It’s all about the music this weekend. And what a smorgasbord! Alternative, Americana, rock and roll, Scottish, Cuban salsa and dun dun de dun, the theme song to Star Wars: The Force Awakens (thanks John Williams).
National ‘Ugly Sweater Day’ at Trackside
Friday, Dec. 18 — Rockland
Adult Alternative/Top 40ish band Just Teachers will be taking over Trackside Station for National Ugly Sweater Day, rocking the place starting at 9 p.m.
The Mallet Brothers Band at Simonton Corner
Saturday, Dec. 19 — Rockport
The ever-popular Mallett Brothers Band will be playing an intimate show at Simonton Corner Dance Hall (366 Main St.) in Rockport, featuring two sets from the Malletts, with an opening set from Midnight Riders beginning at 8 p.m. Known for their Americana, county, rock and roll vibe, they’ve been taking Maine by storm in recent years. Donations at the door of $15-20 will go to the artists and venue expenses. There will be some refreshments available on site, as well as a bonfire later.
Primo Cubano at The Speakeasy
Saturday, Dec. 19 —Rockland
If you look at your waistband and see a little muffin top (and who doesn’t this time of year?) you can work it off with some chip-free salsa when Primo Cubano takes the stage at The Speakeasy with their Cuban-inspired, Maine-made music. It's time to take to the dance floor and work those hips and shimmy shakes! (One hour can burn up to 450 calories!) The show starts at 8:30 p.m.
Scottish Holiday Concert
Saturday, Dec. 19 — Camden
Friday, Dec. 18 to Sunday, Dec. 20— Bangor
Die-hard Star Wars fans can hit up the Thomaston Flagship theater today and tonight for midnight premier or, if you’d rather get your beauty sleep, drive to a galaxy far, far away (Bangor) for a weekend-long Star Wars “Galactic Gathering” fest at the Bangor Mall cinemas to see The Force Awakens. Celebrated as a mini Comic Con, expect to see local artists, memorabilia, costumes, toys, comics, apparel and more. Remember this guy? You may even see R2D2 itself. FMI: Times of show
