Northern Cross is a tribute to America’s first supergroup, Crosby, Stills, Nash and Young. Based in the northeastern U.S., Northern Cross straddles all the genres of popular music encompassed by the eclectic career of CSNY, from country rock to confessional ballads, from acoustic guitars and voice to electric rock and psychedelia, all centered around a perfect replication of the intricate vocal harmonies CSNY is most loved for.

Northern Cross are the standard bearers for the Woodstock counterculture in New England and beyond. With Northern Cross you will relive (or experience for the first time) the gripping emotions of a CSNY live performance, with all the tones and grooves, melodies and moments you would expect from the real thing.

Excited to announce Sweet Petunia will be opening for Billy Bragg's sold out show on June 22!

Mairead Guy (they/them) and Maddy Simpson (she/her) crossed paths while attending Berklee College of Music in 2018. Guy and Simpson struck up a conversation and realized they shared a love for Simon & Garfunkel and Gillian Welch & Dave Rawlings. After meeting up for casual jam sessions a couple of times, Simpson and Guy formed their own project, Sweet Petunia.

Since then, they have been nominated twice by the Boston Music Awards for Best Folk Act and have performed at music festivals including Between Days and Nice, a Fest. Sweet Petunia is now introducing themselves to a wider audience with their debut LP, Foggy Mountain Mental Breakdown, via Righteous Babe Records.

Foggy Mountain Mental Breakdown is a collection of songs written during a period of growing pains, reflecting on breakups, outgrown friendships, tumultuous cycles that needed to be broken, and self-discovery. Its title is a play on Flatt & Scruggs' classic bluegrass tune, as the album is an homage to the traditional folk that shaped the duo, while also drawing on their local punk and DIY scene to give it a contemporary twist.

Raise your voice and celebrate Pride with “WE ARE,” the powerful new concert from the Maine Gay Men’s Chorus on June 28 at The Waldo as part of Waldoboro Pride.

This uplifting program traces our journey—who we’ve been, who we are today, and the future we’re building together—through songs that inspire, affirm, and celebrate love and identity. This joyful concert promises laughter, reflection, and plenty of heart. Come celebrate Pride, community, and the music that brings us together.

The Maine Gay Men’s Chorus was established in 1992 and performed in Maine for twenty years. After a three-year hiatus, MGMC was reinvented and relaunched in January 2015.

Under the artistic direction of Nate Menifield, MGMC performs before enthusiastic audiences during the Pride Season in June and the Holiday Season in December. MGMC also performs at special events and functions upon request.

MGMC features talent from all around the great state of Maine. To call them singers would be to undersell this gifted group of people who, in their hearts and spirits, are true performers. Representing many walks of life, professions, and ages, MGMC is a diverse group of individuals whose performances move audiences to tears, laughter, and cheer.

Tickets are pay-what-you-can, with a suggested donation of $15.
A portion of all proceeds will be donated to OUT Maine.

DownEast New Music: By the Sea
July 19 4pm
https://our.show/downeast

Returning to The Waldo with the their fresh approach to classical, DownEast New Music presents By the Sea.

Built around two works that evoke landscapes, By the Sea shows how music creates connections between people and places, bridging the tangible and the intangible. With stunning virtuosity, kaleidoscopic color, and soaring lines, this program transports the listener to places real and imagined.

Pulitzer-winner Kevin Puts’s mixed septet Seven Seascapes depicts seven versions of the mercurial ocean, inspired by quotes from writers including Virgina Woolf, Douglas Adams, and Emily Dickinson.

In The Companion Guide to Rome, Andrew Norman paints a musical picture of the man-made, using a string trio to take the audience on a tour of Rome, visiting nine storied churches in the Eternal City.

Searsmont-based Robert Sirota also calls on the past in his Elegy to a Lost World as he recalls the lost idealism of youth. Written for his son for a set of elegiac pieces for viola, Sirota uses the viola’s full expressive range as he remembers a past that may never have been real.

Paul Lansky and Emily Praetorius craft their pieces out of the techniques and abilities of specific instruments, building a bridge between the performer, the instrument, and the soundworld. Written for horn, violin, and piano, Etudes and Parodies uses idiomatic gestures for horn as the seed for each movement, drawing upon Lansky’s lived experience as a horn player performing in chamber settings. In Sans Serif, Emily Praetorius imagines how to bring the flute and cello closer together, despite their differences as instruments.

In this sonic journey across the sea, the listener will experience a wide range of high-flying emotions before returning to a comforting place “where waves are kind.”
