivers upbeat takes on many well-known favorites, featuring unique arrangements and solid harmonies. Our carefully curated set lists may include selections from every decade from the 60’s through today. We like to think we have something for everyone, and you might hear an original, The Vogues, Doobies, Eagles, The Dead, Avicii, Chris Stapleton or the Dead South. And of course, with a name like Seagrass, you can be sure that we will always include a few foot-stomping, traditional bluegrass tunes.

In 2011 Seagrass landed its first gig at a restaurant in Yarmouth called “Seagrass”. We had a nervous but fun first performance. The restaurant since closed and we decided the name was perfect for us and adopted it as our own. The name Seagrass is a fitting tribute to that first gig and our location on the beautiful coast of Maine. From the beginning we have had an unending list of songs that we learned to build our repertoire. Surprisingly many of these songs remain in the set list to this day. With each song, we developed interesting twists in the arrangements that make the songs unique.

In the early years, we mainly played at Greater Portland venues, and occasionally could be found busking down on Commercial Street. Now we find ourselves performing all over the State of Maine. In addition to gigs, we continue our weekly practices to learn new songs and refine our existing repertoire. As the years have rolled along we have refined our sound, gotten better at playing our respective instruments and increased the number of gigs.
