2008 L.L. Bean Summer Concert Series–very cool

Posted by ptroast

I’m psyched about this year’s L.L. Bean Concert Series. Solid acts, a great outdoor setting and FREE. Yep, no charge.

Within the Portland/Southern Maine music scene, the Bean Discovery Park “venue” fits a missing niche for good, mid-sized bands that are too expensive for bars and not big enough for the Civic Center. That L.L. Bean subsidizes the shows so we can see them free is, well, just darn nice of them. Thanks.

Here’s the full schedule, which I wasn’t able to find in html with links to the bands, anywhere else on the web.
