This First Friday the art walk will be getting a dose of local stand-up comedy in an unconventional venue: the back of a truck. Portland Comedy Co-op, a collective of comedians performing together since 2013, will be bringing their sets outside of the dark bars and clubs usually frequented by stand-ups in the Maine comedy scene. […] 
Sufjan Stevens @ Merrill Auditorium 4.14.15 photo by Hannah Hays Death is the elephant in the room of our lives. It’s one of the few universal inevitabilities we all face in our world, and yet we pretend it doesn’t exist and choose to ignore its impact until we’re directly faced with it. The thought […] 
By Dylan Martin. Welcome to the first edition of Hilly Town’s Friday Roundup, as written by a recovering local music journalist who’s looking to get back into the game for some reason. So I’m a little out-of-touch, but I think this roundup can help give you an idea of what’s happened in the past week, between the daily posts by Kevin Steeves here and articles written elsewhere on the interwebs. […] Yes — the past few weeks have been filled with an onslaught of announcements of national acts coming to Portland (thanks to Lauren at the State Theatre and other bookers). Here are a few national acts coming to our city this spring and summer that we think you should checkout — unless it’s a sold-out show (looking at you, Neutral Milk Hotel). […] 
Lisa/Liza’s newest release The First Museum was released in November and is available on Bandcamp through Pretty Purgatory as both a physical and digital release. […] For this, the third installment of our collaboration with BTR Hear & There, we stopped by Lisa/Liza‘s apartment in the West End of Portland on a chilly, foggy day, for an intimate, solo performance of her song, “There In The Water.” The video is also available on YouTube. Upcoming tour dates: 2/14 @ Precinct […] Poor Kurt Baker, somebody stole his heart! 
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 […] 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 […] Funny timing… today official word came in that folks at KahBang (the Bangor music and arts festival happening August 5-13) will be bringing a summer concert series to the Maine State Pier from June to September. The group plans to make announcements including the lineup and ticket sales info in the upcoming weeks. Refresh your […] 
Last night, five songwriters participated in HillyTown Presents: An Evening Of Acoustic Music at Mayo Street Arts in Portland. Thank you so much to Blainor at Mayo Street and of course Marie Moreshead, D. Gross, Denise Dill, Nate Martinez, and Jacob Augustine for the excellent performances in what felt like the perfect setting for […] 
Normally I’d just post this elsewhere (like on my personal Tumblr) but since it’s in the middle of the Arts District and nearby so many Portland venues, it seems relevent. Today they removed the sign and fully shut down the L.L. Bean Outlet Portland. It’s quite a bit retail space – any guesses or […] Sad news in the Munjoy Hill live music, coffee, and good food world: North Star Music Cafe will be closing their doors for good this Sunday. The cafe asked for help from the community to keep their doors open earlier this year to much support, but it sounds like it just didn’t work out. The […] |
