Blue
650 Congress St.
Portland, ME
No door charge, but your donations are appreciated.
In November, three of us - Carl on flutes and guitar, John on bass and Steve on clarinet and sax - once again had a chance to play with Maine's own master of Middle Eastern percussion, Eric LaPerna. It was so much fun for us (and the audience) we sought out a venue for that lineup to play more regularly. We're pleased to say that Blue, located right in the middle of Portland (650 Congress St.) and one of the Port City's premier spots for all kinds of music, offered us a monthly appearance.
