“Meteora” in Concert August 2 at the Camden Amphitheatre

 “Meteora” is an acoustic trio comprised of veteran musicians Will Brown, Jim Loney, and Kat Logan. The Camden Public Library will host an evening of music with Meteora in the Amphitheatre on Thursday, August 2, starting at 7:00 pm, as part of the library’s “Renascence Summer” series. The concert series is free, bring blankets or chairs for comfortable seating; the rain venue will be the Picker Room in the library, so come rain or shine. “A Renascence Summer” is generously supported by The First Bancorp.

Meteora was formed in 2011 and plays an eclectic array of original songs and folk ballads, as well as traditional songs and original arrangements. “Meteora” translates from the Greek as “suspended in air.” Kat Logan and Jim Loney are a singer-songwriter couple from Friendship, Maine. Kat has a crystal clear inviting voice and plays piano, accordion, banjo, and guitar, as well as teaching voice, piano, and guitar. She has performed folk, country, and blues music throughout New England for the past 20 years.

Jim Loney is also a singer-songwriter and has performed Delta Blues and R & B for many years. Jim was attracted to Cuban Son music and played with the band Primo Cubano. He plays guitar, banjo, and hand percussion instruments.

Will Brown is from Lincolnville, Maine and has been playing and singing folk music around fine campfires and in concert since 1963. He plays guitar, laud, banjo, frame drum percussion, and does handy sprints on the cornet. He has been recording with Gordon Bok, Cindy Kallet, Grey Larsen, and  Anne Dodson during the past 30 years.

Kat has also recorded with Gordon Bok and both Will and Kat recorded songs on the 2009 Grammy-Nominated Folk Album “Singing Through The Hard Times – A Tribute to Utah Phillips.”

Meteora leaves no musical stone unturned. Their collaboration began with a concert performance at the Old Triangle in Charlottetown, Prince Edward Island where they were invited to stay and become Canadian citizens but, alas, needed to return home as the paperwork was daunting and their instruments drew way too much attention at U.S. Customs. Since then they have begun their own recording project while playing at venues between Portland and the Penobscot Bay area. Tight three-part harmonies and varied instrumental arrangements are their signature.
