FARMINGTON — The University of Maine at Farmington is kicking off the warm weather with an outdoor Summer Concert Series that will feature free, live music on the lawn of the Emery Community Arts Center in June, July and August.

All concerts begin at 7 p.m. and are open to the public. Audience members are welcome to bring lawn chairs or a picnic blanket. In case of rain, the concert will be moved indoors to Emery’s performance space.

UMF Summer Concert Series events:

Saturday, June 25, Nuclear Salad and Sagittarius Rising

This first concert features two of Farmington’s favorite local bands. Nuclear Salad is a trio of local musicians who draw inspiration anywhere from Jerry Garcia and John Prine to Bob Dylan and Neil Young. Their original music is a blend of folk and rock with a satirical edge. Band members include Ryan Jones on lead guitar and vocals, Peter Hardy on rhythm guitar and vocals, and Doug Reusch on violin.

Sagittarius Rising is twin sister duo Isabelle and Phoebe Rogers from Farmington. Together, they create uplifting original music inspired by nature and the imagination with vocal harmonies, guitar and percussion.

The Emery Arts Center is located on Academy St. (between Main St. and High St.) in downtown Farmington. For more information contact Ann Bartges, director of UMF Emery Community Arts Center at ann.bartges@maine.edu or 207-778-7461.
