Cool Sounds Concert Series: RetroRockerz

By: Melinda Hart






RetroRockerz drew in crowds of people for the last Cool Sounds Concert Series and Outdoor Market in Downtown Bangor – bringing in the largest audience of the series for its last week.











Rocking Horses love RetroRockerz, too! Don Bailey began making rocking horses for his 13 grandchildren 2 years ago, when he found himself with extra time on his hands. Bailey then made them for the great grandchildren, and now makes them to order [dbailey17@tds.net]. Why? “I love doing it,” said Bailey.











Bilykbuttons, also found at the Antiques Marketplace on Main Street, produces unique designs from barrettes to flowers – all using buttons! Janet Bilyk started up this summer and plans to expend to etsy.com. Luckily, she has at least a pound of buttons to use!











It’s clear that Bangor loves RetroRockerz! Their feel good tunes from the 50s to the 70s had people packing into Pickering Square and one their feet.















Their clean classic rock sound brings them all around the greater Bangor area and beyond – offering something for all ages. No one can resist tapping their toes to the beat. RetroRockerz was a perfect ending to 2010’s Cool Sounds Concert Series.
