Country Fest Maine
Litchfield, Maine
August 3rd to 5th
www.CountryFestMaine.com
Country Fest Maine is a 3-day country, bluegrass, folk music festival held annually the first full weekend of August at the Litchfield Fairgrounds, 44 Plains Road, Litchfield, Maine. 20+ musicians and bands perform over the weekend, with a headline act performing Saturday night from 7:30pm-9:30pm.
The 2012 headliner is Denny Breau, (www.dennybreau.com). Denny Breau’s rhythmically flawless and dazzlingly clear style allows him to do amazing and stunning things with a six string guitar. He first draws in an audience with a finely arranged melody and then slides effortlessly into scorching fingerwork that sets ears aflame. The lighting fast guitar lines that seem almost humanly impossible to accomplish are balanced with those that have a quiet intimacy and wrap tenderly around his carefully crafted songs. He mixes genres with ease folk, Delta blues, country and jazz "creating a totally accessible musical mélange that captivates as it entertains."
Rounding out the weekend are various food and merchandise vendors, Country Fest Maine memorabilia, open jams (both acoustic and electric) and loads of fun.
Camping and tenting are available for the weekend for a very reasonable price, with a 20% discount available to RV’s when reserving early.
Admission is $10/person per day.
