“Meteora” at the Camden

“Meteora” at the Camden Library Coffeehouse November 1

The trio Meteora was formed in 2011 and plays a fascinating, enjoyable, and eclectic array of original songs and folk ballads as well as traditional songs and original arrangements. The trio is made up of venerable musicians Will Brown of Lincolnville and Kat Logan and Jim Loney of Friendship. “Meteora” translates from the Greek as “suspended in air.” The trio will perform at the November 1 Library Coffeehouse at 7:00 pm at the Camden Public Library; admission is $7/$5 for seniors and students.

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

Will Brown 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 during the winter of 2011 with a concert performance at the Old Triangle in Charlottetown, Prince Edward Island. Since then they have been playing at venues between Portland and the Penobscot Bay area. Tight, three-part harmonies and varied instrumental arrangements are their signature. Kat, Jim, and Will have also recently returned from nine days on the road where they toured in New York’s Hudson Valley, Connecticut, and the D.C./ Annapolis area, performing at the Folklore Society of Greater Washington Getaway Festival as well as several house concerts along the way.
