Born in Fort Fairfield, country music legend Dick Curless[6] was a singer, songwriter and guitarist. His biggest hit, "A Tombstone Every Mile", was a song about a stretch of road in Northern Maine. He was an inaugural member of the Maine Country Music Hall Of Fame,[7] located in Mechanic Falls. The Dick Curless Memorial Scholarship Fund[6] has been established to support young Maine musicians.

Many prominent singer-songwriters grew up in Maine, including Patty Griffin, Ellis Paul, Slaid Cleaves, David Mallett and Rod Picott. Cleaves and Picott were childhood friends in South Berwick. Randy Browning of the Late Bloomer moved to South Berwick.

The Freewill Folk Society at Bates College also continues the folk tradition. There are also more traditional folk acts such as Schooner Fare, Maine's best-known folk trio-turned-duo following the death of Tom Rowe in 2004, and the Dave Rowe Trio, founded by the late Tom Rowe's son. The Maritime- and Celtic-inspired folk duo Castlebay continues these traditions by researching archives for songs and ballads sung in Maine and performing them. In addition, members Julia Lane and Fred Gosbee write and perform songs about Maine's people and history. Newer Maine-based progressive folk artists have been emerging since the 1990s, including Heather Caston and Nancy Cartonio.

Maine's musicians play a variety of different styles of folk music. Irish, Scottish, Quebecois, and even southern styles were influential on Maine's folk tradition. French-Canadian music is popular in Northern Maine on the border of Canada. The traditional fiddle tunes extended into Maine and became very prominent in all of New England.

The southern coastal region both in and near Portland, Maine is home to many jazz instrumentalists, composers, singers, songwriters and arrangers. The University of Southern Maine at Gorham[11] campus offers many jazz concerts throughout the academic year.

Lenny Breau, born in Auburn in 1941, is often considered to have been the most gifted jazz guitarist of all time.[12][13] He was also a very well versed classical guitar player, known for his distinctive fingerstyle technique and ability to incorporate two-note comping, harmonics, quartal harmony and three-against-two rhythms. He was also known for blending jazz, flamenco, classical and country styles. During his lifetime, Breau recorded albums such as The Hallmark Sessions, Swingin' on a Seven String and Guitar Sounds. Some of his most memorable tunes are "Bouree", "The Claw" and "Emily", performed in Brunswick on August 2, 1980. Breau died in Los Angeles in 1984.

The band Oak, signed to Mercury/PolyGram, had four songs that made the Billboard Hot 100 chart; the most successful was "King of the Hill", which reached No. 36 in May 1980. Oak originally consisted of Rick Pinette (vocals, piano, guitar), Dave Stone (keyboard), Danny Caron (drums), George Borden (bass) and Scott Grover Weatherspoon (guitar). John Foster replaced Borden on bass for the band's second album. Carl Crosen (guitar) and Bruce Noell (bass) played in the band during the time in which demos for the record label were recorded. Oak went on national college concert tours and played all over the Northeast and Eastern Canada. The band was known for great theatrics, high energy and excellent vocals and musicianship.

"One of the very best books on historic songs of the sea. There are many such books, but few achieve such a high level throughout, with such attention to musical detail and such precise writing. The lengthy introduction itself is invaluable to anyone interested in historic music, the sea, and Maine. "

"Not since Joanna Colcord published Roll and Go in 1924 have we seen such a comprehensive compilation of songs from the sea as this one. Julia Lane and Fred Gosbee have brought forth not just the songs, but so much important contextual information, such as a map of the location of singers, the source of the song, the melody to which the song is sung, and editorial notes that compare songs with other known versions, or similar songs known by different names.

"This is a book that will be a treasure to singers, but also to folklorists, ballad scholars and historians. The authors have exceeded their goals to create a song book. They have created a volume that will stand proudly on library bookshelves next to books by Phillips Barry, Fannie Eckstorm, Joanna Colcord and other ballad scholars."

Castlebay has been musically weaving together the heritage of New England and the Celtic lands since 1987. Members Julia Lane and Fred Gosbee have loved and researched traditional music for most of their lives and blend history, legend and experience into their personable performance style. Their concerts feature poignant ballads sung in Lane's ethereal soprano and Gosbee's rich baritone interspersed with joyous dance tunes played on Celtic harp, guitar, fiddle and tin whistle. Castlebay treats the audience to a musical journey through time and across the Atlantic. The duo also presents special theme concerts on various aspects of Celtic lore, nautical life or Colonial America.

Castlebay has toured the Eastern U.S., Ireland, England and Scotland playing at festivals and arts centers, as well as on radio and television. The duo maintains a commitment to cultural education, exchanging music and lore with colleagues. They provide folklore and music programs for schools, museums, libraries and Elderhostels exploring Celtic lore and tradition throughout the eastern US and the British Isles. Castlebay has released 35 recordings including both original and traditional songs, Christmas harp recordings, and the "Tapestry" collection, a 6-part instrumental series.

The music and lore of both the Celtic lands and New England is alive with imagery associated with our relationships to each other and the natural world. The stories and songs are a vehicle for explaining them and attempting to transform, or be transformed by them. Hearing and understanding ancient stories and music inspired by elemental experience can help us refill our own wells of creativity and reweave the web of connection. They are timeless, and provide revelation, and even healing, for both the bard and the audience.

Early February marks the Celtic holiday of Imbolc, also known as St. Brigid's Day or Candlemas. It is the midpoint between the winter solstice and the vernal equinox and is a time of renewal and emergence from the darkness and constrictions of winter. As nature awakens to the strengthening sun, so humans respond and have developed story, songs and traditions reflecting this response.

Many Upper Campers study multiple instruments and also song. We encourage them to pursue all of their musical interests through the use of an individualized scheduling system that provides for a broad variety of musical activities in many different styles, and at different levels, along with plenty of traditional summer camp fun and recreation.

The Sweet Chariot Music Festival on Swan's Island brings together an eclectic mix of musicians as well as performance artists for three nights of song, dance, and theater. The festival's directors say it's "not for the faint of heart," and that you should bring "your voice, your boat, your moxie, and your mojo." If you can't make it out to the island for the main performance, there's an informal festival held in Rockport Harbor for free on Sunday, July 30th.

French-language folk song continues in the Upper St. John Valley as a living oral tradition. Perhaps the best known Maine Acadian traditional singer is Ida Roy of Van Buren. Her enormous repertoire includes old ballads and lays, locally composed songs and comic music-hall ditties, original commemorative songs, and complaintes. Complaintes are poems from the oral tradition that usually commemorate a tragic event, often sung to the melodies of religious hymns (J. C. Blesso, pers. comm. 1993). Because of her tremendous repertoire and her efforts to keep the song tradition alive, Mrs. Roy was recently nominated for a National Heritage Award by the Maine Arts Commission. Another singer is Constance "Connie" Morin Derosier of St. Agatha, Maine. Illustrating the importance of family in transferring culture, Mrs. Derosier inherited her love of singing and her songs from her father, Eddie Morin, a singer of local reputation. However, of the 16 children in her family, Connie is reportedly the only one to have learned her fathers songs.

The fiddling of Alfred Parent of Van Buren was recorded on a cassette entitled Traditional Music of Maine, Vol. 1, produced in 1988 by the Maine Folklife Center at the University of Maine (Orono). His recorded repertoire, including "Rag Time Annie," seems to be related more to a broader old-time repertoire than to any set of specifically Acadian tunes. Similarly, outstanding young Valley fiddlers like Bobby Kelly, Terri Charrette, and Mark Morris maintain a repertoire that is representative of old-time Anglo-American fiddling. Lionel Doucette is another well-respected local fiddler. ff782bc1db
