NORRIDGEWOCK — The Sandy River Ramblers, one of the most entertaining bands in Maine, will perform a concert of bluegrass music, with a distinctive Maine theme, Saturday, Oct. 14, at 7 p.m. at the Somerset Grange, constructed in 1866 and listed on the National Register of Historic Places.
This concert, like all of the band’s shows, will feature quite a few original songs about Maine topics, including some crowd favorites like “Cry of the Loon”; “Slow Down (You’ll Hit a Moose);” and “Boots From L.L. Bean.”
They will also play some great songs from the country and rock genres, a couple of gospel numbers, and some comedy, as well, including a masterful rendition on the musical hand saw.
The band features the virtuoso banjo and mandolin playing of Bud Godsoe and Dan Simons; the gorgeous lead and harmony singing of Julie Davenport; and the songwriting of Stan Keach.
Maine writer and Mt. Vernon resident George Smith has called the Ramblers’ “Cry of the Loon and other original songs about Maine” CD “a gift to Mainers.”
A couple of surprise guest performers remains a distinct possibility. Refreshments will be available for sale at intermission. Admission is $10 for adults (youth 16 and under, $5). For more information, call 207-397-2241.
