HOMEMADE MUSIC TAKES COOL SOUNDS STAGE: Half Moon Jug Band headline July 5th Cool Sounds Concert

BANGOR, ME- Downtown Bangor Partnership welcomes country, bluegrass style Half Moon Jug Band to the Cool Sounds Stage. This band is a four-man musical mob of desperadoes hijacking the plodding freight train of folk music, steaming it up the mountains of rock ‘n roll, through the vaudeville pass, and down across the valley of country music before wrecking it in the middle of a rubber chicken farm on the outskirts of town. Their weapons of choice: guitars, banjos, mandolins, hefty bass riffs and rotund sing-along choruses. This is honest, good-time music with great taste, see for yourself!


The show is in conjunction with the Outdoor Market which features over 45 vendors selling Maine-made fine arts, select crafts, specialty food items and produce. All items are handmade, prepared or raised by the vendor. Items available include; art, baked goods, cheese, clothing, food, handbags, jewelry, photography, and much more. The market, located along Broad Street and in West Market Square, will be held from 5:00 PM- 8:00 PM. For a complete list of vendors visit www.downtownbangor.com. The Cool Sounds free concert runs from 6:00 PM- 7:30 PM.

These events take place from 5:00-8:00 PM rain or shine. Attendees are encouraged to dress for the weather. In the event of heavy rain market participation is at the discretion of the vendor and concerts will be moved under Pickering Square garage.
