Hi Folks!

It's been a short, but sweet, job!

Due to other committments, I need to end my work here blogging about the local music scene!

I'm going to miss doing this, as it gave me the chance to meet some great people and write some great stuff - I've enjoyed it, and thanks for reading!

You can keep up with me, my writing, and my music at my website - hope to see you there!

All the best to you,
Bob McKillop

Gig Review

Richmond is not that far to travel from Portland for a good night in a pub – and that’s just what we got Saturday night when Polly and I ventured a bit north of town (OK, about an hour north of town) to join a friend at The Old Goat in Richmond.

Vanessa Torres and Touching Ground

Vanessa Torres and her band, Touching Ground, are an example of the many Maine performers and songwriters who are helping to build a reputation for Portland, and for Maine, as an incubator for great independent music that is headed for national recognition. You have an opportunity to help Vanessa and her band capitalize on their hard work and their savvy, by helping them get to Austin, TX later this month.
