DOWNEAST IRISH REVUE SCHEDULED FOR MARCH 11
ORONO — The Maine Folklife Center at the University of Maine will present a Downeast Irish Revue on Friday March 11. Featuring the Press Gang from Portland, the show is scheduled for 7 p.m. at the Penobscot Theater in Bangor. It will feature Irish music, folk tales and dance.
Tickets are available from the Penobscot Theater box office (http://www.penobscottheatre.org/tickets.php or 942-3333).
“The Press Gang fuses the talents of squeezebox player Christian “Junior” Stevens, fiddler Alden Robinson, and guitarist Owen Marshall into a high-octane musical partnership. The trio blends their skill and fluency in traditional Irish music with their curiosity and aptitude for other styles,” according to the group’s website.
