Concerts

If you've bought tickets through Ticketmaster in the past few years, you could be in for a bit of a surprise - free tickets! But there's a catch, you can't choose from just any show, you have to wade through a list of concerts that you can use your vouchers on.

Here's a country concert you might not have heard about, it's the 'Start of Summer Bash' on Friday, June 17th at Stinchfield (Baseball Field) on the Beach Road in Leeds, Maine. It features Maine's own Cold Blue Steel with an appearance by Brad Mates, lead singer of Emerson Drive!

God bless the USA!!  From sea to shining sea we are just filled with goofballs and weirdos.  If you fit in this category, then pull out your bucket list and start taking notes. I've got 15 of...not 'the' but thee'...weirdest summer festivals, right here in the continental United States (continental means where all states touch...so not including Hawaii & Alaska...I know, you're shocked, it's n

L.L. Bean has an entire summer filled with great concerts and events.  Some acts may sound familiar and some might seem new, but L.L. Bean always puts on a GREAT show.  Here is what's going on for FREE this summer:

What's better than a warm summer evening and a free concert? Waterfront Wednesday is back in 2016 at Waterfront Park in Augusta. B98.5 and the city of Augusta present the free concerts, just BYOC (bring your own chair) and enjoy. Here's the schedule.

I recently saw Richard Marx perform at the Waterville Opera House.  Amazing performance, by the way.  During his concert, I learned that he co-wrote Keith Urban's song 'Long Hot Summer'.  He performed the song and did amazing.  Now, I'm curious...who do you think sings it better?  Richard Marx?  Keith Urban?

There a lot of good concerts in all genres coming to Maine this summer and here is a list of some of the ones that stood out to me.

This year's Boots N Bulls, presented by Ray Haskell Ford and B98.5, is going to bigger and better. We have a bigger location, the Topsham Fairgrounds, a bigger rodeo with Rawhide Rodeo, more food vendors and country superstar Joe Diffie!

The Boots n Bulls Rodeo and Concert featuring Confederate Railroad will be at the Windsor Fairgrounds on Saturday, September 23.

Gearing up for the 2017 Boots N Bulls rodeo, coming up on September 23 at the Windsor Fairgrounds, it's got me a little curious on just how hard is it really to ride a bull.  I watch it on TV and think...just hang on and don't let go.  Easier said than done, I'm sure.
