Jesse Pilgrim\\\’s (TRIAL & ERROR cd release) / Butcher Boy / Panda Bandits / Grant Street Orchestra

Jesse Pilgrim is born and raised in West Bath, Maine and he wouldn't have it any other way. He plays loud and proud folk music with his band The Bonfire and this is the debut release of his first full length album "Trial & Error." The Portland Phoenix writes, "Jesse Pilgrim's set sounded broadcast from Folsom Prison. Songs like these are fit for bold storytelling, and Pilgrim's clear, brassy pipes were a shiny and inclusive welcome." Opening the night are The Panda Bandits, led by Waisely "Scar" Lighthead and the bandit queen, Marie "Minnie" Pistola. Their gang steals songs, burns down stages, and cares nothing for money - they have come only for your soul. Also on the bill is Grant Street Orchestra. Born and raised in Parkside Portland, they are the most happenin' seven piece live hip hop act in town. Fusing funk and rock into an energetic set that'll make you want to move. Rounding out the night is Butcher Boy, a maniacal four-piece that smashes the current 'folkpunk' trend to smithereens with their absolutely ferocious live show and hyper-devoted approach to bastardizing American roots music. A Butcher Boy live show is equal parts rowdy lads' gang, hardcore sweat-lodge dancefest, and paranoid storytelling circle.
