The Blues band The Renovators will perform at 6 p.m. Saturday, Aug. 14, at Waterfront Park in Bath.
This band has seen a lot of living and their eight CDs of original music reflect that. The Renovators love nothing more than developing a song idea and exercising their collaborative muscle. The resulting lyrics and music are fun, funky, topical, reminiscent, but more importantly, superb and well-crafted tunes. The grooves come from everywhere … where ever the band has been, who they’ve met, what they heard, what they’ve eaten and even the air they’ve breathed. Songs about the power of love … the power of money, asking for truth, going to work and coming home to the girl you thought you knew. The styles are ubiquitous — rootsy, blues, soul, swing, country, rhumba, funk —whatever makes the song happen.
From 1996 to present day The Renovators have been producing original music that has been considered by Lou Marini/Blues Brothers Band and featured on movie sound tracks. The band has opened for musical celebrities such as Albert Lee, Keb Mo, Marcia Ball, CJ Chenier, and Soul Live.
They have performed regularly in area concert venues and clubs across Maine and New York.
The free event is presented in collaboration with Main Street Bath, with support from the City of Bath and Davenport Trust Fund.
All performances will be operated in accordance with State of Maine COVID-19 guidelines. All shows are weather dependent.
