Due to the dismal weather forecast for late this afternoon (Thursday, May 14), we must CANCEL today’s gig at the Shuck Station. It is an outdoor venue and there is no way to protect the sound equipment and instruments from rain.

The good news is that the Bristol Boys expect to have another date at the Shuck Station later this summer. More information on that later.

The Bristol Boys will be performing at Shuck Station (68 Main St, Newcastle) this comingThursday, May 14th, from 5:00 to 7:00 p.m.

The Bristol Boys – Michael Alston, John Scofield, Dan Townsend, and Tom Welch – offer a rich Americana repertoire of folk, blues, bluegrass, soft rock and country, played mainly on acoustic instruments, with some great harmonies and pretty good picking. We cover tunes by the likes of Bob Dylan, John Prine, Jimmy Buffett, The Eagles, Gram Parsons, Guy Clark, Matraca Berg, and Townes Van Zandt, among others. We are especially proud to play original songs penned by our own Tom Welch, many of which focus on the beauty and richness of Maine’s rivers, Northwoods and maritime tradition. 

We hope you’ll come out to sample Shuck Station‘s superb oyster selection and to hear some great music this coming Thursday evening.
