Address40 Westland Ave., Portland, ME
NotesPlease join us at The Italian Heritage Center on Saturday April 15th from 7 -11 for a fun night of Live Music, Dancing, Socializing, and the opportunity to go home with a few Amazing Auction Items.
The Legendary Maine Blues Band Bonnie Edwards and The Practical Cats are donating their blend of Up-Tempo Swing and Classic Blues music for your Listening and Dancing pleasure.
Pete has shared the stage with many local acts including Sweet and Savage, Straight Lace, Never The Less, and Kahtunes. He may be best known for his 6 ½ year stint in the mid 90’s hosting Open Mic with Pete Gleason every Tuesday night at Spring Point Café in South Portland.
With his positive attitude and passion to play, We’re hoping to have Pete, along with some of his former band mates, take the stage and play some of their Rock N Roll Classics. Oh to be able to hear his voice once again!
Sadly, Pete has been diagnosed with Terminal Pancreatic Cancer and his Doctors have given him a 12 month window to get his final arrangements in order. Surgery, Chemo and other treatments have wiped him out both Physically and Financially.
This Fundraising event will go a long way towards helping Pete settle some of his debt and with your support allow him to ease the burden on his family and pay for his final expenses.
This event will also provide an opportunity for those who love and care for Pete to share their stories and adventures from over the years and to celebrate his life while he’s here with us to join in on the fun!
GET YOUR TICKETS TODAY AND WE’LL SEE YOU THERE!

NotesBlues on Sunday” was launched in 2022 as a monthly Sunday afternoon residency at Cadenza in Freeport, ME, with the goal of presenting classic blues covers and original material in a traditional vein that features special guests each month. The core Blues on Sunday Quartet features all-star players from the Seacoast region.
Drummer Per Hanson, original drummer with Ronnie Earl and the Broadcasters has laid down the beat, on stage and on record, with a Who’s Who of national blues acts including James Cotton, Pinetop Perkins, Charlie Musselwhite, Debbie Davies, Tab Benoit, David Maxwell, Little Milton, and more. Per also plays harmonica and sings with Blues on Sunday. Jon Ross, multi-instrumentalist on bass, guitar, steel, and mandolin, has toured or recorded with blues luminaries Duke Robillard, Kim Wilson, Joe Louis Walker, Monster Mike Welch, and other internationally renowned acts. Jon most recently completed a fall 2022 East Coast tour on bass with harmonica player Mark Hummel and the Blues Survivors. Nelson Checkoway, keyboardist and guitarist has played pedal steel with the Commander Cody Band, guitar and keyboards with members of the Greg Allman Band and Dickie Betts’ Great Southern, and his combo Nelson and the New Breed Thing represented Massachusetts in the 2015 International Blues Challenge in Memphis. Rounding out the quartet is Kris Day, bassist and guitarist who is equally at ease on the electric and stand-up bass. Kris has toured with legendary rock and roll and rockabilly artists Link Wray, Dale Hawkins and Ronnie Dawson
The Blues on Sunday 2022 shows at Cadenza, acclaimed by listeners and the media alike, included rave reviews from Mike Halmo, blues director at WMPG-FM in Portland who put an original slow blues recorded by Nelson with Shemekia Copeland guitarist Arthur Neilson into rotation on his Wednesday afternoon show The Blues Highway.

Venue The Oasis of Music at The Church at Trinity Commons
Address247 Bates St., Lewiston.
NotesGuitar-playing, singing and songwriting legend Denny Breau will perform at The Oasis of Music beginning at 12:30 p.m. on Wednesday, May 17, at The Church at Trinity Commons in Lewiston.
Breau’s parents, Hal Lone Pine and Betty Cody, were popular country performers and RCA recording artists beginning in the 1940s. His older brother, the late Lenny Breau, is considered a jazz guitar giant. A recent Dirty Linen review of Denny’s solo CD of “neighborly song portraits of weathered souls” said that “listening to Denny nimbly bend his acoustic steel strings…one can hear a jazz player’s elegant fluidity.”
Breau started playing guitar when he was 9 years old and was performing professionally by his early teens. During more than 30 years as a full-time musician, he has performed with many well-known artists and picked alongside outstanding guitarists including Bryan Sutton, Harvey Reid, J.P. Cormier, Pat Donohue, Dan Crary and Steve Kaufman. He has long been in demand as a studio musician and has done jingles and sound tracks for radio and television as well as recorded and produced albums for other artists. He was a member of roots music trio Turkey Hollow with Tom Rowe and Tom’s son Dave starting in 1998. Since Rowe’s death in early 2004, Denny and Dave have continued to perform as Turkey Hollow on a limited basis. Breau was inducted into the Maine Country Music Hall of Fame in 2004, the youngest inductee in the history of the organization.
Breau is a triple threat: a consummate picker, evocative songwriter, and a singer with a “voice that is warm and inviting but completely unpretentious— much like the singer himself,” according to Lucky Clark. Mainers have long considered Denny a “must see,” but they are happy to share a favorite son with those “from away.”
The Oasis of Music is a weekly music series of performances of roughly thirty minutes, running from September to May. Admission is free, with donations accepted. The musical genres vary greatly, in largely, but not exclusively, acoustic formats. COVID restrictions of optional mask-wearing and social distancing are observed. The Church at Trinity Commons is located at 247 Bates St., Lewiston. For more information, call 207-344-3106.
