Saturday, April 12, 2014
- Rock City Café hosts Scotty Saints live music 5-7 p.m.
- Wine Tasting @ The Wine Seller, Rockland from 3:30 to 6:00 p.m. They will be pouring (I’ll quote from the pros cause I’m no wino): “A Grüner Veltliner (Grüvie!); a new 90+ wine (California Chard!); a Vino Spumante Rosé; dry Lambrusco for your antipasti; two fab single-vineyard wines from Chile–Pinot Noir and Cab Franc; a luscious, Rhône-style blend from South Africa; and a big, bold Priorat from Spain, of course.” And there will be plenty of delicious snacks! I don’t know about you but I’m tempted by that Pinot Noir!
- Butcher Demo at Maine Street Meats 3 p.m. free. They’re doing the whole pig! It’s cool. You watch as the butcher breaks down the meat into familiar cuts and explains the process. Poor piggy though. Nice gift shop and samples of State of Maine Cheese Co. cheese.
- Cappy’s monthly Shipyard Party followed by live music with Sam Grinnell! The fun starts with the Shipyard party from 4-6 p.m. There are free munchies, Shipyard giveaways and $1 off Draft Beer!
Me & a pal Sporting our Schnazzzy Shipyard Shwag
- Cappy’s has Sam Grinnell playing some tunes for ya in the Captain’s Lounge (upstairs bar), 6-9 p.m. He does some nice acoustic cover songs for you. I liked when he plays BrettDennen!

- Arborea performs live at Asymmetick Arts, Rockland, starting at 8 p.m. Beautiful, eerie, ethereal vocals & electric guitar with banjo.Very impressive. Rolling Stone ‘Best Under-the-Radar Albums of 2011’ ‘Best Albums of 2013’ Acoustic Guitar Magazine. My recommendation for the night for anyone into music. Give them a listen on their facebook.

No, I don’t mean let’s all get a beer and talk about our exes. I mean the group of musicians playing music call themselves Group Therapy.
