Sunday, October 6 from 1:30 – 2:45 pm, L.L.Bean Discovery Park Stage
Based out of Waterville, Maine, The Elm City Strugglers perform a dynamic selection of rags, blues, breakdowns, waltzes, and other old-time dance music. These range from hard-driving numbers to slower sentimental pieces that befit their old-fangled primitive elegance. The band features Nick on fiddle, Harry on guitar, and Terry on bass.
Nick has been playing music for over four decades throughout the country. As a recognized Master Traditional Artist by the NEA, he focuses on traditional music of central Appalachia and the deep south. Harry has been making and repairing violins in Waterville for the past few decades and has played with area bands such as “The Yankee Soul Revue”, “14 Strings”, and “Mes Amis”, a Django-inspired swing band. Terry is a long-time veteran of the Central Maine bluegrass scene, playing in groups such as “Katahdin Valley Boys”, “Chairback Gap”, and most recently the swing dance band “The Skyliners”.
