The Sandy River Ramblers will present an outdoors bluegrass concert from 6-8 p.m. on Saturday, June 29, at the Washburn-Norlands Living History Center in Livermore.

The Sandy River Ramblers are a uniquely Maine-flavored bluegrass band; their most recent two CDs, “Cry of the Loon” and “Home in the Heart of Maine,” feature songs about Maine exclusively. Historic Maine events, Maine wildlife, and Maine humor all find their way into Rambler songs. Stan Keach, the band’s chief songwriter, is a nationally-known bluegrass songwriter, and an inducted member of the Maine Country Music Hall of Fame. The Ramblers also boast gorgeous three- and 4-part harmonies, and the lead vocals of Keach and bassist Julie Davenport, who Keach says is “the best bluegrass lead singer in Maine.” The stellar instrumental playing of banjoist Bud Godsoe, fiddler Brendan Hickey, and mandolinist Bobby St. Pierre are also prominently spotlighted.

This outdoor concert will be held in the yard of the main house. If it rains, it will move into the barn. Attendees are advised to bring lawn chairs or picnic blankets. Admission is free. Donations are welcome to support the Norlands summer program. The Washburn-Norlands Center, a beautiful Victorian estate maintained as a historical museum, working farm, and event site, is located at 290 Norlands Rd, Livermore. Norlands is a 301(c) non-profit organization. For more information, call Stan at (207) 485-0298 or Washburn-Norlands Living History Center (207) 897-4366.
