NotesStill piping with steam after their debut CD release party at the end of last month, The Hot Suppers are bringing their energetic show to Searsmont on Saturday August 20 at 4pm. Part of the summer long Live Outside the Library concert series, this special event is scheduled to take place outdoors on the Searsmont Community Center lawn so bring a camp chair and a hat. The concert will be moved into the Community Hall in the event of inclement weather.
The Hot Suppers are composed entirely of musicians who call Waldo County home. They meld captivating original music with their favorite rock, blues, old country, and Americana tunes for a sound that is dynamic, harmonic, rhythmic and electric! Each member of the band lends strong lead and harmony vocals to the mix. You’ll hear Annadeene Fowler with Russ and Travis Lloyd on guitars, Tom Fowler on mandolin and baritone sax, Jeff Densmore lays a steady beat on an assortment of percussion, Sean Ociepka will hold the groove on bass while John Pranio ices the cake with country fiddle and bluesy harmonica.

VenueSkidompha Public Library
Address 184 Main St, Damariscotta, ME 04543
NotesNovel Jazz is returning to the Skidompha Public Library in Damariscotta for an evening of jazz on Friday, 26 August, 2022, from 7-9:30 PM. The band’s last performance at Skidompha was in November 2019, before the pandemic.
Novel Jazz will be presenting an evening of hot swinging jazz out of the Great American Songbook. The musicians of this group have been playing straight-ahead jazz for audiences throughout Maine (and beyond) for several decades. Collectively, they share over two centuries of experience in the jazz idiom. The musicians of Novel Jazz are Herb Maine (bass), Mickey Felder (piano), David Clark (Guitar), David Harris (alto), Bill Manning, Michael Mitchell (trumpet) and Barney Balch (trombone).
Novel Jazz events at Skidompha began with the observation that lovers of books often are lovers of jazz. The superb acoustics of Skidompha’s atrium, plus the seating “in the round”, make it a superior place to see and hear jazz, all in a relaxed, informal atmosphere. It was while performing at Skidompha some 18 years ago that the band began their unique focus on jazz giants, Duke Ellington and Billy Strayhorn, and just prior to the pandemic, they released their fourth CD on these two jazz icons.
Admission for this event is free of charge. We encourage parents to bring their children, the future of this art form. The library is located at 184 Main Street in downtown Damariscotta. Call 207-887-0919 during business hours for more information or, point your web browser to http://www.skidompha.org/ or the band’s web site www.mainejazz.net .
This promises to be a special Skidompha/Novel Jazz reunion evening as the band continues their 18th year of performances there. If you have never attended a Novel Jazz event at Skidompha, check them out on 26 August, 2022 and see why the Novel Jazz evenings at the library have been so popular for so long. Join NJS for some jazz on a summer’s eve, to lighten your soul and enjoy the last rhythms of your Maine summer!
