Join Midcoast Music Academy for an evening of live music with The Speed of Sound and MKTrio!

The Speed of Sound is a Maine-based indie band that blends sharp musicianship, melodic sensibilities, and a love for timeless songwriting. Fronted by our good friend Spencer Albee on lead vocals, vintage keyboards, and rhythm guitar, the group also features MCMA instructor Zachary Bence (lead guitar, background vocals), Jake Greenlaw (drums, background vocals), and Caleb Sweet (bass, background vocals). The band has a hankering for Wonder, Hendrix, Little Feat, McCartney, The Meters, Zeppelin, Hancock, Bowie, Zevon, and Detroit-era Motown.

MKtrio is Myles Kelley (keys), August Duclos (bass), and Owen Markowitz (drums). MCMA alumni Myles and Owen grew up in Midcoast ME, forever in debt to the angels at MCMA, but August is from The Big Apple. They describe their music as loud, quiet, medium, good, bad, ugly, locally grown and unflinching.

This all-ages fundraiser features a cash bar and raffle, with proceeds supporting Midcoast Music Academy’s founding principal to never turn a dedicated student away.

Tickets are $30 in advance ($15 for students) or $35 at the door and can be purchased at www.midcoastmusicacademy.com/mcma-concert .
