On Wednesday, August 9 th starting at 5:30 pm, Harvest Moon Pizza will provide delicious wood-fired pizza for purchase by the slice or pie at the old Round Pond School House and then, at 7:30 pm, Greg Boardman and Friends will present a concert of traditional and original folk music at the Little Brown Church as part of the Church's summer music series. The Little Brown Church is on Route 32 right across the street from the school house.

The concert celebrates the release of master fiddler and composer Greg Boardman's newest album "Le Frontier est Morte: Songs With and Without Words." Boardman will be joined by Boston-based cellist Daniel Hawkins, Aidan Boardman on guitar, and other friends. Greg Boardman is considered one of northern New England’s most influential musicians. He is the founder of Maine Fiddle Camp and has inspired fiddlers in Maine and beyond for the past three decades. Boardman's music draws from Franco-American musical traditions. He has been singing in French since
childhood and learned the intricacies of regional “Down East” fiddling from Otto Saper and Simon St. Pierre. Boardman continues to share his expertise as a teacher of fiddle and traditional music in Auburn, Maine.

Harvest Moon Catering will bring its portable wood-fired pizza oven to the School House and prepare pizzas on site from local ingredients, allowing concert goers to get a bite to eat before the show. Harvest Moon is renowned in the Midcoast and beyond for its farm to table meals and pizza.

Admission for the concert portion of the evening is by a suggested donation of $12 for adults. Children are free. Proceeds from this evening of beautiful music and great food will go toward restoring the historic Waldo Theatre.

"We are encouraged to see growing support for getting the Waldo up and running again," said board member Janet McMahon. McMahon remembers when the Pride of Maine Fiddle Festival was regularly held at the theatre, drawing Greg and other fiddlers from all over the state. "The board is grateful to the Little Brown Church for hosting this concert and to Harvest Moon for donating the best pizza around. This collaboration combined with Greg Boardman's music is a wonderful way to capture the spirit of the Waldo and reflects the space's regional draw," she says.
