‘HOLLERFEST’ HOSTS THREE NEW ENGLAND BANDS AT STRAND

Rockland, Maine - The Strand Theatre, 345 Main St., hosts three New England bands on-the-rise for one night of HOLLERFEST, featuring Toughcats, with The Ghost of Paul Revere, and Darlingside, Friday, November 22 at 7:30pm.

For ten years now the Toughcats power trio of banjo, resonator guitar, and drums have been playing and performing their original Garage Rock styled Pop Americana across the nation. They are known for their captivating high energy live performances, intricate catchy melodies, driving rhythm, and tight vocal harmonies.

The Ghost of Paul Revere is a holler folk band from Portland, Maine centered around the three part harmonies of life long friends Max Davis, Sean McCarthy, and Griffin Sherry. They formed in 2011 with the additions of Matthew Baker and Matt Young.

They are dedicated to writing powerful, stripped down music that is meant to be experienced live and intimately. Their 2012 debut album North recorded in Portsmouth, NH is available for download.  

Under one roof in New England’s Pioneer Valley, Darlingside, a string-rock quintet, came together with five songwriters, a mandolin, a cello and violin, guitars and drums, a chorus of voices, and a van named Chauncey. Holed up in their home between a cornfield and the Connecticut River, they forged a seamless, exhilarating sound at the intersection of rock, classical, and folk music. The band recently released their debut full-length album Pilot Machine’ and are currently shaking rafters along the eastern seaboard with their vibrant live shows.

Tickets: $17 general admission. The Strand balcony and lobby bars will be open for those ages 21+ with a valid ID. This concert is sponsored by Maine Magazine.
