Matt and The Barnburners will perform from 4 to 7 p.m. Sunday, Oct. 7, at Blues in the Barn, Mountain Village Farm B&B, 164 Main St. in Kingfield.
The band are three-time winners of the Maine Blues Society’s statewide “Road to Memphis Competition.”

The band’s repertoire spans the gamut of classic and modern Chicago, Texas, Memphis and original blues music, as well as boogie, funk and soul.
Founding member Matt Bilodeau (vocals and blues harp), and long-time member Daddy-O (guitar and vocals), are joined by Maine blues stalwart, Bub Lynch on drums, Andy Buckland on bass, and newest member, 21-year-old jazz/blues prodigy, Lindsay Mower on alto sax and vocals.
A beer garden and food truck will be on site.
