We already know about a healthy dose of live music action on Portland’s waterfront, but up in Bangor (about 2 hours away), the summer is even more packed with waterfront shows. Besides KahBang and the American Folk Festival, Waterfront Concerts has a whole series of events happening on their temporary stage, starting this weekend. […] 
On Monday I stopped by the grand opening of a new food vendor in the Public Market House in Monument Square right in the heart of downtown Portland. Deux Cochon is – and I need to breathe a sigh of relief every time I say this – an amazing BBQ joint. Yes, in Maine. Last […] 
Coming out in May as a dual-cassette, Electric Temple Presents: Gaman – A Ceremony for Japan, is 24 tracks of ambiance, noise, psych, lo-fi bedroom garage pop, and everything in between, with proceeds going to Shelterbox, who are working to provide emergency shelter and essential supplies to families impacted by disasters. Portland’s own Herbcraft […] 
On a night packed with great shows around town (and in Biddeford!) we headed out to One Longfellow Square for our first time working with the venue that we’ve tend to think of as one of the classier performance spaces in Portland on Saturday night. Recent Kill Rock Stars signees Milagres were the headliner, […] 
Before I even get to this, congrats to Nick F. who won a pair of tickets to the next 4 HillyTown Presents shows (the prize was given away at our One Longfellow Square show on Saturday). Moving right along to the next one, we have a pair of tickets to the Belfast Free Range […] 
Once again, Maine rapper Spose brought his party to Port City Music Hall. The PDank Presents show also featured Cam Groves (who was the other half of the team behind the free 4/20 release We Smoked It All 2) and Educated Advocates. Read on for a full gallery from the gig by David Zwickerhill! […] 
Now THIS is the kind of festival I want to see! For its third year, Bangor’s KahBang Festival really seems to be finding a good niche. They’ve been flirting with indie rock, hip hop, and crowd-friendly rock bands, (all while finding a great audience for one of our favorites, The Gay Blades, who […] 
What more can we say at this point? Come to the show tonight! Tickets available at the door. $10. All ages. Here’s a little bonus incentive to come (as if three incredible bands at a beautiful venue isn’t enough): tonight at the show we’ll be announcing two more HillyTown Presents events PLUS giving away […] 
Our friends at MENSK have put together a full day of Earth Day celebration in Monument Square. If you’re looking for music, MAMM will be providing live music beginning at noon, followed by speakers and other performances through the day. Looking for something a bit more on the nighttime side of things? You […] 
It’s been difficult keeping this one quiet in the weeks I’ve been putting it together, so I’m excited to finally share the Free Range Festival 2011 Sampler, compiled by HillyTown with the help of the Free Range Fest organizers and participating artists. This 15-track album represents many of the artists playing the April 30 […] 
Were you at the sold out Iron & Wine show at the State Theatre tonight? As predicted, they did make a limited number of tickets available at the last minute, so hopefully everybody who wanted to get in to see it was able to! HillyTown photographer David Zwickerhill was there to capture these […] 
As you know, local trio The Milkman’s Union are playing our HillyTown Presents show this weekend. The band has been hyperactive lately, unveiling a new EP and temporarily streaming a single (with guest appearance by Lady Lamb The Beekeeper) for fans in the past weeks. Here’s another treat from the band: a HillyTown exclusive video, […] Portland mind-expanding experimentalists Planets Around The Sun just unveiled the hypnotic new video for “Water Dub” that they’ve been hanging onto for a minute, so now we can all enjoy it. This isn’t some fancy filter on the video – it was shot this way. The band’s Ian Paige filmed “Water Dub” at the […] 
This is huge news for the Portland rock club: Port City Music Hall (which recently expanded it’s seated area and added a kitchen) will no longer be limited to 21+ age restrictions. Now the club will be open to an 18+ crowd for all shows (unless otherwise noted). Read more about this announcement here. […] 
This Monday, April 18, Iron & Wine plays a sold out show at The State Theatre in Portland. The first thing you’ll notice about Iron & Wine‘s latest, Kiss Each Other Clean (Warner Bros. Records), is that it somehow has a very different feel from Sam Beam’s previous releases. No, this isn’t a case […] |
