GoldenOak kicks off Old South Church concert series March 22

FARMINGTON — The Old South Church concert series kicks off the 2018 season at 7 p.m. Thursday, March 22, at the church, at 235 Main St., with the homegrown, brother-sister duo of GoldenOak.
Doors open at 6:30 p.m.

GoldenOak is an emerging sound in New England folk music. A Portland-based, indie-soul-folk, sibling duo, Zak and Lena Kendall were born and raised in the Sandy River Valley of Western Maine. The two started making music together as kids, and the bond of brother and sister is evident in their carefully crafted songs, poetic lyrics, and flowing harmonies. Influenced early by legends like Crosby, Stills, Nash, and Young, Simon and Garfunkel, and The Band, and by the likes of Mason Jennings, Ray LaMontagne, and Fleet Foxes, GoldenOak began writing music and performing in 2014.
The Kendalls record and often tour with fellow musicians and band mates, Seth Wegner (cello), Max Eddington (piano), and Jackson Cromwell (percussion).
Over the last two years, they shared the stage with many notable artists such as Lady Lamb, The Ghost of Paul Revere, The Mallett Brothers Band, and Parsonsfield. Find out more at www.goldenoakband.com As Mt. Blue High School graduates, the Kendalls are no strangers to the Western Maine music scene in this talent-rich area.
Refreshments will be available by donation at the intermission. For information about ticket prices and making reservations, call 207-491-5919. The venue is handicapped accessible.
