music

What started out as the brain child of one of northern Maine's most prolific and recognizable singer/songwriter's has turned into an event that draws more and more musicians and music lovers from all over the state, the country, and Canada. It's hard to believe Travis Cyr got the ball rolling for the Arootsakoostik Music Festival 8 years ago.

A band of tiny flying robots playing the Star Spangled Banner is not exactly Jimi Hendrix, but it's pretty amazing just the same.

On this week's podcast, comic strip artist/writer Shawn Cote stops by to talk about his web comic 'Jillpoke Bohemia' and I have some fantastic tunes from New Brunswick's Penny Blacks.

I had the fantastic opportunity to speak with Jordan LaFaver of 'Diary of Snow'. Jordan is originally from Presque Isle, Maine and has recently moved to Atlanta, Georgia to pursue his music career.

I love country music. Let's get that out of the way right now. Like any form of art, especially commercial art that is designed to turn a profit, there is the attitude that success breeds copycats which breeds mediocrity which means bad things for the genre. A new video put together for YouTube illustrates this 'bandwagon' mentality in all its glory.

This week I'm happy to bring you an interview and music from a very awesome local band (and couple) out of Presque Isle, Crunk Witch!

Welcome to the Townsquare Media Presque Isle Podcast! A while back I hosted a weekly podcast featuring local artists from the County and thought why not bring it back.

On this Veteran's Day I thought I should share information on an incredible organization. As a songwriter myself, there is no more rewarding experience than to know that something you have written has had an impact.  The organization 'Songwriting With: Soldiers' is affecting the lives of our soldiers in a profoundly positive way.

You ever meet one of those kids who can't help but sing all day, every day? Well an 8th grader from Washburn is trying to accomplish something with her singing habit.

Here's a list of what's happening during September's First Friday Art Walk in Presque Isle.
