local music

CYY knows that 2021 is going to be an OK year because we have new music from Spencer Albee. You know Spencer from his six solo albums plus his work with Space vs Speed, Spencer and the School Spirit Mafia, As Fast As, Rocktopus, and Rustic Overtones.

We all know that there are no concerts right now. And that sucks. But for the Portland music industry, it's devastating. Back in March when venues closed, it seemed like it was only a weekend of lost revenue….but that has turned into an entire year and more of lost income. While COVID cases rise and restrictions remain in place, our venues have no safe way in which to re-open. Over 1,000 concert events have been lost along with 90% of their revenue. The venue closures affect musicians, agents, promoters, managers, thousands of employees, and fans in ways that are profound and direct…..though at the center of it all our independent venues have been affected in ways that are almost incalculable.

CYY loves local music. You can always hear a ton of local on Spinout every Sunday night. Here's some great NEW local for ya. We have the first taste of Dominic Lavoie’s new LP ‘Wave With A Broken Arm.'. It's a killer song called "Skeletons At The Feast" and the song and video will blow your mind!

This weekend has plenty of variety, from pop-punk, to solo piano, to a tribute to one of the Portland music scene's most beloved musicians.

His name is Lyle Divinsky and his powerfully soulful voice is just what we all need right now.

You know him as one of our great DJ's on the radio, but our Dominic Lavoie is also the singer for one of the best local bands around-Dominic and the Lucid. It's so great having a local musician on our airwaves-it's what we're all about. Local...

Uproxx used a variety of factors to name the artist/musicians who best represent each state in the country. Rustic Overtones were the choice for Maine.
