SUMMARY:Casey Neill at Barncastle in Blue Hill - WERU Benefit Concert
DESCRIPTION:Join us for a benefit concert for WERU by critically acclaimed indie singer-songwriter and folk musician Casey Neill\, at Barncastle in Blue Hill\, on Friday October 2\, 2026! Thanks to Casey for once again lending his considerable musical talents to raising funds for WERU. Come on out to see and hear a great artist in an intimate setting\, and for a great cause! And thanks to Barncastle for partnering with us again! \nDoors open at 6:30pm to access the bar and seating\, and the show begins at 7:00pm. Tickets $20 in advance (plus fee)\, $25 at the door. Purchase your tickets ahead here! \nCasey Neill is a songwriter from Portland\, Oregon performing high energy indie folk\, infused with haunting melodies and weather beaten narratives. A prolific road warrior since the late 90s\, Neill tours throughout the USA\, Japan\, and Europe\, performing at venues such as Town Hall in New York\, San Francisco’s Great American Music Hall\, and the Newport Folk Festival. Two new albums of his songs are out in 2023 – one by his band Casey Neill & The Norway Rats (Sending Up Flares) and a solo CD of acoustic songs titled time zero land. A self-produced collection of bedroom recordings\, time zero land leans into the American folk and traditional Scots/Irish influences that have often underscored his songwriting craft and guitar work. The songs on Sending Up Flares and time zero land offer a lifeline to a world in need of balance\, shot through with stories about resolve\, resilience\, and wonder. \nCritic Marco Rivera described it best for music blog Splendid: “Be it through raucous rockers\, fragile acoustic ballads\, soulful touches of Irish folk\, Neill’s narrative talent and concern for real people’s struggles stand out. The results are so evocative\, you’ll be tempted to steep further in these memories\, the better to share Casey Neill’s particular blend of personal and historical experience.” \nIn 1997 Casey Neill began a run of three songwriter albums for acoustic label Appleseed Recordings as well as contributing tracks to their Pete Seeger Tribute along with Bruce Springsteen\, Billy Bragg\, and Bonnie Raitt. A compilation of his material entitled Memory Against Forgetting was released by Indigo Girl Amy Ray’s Daemon imprint in 2005. Following a few years treading the boards in New York City\, Neill moved back to the thriving music community in Portland\, Oregon. In 2007\, a far more electric record Brooklyn Bridge was released and The Norway Rats were formed to support it with members of The Decemberists and Eels. Neill is a frequent member of power pop band The Minus 5 along with Scott McCaughey and Peter Buck of R.E.M. Casey Neill & The Norway Rats recorded three records across the 2010’s – the dreamy Americana of Goodbye to the Rank and File the art rock collection All You Pretty Vandals and the electro-folk and pop explorations of Subterrene. It’s been five years since their last album and Sending Up Flares is the sound of a band rallying together\, turning the genre-bending range of its influences into the group’s most cohesive\, cathartic album yet. \n“(Neill’s) songs mask their complexities beneath a simple\, singalong-worthy surface… these swimming waters have serious depth.” – Rolling Stone \n“These are songs with stories well told” – Steve Earle \nLearn more at www.caseyneill.com

SUMMARY:Dolly's Coffeehouse
DESCRIPTION:Singer song-write\, Geoff Warner will perform a mix of original songs and roots covers on guitar and a few fiddle tunes for good measure! Blues legends\, Reverend Garry Davis\, and Mississippi John Hurt and the 60s Rock and Roll he grew up with are influences in Geoff’s fingerpicking guitar style. \nNature\, love\, sailing\, dogs\, birds\, local and global problems and solutions\, and the island life of Deer Isle Maine\, where he lives\, have all ended up in Geoff’s songs in one way or another. “The best songs are like paintings\, you find the perspective\, capture the light\, and then know when to stop.” Often introducing or ending a song with a good story to add origin and dimension\, Geoff considers his performances to be a musical conversation with his audience\, that invites intimacy. \nThe first hour will be open mic\, where everyone is welcome to perform: music\, mime\, poetry\, dance\, etc. Performers are requested to arrive a few minutes early to sign up. There will be a brief intermission with refreshments\, followed by Geoff Warner. \nDonations benefit the Dolly Fisher Emergency Fund\, which provides emergency fuel\, food\, and utility help for households on the Blue Hill Peninsula and informing the public about other available resources. Held downstairs in Fellowship Hall\, come listen and join the fun. Admission is by free-will offering. FMI: contact 374-2891.
