SALEM — The Salem Community Church will host the Sandy River Ramblers on Sunday, Aug. 12, for a free concert of bluegrass, Gospel songs and hymns, and songs about Maine.
The performance will include a potluck lunch.
The concert begins at 2 p.m. Attendees are encouraged to bring a favorite dish to share. There will be no admission fee, but donations will be accepted.
Stan Keach, the bandleader and chief songwriter, says, “We’ve been doing quite a few shows in churches lately. We love singing Gospel songs and hymns, so we’re very excited to be doing this show.” Keach, a nationally known bluegrass songwriter, wrote or cowrote all the songs on the Ramblers’ CD, “Cry of the Loon and other original songs about Maine,” and some of those songs will be featured in the concert, he said.
The Ramblers also include Bud Godsoe, of Madrid, on banjo and lead singing by Keach, Julie Davenport and Dana Reynolds.
The church is at 1729 Salem Road, Route 142, next to the Salem Fire Department. For more information, call Stan at 207-397-2241 or Chris Bethune at 207-678-2771.
