DAMARISCOTTA — Damariscotta Open Mic is set for 1:30-4 p.m. Saturday, Sept. 14, in the Long Barn at Inn Along the Way, Chapman Farm, 741 Main St.
Artist performances, a chance to jam with friends, inn tours and hay field walks are all part of the by-donation “open mic with a twist” fundraiser in support of the Inn Along the Way. The IAW model is a community design in which older adults live interdependently in a neighborhood-style setting of small, environmentally friendly homes, according to a news release from Sylvia Tavares at the inn.
Rusty Hinges, whose performance on the main stage will begin at 3 p.m., is a group of mid-coast Mainers who will be playing their eclectic repertoire, ranging from classic rock to country, bluegrass to the blues, folk to oldies-but-goodies. Band members Nancy Bridges (guitar, fiddle, penny whistle, vocals), Frank Bedell (bass, resonator guitar, vocals), John Couch (guitar, harmonica, vocals), John Monterisi (guitar, vocals), Peter Saladino (bass, piano, vocals), and Dan Townsend (drums, guitar, vocals) are known by local audiences for their performance style and vocal/instrumental arrangements.
Attendees are encouraged to bring a picnic. Performer sign-in begins at 1 p.m.
