Our sister biz, Jackass Annie, is partnering up with Burst & Bloom Records to host a summer concert series in Bath, ME. This is a benefit series, with a portion of the proceeds going to Maine’s First Ship.

Jocelyn Mackenzie and Jake Mehrmann July 16 at the Grant Lot

With a shape-shifting sound that is at once personal and universal, Jocelyn Mackenzie creates intimate pop songs for a generation of seekers. She is a Brooklyn-based musician, maker, and psychic medium, best known as the singing drummer from Brooklyn’s indie-pop trio Pearl and the Beard. She released her debut solo album PUSH on Righteous Babe Records in early 2021, which American Songwriter calls “unique and infectious.” PUSH was arranged entirely for string quartet and includes compositions from an all-star team of composers including Franz Nicolay (The Hold Steady), Adam Schatz (Japanese Breakfast, Sylvan Esso), and Emily Hope Price (Pearl and the Beard, Kishi Bashi). Her music, which Under the Radar describes as “spirited, powerful, [and] jubilant,”  has been heard in commercials, film, theater, and television. At her core, Mackenzie’s extra-sensory skills inform her creative expressions, integrating media and meaning to create a sound that is both sensual and personal, “at once timeless and very much necessary in this moment.” (Popdust)

NH based singer-songwriter Jake Mehrmann takes a wry, insightful approach to songwriting. Often focusing on the nuances of interpersonal relationships, his work has received praise from NPR’s All Songs Considered, among many others. He has toured and performed with the likes of Yo La Tengo, The Mountain Goats, and Deer Tick, both as a solo performer and as the frontman of Tan Vampires.

DOORS open at 6:30, music starts at 7:30.
