Friday | May 31 | 6-8 pm: LIVE MUSIC / TAPROOM ~ GOLDEN OAK
With harmonies derived only from the genetic intricacies of a brother-sister duo, Zak and Lena Kendall have evolved from homespun, family-oriented folk music to deliver roots-revival-styled sophistication for a hyper-conscious generation. The Kendalls, beloved within their quickly expanding fandom as GoldenOak, were raised in part by the western Maine landscape.
Golden Oak began as two children playing around backyard bonfires and was more firmly established with their 2016 debut, Pleasant St. In response to their coming-of-age chronicle, Dispatch Magazine coined the duo "one of Portland's most important upcoming bands." As purveyors of age-old tradition sharing contemporary messaging, the pair has landed spots on stage with Lady Lamb, The Dustbowl Revival, The Ghost of Paul Revere, and The Mallett Brothers Band.
Saturday | June 8 | 6-8 pm: LIVE MUSIC / TAPROOM ~ SARA JONES QUARTET

Saturday | June 21 | 6-8 pm: LIVE MUSIC / TAPROOM ~ OWEN HOWES
Owen Howes is a skilled and devoted songwriter. He works hard to find hope inside of heartbreak, a ribbon of shade at high noon, an eddy of thought to drift on. He was a recent finalist in the Maine Songwriters Association’s contest and received an honorable mention from American Songwriter in the spring of 2023 for his song “Silver Spruce.”
This winter, he began bringing fresh tunes to an excellent group of musicians: Elliot Boyd on drums, Johnny Burgess on bass, and Jack Carroll on electric guitar. Together, they have created a bluesy folk sound with a smoldering rhythm section, impactful lyrics, and high-flying guitar parts.
