Arts & Cultural Alliance of Freeport (ACAF) is excited to present a series of three outdoor concerts in celebration of summer, great music, and the community. These concerts will be held on Sunday August 8, Saturday August 14, and Sunday September 5th in the parking lot behind Meetinghouse Arts at 40 Main Street in Freeport.

Coastal Winds will be playing on August 8 at 2 pm. This is Freeport area’s community band and is comprised of dedicated and talented woodwind, brass and percussion instrumentalists. They play a variety of traditional music.

The August 14 concert will begin at 1 pm and will feature three bands. Singer/songwriter Chris Nichols will play a set of his original tunes. He will be followed by Not2Sharp, a local band known for its great harmonies, mixture of original and cover tunes, and humor. Outerspace Band will close the show. This band has been “galactic for more than five decades” and has opened for Dr. John, B.B. King, Waylon and Willie, Willie Dixon, and more.

The Sunday September 5 concert will begin at noon with an interactive songwriting workshop conducted by award-winning Americana band Low Lily, followed by the All-Brights who play a wide variety of funky old tunes, country-folk-Americana, and heartfelt originals. Delta Knights, who have been a Maine favorite for 25 years, will follow, bringing the best of R&B, blues, classic rock, and swing. The show will finish with Low Lily, who were winners of the Best Bluegrass Song at the 2019 Independent Music Awards. Low Lily’s signature sound attracts enthusiastic audiences in the U.S. and U.K.
