Based in Waterville, the band specializes in the music of Maine composer R.B. Hall. Two of the band members, Colleen Curran and Ben Doe, grew up on Peaks Island and were thrilled to return with their musical colleagues.

The concert was co-sponsored by the Peaks Island Music Association, the Peaks Island Land Preserve, and the Eighth Maine Regiment Memorial Association who thoughtfully provided cold drinks for the crowd. A fun time was had by all!
