Cool Sounds Concert Series: Blue Northern

By: Melinda Hart




Blue Northern brought bluegrass to Bangor for the fourth week of the Cool Sounds Concert Series, performing to families and their dogs under a rainbow in Pickering Square.











Broad Street was filled with vendors for the outdoor market. It’s Angela Mitchell of Earth & Sky Designs fourth year in the market, where she sells jewelry crafted with high quality materials.












There’s not only handcrafted jewelry, but handcrafted Adirondack chairs! Four-C’s Adirondack Chairs is a family business (named after family members’ initials). Crystal Kane - who has made chairs for three years, learned from her father - who had made chairs for over 30 years.









Blue Northern is bluegrass from Blue Hill – specifically a five piece band playing traditional, original, and contemporary acoustic music. Their smooth sound echoed through the square, giving an authentic down-home feeling to downtown Bangor.




Blue Northern features guitar, upright bass, mandolin, fiddle, dobro, octave mandolin and tenor guitar, plus group vocals, and performs covers as well as original pieces.





Come see Evergreen next week, spanning blues and old time country to appeal to a wide range of listeners.
