Local Music

It stars a scooter riding gang of lovable Augusta hooligans cruising down Sand Hill, up Water Street and of course (our favorite road to run as teens) along Western Avenue, among other familiar spots.

We Mainers all have our own cherished memories of the yearly traditions of going to the fair. That's why it's likely that many of us are bummed that it's not going to happen in 2020. One of our favorite local bands feels the same way.

This 13 minute video includes electrifying live footage of Bill Chinnock and his band blazing white-hot at The Great Northeast Music Hall in Portland, Maine circa 1981.

These boys also like to stroll through the tall grass in wide open spaces and hike the wooded trails. Along with these nature loving excursions of course comes the threat of terrible tiny beasts...Friggin' Ticks!

Meet Officer Al Guisto. Not only is Al one of the many great heroes on the frontline during the pandemic, he's also a bonafide bluesman. He has a terrific gritty baritone that humorously delivers some important health and safety reminders.

A video has come to our attention that we think lots of folks around here will want to see. This is a father and son duet done by two very talented Mainers over 1000 miles away from each other.

As we wait for the dirt roads and backyards to dry out, we Mainers can totally relate to this music video.

Craig is a wicked Mainah who hilariously raps his way through our notable features such as Anna Kendrick to "more moose here than you've ever seen" and a whole bunch more.

Well now we are especially happy here at the Blimp to be able to play that original North Country Records release on CD. And now you can get your own copy too!
