At the core of his initial calling was the desire to simply honor songs from the past - a waltz with bygone days that established him as sole curator of the museum of 20th century music. Over the course of his 30+ year, 15+ album career, the bard has continued his love affair with tunes from the turn-of-the-century (as in the second-to-last century), flapper-era radio ditties, Depression-spawned ragtime and World War II folk-jazz. Concert at 8 p.m. http://www.maine.info/cities/ogunquit/events.php#6454 43.242004 -70.600288 http://www.maine.info/cities/ogunquit/events.php#7522 Tret Fure continues to turn out marvelous albums, her latest being "True Compass" (Tomboy Girl). Who else could have written a love song such as "Look What Love Has Given Me"? It'' a song that is at once personal and universal in its affectionate expression of happiness. Fure keeps it coming in the jazzy flourishes of the title track, the acoustic twang of "Six Beers," the heartache of "32 Years," the political voice of "Try" and the rhythmic "Leap of Faith." Concert at 8 p.m. http://www.maine.info/cities/ogunquit/events.php#7522 43.242004 -70.600288 http://www.maine.info/cities/ogunquit/events.php#7904 Singer/Songwriter Jonathan Sarty covers a lot of ground with his hot new band as he promotes the new release of his own original songs, "This Road." A new voice in the seacoast music scene Jonathan has been developing his craft throughout New England for over a decade with his roots americana group the White Mountain Boys. Now he is stepping out with this very well recieved new project. The Jonathan Sarty band, a five piece group of great artists performing this compilation of rock, ballads, and Americana. Performance at 8 p.m. http://www.maine.info/cities/ogunquit/events.php#7904 43.242004 -70.600288 http://www.maine.info/cities/ogunquit/events.php#7906 According to the Boston Globe, "Kellogg's music is semi-gritty, melodic alt-country. Think early Wilco, Whiskeytown, or Tom Petty. Relaxed, yet passionate." Concert at 8 p.m. http://www.maine.info/cities/ogunquit/events.php#7906 43.242004 -70.600288 http://www.maine.info/cities/ogunquit/events.php#7523 George Winston at Jonathan's Ogunquit in a solo piano concert. His performance consists of pieces from his melodic seasonal recordings, Vince Guaraldi's Peanuts pieces, New Orleans R and B piano, stride piano, songs by The Doors and more, including pieces from his new CD, Love Will Come - The Music of Vince Guaraldi, Vol. 2. Concert at 8 p.m. http://www.maine.info/cities/ogunquit/events.php#7523 43.242004 -70.600288 http://www.maine.info/cities/ogunquit/events.php#7907 For over 30 years, Johnny Winter has been a guitar hero without equal. Signing to Columbia records in 1969, Johnny immediately laid out the blueprint for his fresh take on classic blues a prime combination for the legions of fans just discovering the blues via the likes of Jimmy Page and Eric Clapton. Constantly shifting between simple country blues in the vein of Robert Johnson, to all-out electric slide guitar blues-rock, - Johnny has always been one of the most respected singers and guitar players in rock and the clear link between British blues-rock and American Southern rock (a la the Allman Brothers and Lynyrd Skynyrd). Concert at 8 p.m. http://www.maine.info/cities/ogunquit/events.php#7907 43.242004 -70.600288 http://www.maine.info/cities/ogunquit/events.php#7193 Note: This event, originally scheduled Nov. 6, 2011, was postponed until April 12, 2012. Harmonies - if you had to describe the music of Girlyman in one word, this would be it. The story doesn't end there, of course: the band blends modern acoustic, americana, and folk-rock into a musical recipe The Village Voice has called "really good, really unexpected, and really different." The wide range of instruments - acoustic guitar, banjo, mandolin, djembe, electric baritone guitar - reflects an eclectic sound, and the band members switch off lead vocals and songwriting duties. Concert at 8 p.m. http://www.maine.info/cities/ogunquit/events.php#7193 43.242004 -70.600288 http://www.maine.info/cities/ogunquit/events.php#7524 "From her albums you can tell that she is a gifted songwriter with a beautiful voice. From other people's comments about her you can learn that she is a natural story teller with a fantastic sense of humor. But until you see her in person, you never really believe what you've been told about her. Besides, almost half of the songs she does during her shows haven't been recorded! Cheryl's songs are often emotional portraits of people, leaving you with the impression that you know the characters. You find yourself being dragged into the song rather than standing outside and observing. Other songs by Cheryl are hilarious situation comedies." Concert at 8 p.m. http://www.maine.info/cities/ogunquit/events.php#7524 43.242004 -70.600288 http://www.maine.info/cities/ogunquit/events.php#7908 Singer-songwriter Dan Hicks is truly an American original. Since the early 1960s, Hicks has deftly blended elements of Swing, Jazz, Folk and Country music to create the appealing sound he sometimes calls "Folk Jazz". The lyrics of his songs range from the simply sublime to the sublimely ridiculous, all presented with his uniquely skewed and inscrutable touch. Dan's irresistible sense of rhythm, hip lyrical styling, laid-back vocalizing, and infamous on-stage wit will make most who listen fans for life. He's a snappy dresser, too. Concert at 8 p.m. http://www.maine.info/cities/ogunquit/events.php#7908 43.242004 -70.600288 http://www.maine.info/cities/ogunquit/events.php#7525 Ronnie Earl is a two-time W.C. Handy Blues Award winner as Guitar Player of the Year. He has served as an Associate Professor of Guitar at Berklee College of Music, taught for five years at the National Guitar summer workshop in Connecticut. In 1995 Ronnie released Ronnie Earl: Blues Guitar with Soul, an instructional VHS tape that was then rereleased in DVD format in 2005. Earl's discography includes acclaimed albums on Stony Plain, Black Top, Bullseye Blues, Verve, and Telarc. His 1996 Bullseye Blues release, Grateful Heart: Blues and Ballads, won Downbeat's Blues Album of the Year, and in 2004 Earl's Hey Jose won the Best Blues/R and B Song at the 3rd Annual Independent Music Awards. Concert at 8 p.m. http://www.maine.info/cities/ogunquit/events.php#7525 43.242004 -70.600288 http://www.maine.info/cities/ogunquit/events.php#7909 Liebert's incredible global success on a musical level often seems like a simple outgrowth of his cultural background and powerful wanderlust in his formative years. Liebert has since become one of the most successful instrumental artists of the past decade, thrilling audiences throughout the world and releasing a catalog of classic recordings. Concert at 8 p.m. http://www.maine.info/cities/ogunquit/events.php#7909 43.242004 -70.600288 http://www.maine.info/cities/ogunquit/events.php#7526 Few singers have the staying power of folk icon, Judy Collins. For nearly 45 illustrious years, her dulcet tones have graced our ears, and her poetic lyrics have galvanized a generation. She has released more than 40 albums, has had numerous Top 10 hits, Grammy nominations and gold and platinum selling albums. Concert at 8 p.m. http://www.maine.info/cities/ogunquit/events.php#7526 43.242004 -70.600288 http://www.maine.info/cities/ogunquit/events.php#7911 J. Geils needs no introduction around these parts. Fresh from his reunion with the full J. Geils Band in August along with Aerosmith at Fenway Park, producer, writer, and sports car restoration expert J. Geils is a rockin' master of the blues. Known for several huge classic hits and a soulful approach to the blues, J has now been nominated for the Rock Hall of Fame. Team him up with Jeff Pitchell and Texas Flood and you have a show not to be missed. Jeff has been blistering the paint off the walls of most clubs in the New England area for some years now and he is one of the hottest guitar slingers on the circuit, drawing comparisons to Jimi Hendrix or Stevie Ray Vaughan. His CD, Heavy Hitter, reached #7 on the Billboard Charts. Along with Texas Flood they tear up a rich mix of R and B, Rock, Soul and funky Texas Blues. Also on the bill at the Bull is very special guest Gerry Beaudoin, who will add his own sassy guitar to the mix for a rare night of dance and frenzy. Together they will be playing some of the J. Geils Band hits as well as some of Jeff's songs and, of course, blues, blues, blues. Concert at 8 p.m. http://www.maine.info/cities/ogunquit/events.php#7911 43.242004 -70.600288 http://www.maine.info/cities/ogunquit/events.php#7910 Who are the great songwriters in America today? Not the most popular. Not the richest. Simply the greats. Ask any student of the form, and Janis Ian will be counted among them. The writer of "Jesse," a song recorded by so many others that few remember Ian wrote it; "Stars," possibly the best song ever written about the life of a performer, and the seminal "At Seventeen," a song that brought her five Grammy nominations in 1975. Ian is a formidable talent, a force of nature. Ella Fitzgerald called her "the best young singer in America." Chet Atkins said "Singer? You ought to hear that girl play guitar; she gives me a run for my money!" Reviewers have called her live performances "overwhelming to the spirit and soul," and "drenched with such passion, the audience feels they've been swept up in a hurricane." Performance at 8 p.m. http://www.maine.info/cities/ogunquit/events.php#7910 43.242004 -70.600288 http://www.maine.info/cities/ogunquit/events.php#7527 The word "legend" is often used to describe veteran folk/rocker Jonathan Edwards, whose 1971 million-selling song "Sunshine" brought him instant fame. He has recorded 15 albums, collaborated with artists like Emmylou Harris and Jimmy Buffett, and done theater, commercials, movie soundtracks, TV series narration, and record production. Back for another encore performance, Jonathan Edwards will charm your summer evening.
