In Concert – Summer Brings Out the Free, Live Music in Southern Maine

July 08, 2009 - SOUTHERN MAINE -- Summer concert season has begun and southern Maine is the place to be for free live music in the coming months. Several concert series are starting up this week and next, and it’s time to mark your calendars to make sure you’re in town when your favorite bands perform.

Each concert series has its own atmosphere, and appeals to a different crowd. A few local bands – Tony Boffa and Don Campbell, to name a couple – will appear at several of the venues throughout the summer. Discovery Park, outside L.L. Bean’s flagship store in Freeport, will attract some bigger acts, such as Blues Traveler and The Wallflowers. Young local musicians are more likely to be found on Thursdays in Portland's Monument Square.
