Rave ‘N’ Rage – Live Music in Maine on the Weekend of 12/13/2018

Is it already only two weeks until Christmas? Wow, that happened fast. While you might be stressed with the usual slew of errands and gift-giving mayhem, here are a few ways to unwind, live music style:

THURSDAY, DEC 13th

Midwestern Medicine Album Release Show w/ Lemon Pitch & Johnny Cremains
Port City Music Hall (Portland)
7:30pm Doors / 8:30pm Show
$8 Advance / $10 Day of Show
All Ages
- Featuring members of Whale Oil and Spencer Albee's band, Midwestern Medicine is something of a local supergroup. What they have that must supergroups don't, however, is the songwriting to back up their lineup. With a new record on the way, the group is bound to be playing some new, cool tunes.

(Clip of the band in question starts at 1:28 and ends around 1:56)

Brzowski Farewell Show
Portland House of Music (Portland)
8:00pm Doors / 8:30pm Show
$10 Advance / $12 Day of Show

- Local rapper Brzowski has been a staple of the local music scene for years, which makes it so sad to learn he's leaving us for TX. Head over to PHOME on Thursday to wish him the best of luck on his next endeavor!

FRIDAY, DEC 14th 

Ray Fulcher Band (Nashville, TN)
Erik’s Church (Windham)
8:00pm Music

State Theatre (Portland)
7:00pm Doors / 8:00pm Show
