Disability Pride Maine 2023 Speakers & Musicians

Blue Room Frankenstein, the Friday band from Listen Up! Music, in Portland. They create their own original music and re-create classic hits specific to their own collective experiences as part of their effort to bring inclusivity and positivity to the masses. Just like Frankenstein, the band is composed of many disparate parts that, when assembled, form a monster — of Rock ‘n Roll.
