Join us in downtown Ellsworth on July 8th from 7:00 - 9:00 pm for a live music event in the Franklin Street Parklet. This FREE outdoor concert will feature music by Maine-grown folk group, GoldenOak, with an opening set by local singer-songwriter, Caroline Cotter.
This event is brought to you by WERU in partnership with Artsworth, Heart of Ellsworth, Loaves & Fishes and will take place in the Franklin Street Parklet, 124 Main Street, between Elizabeth’s and Sugar Mags Central in downtown Ellsworth.
GoldenOak’s music is rooted in the natural landscape- their songs move like a stream, meandering and weaving in an original yet grounding direction. Fronted by siblings Zak and Lena Kendall, GoldenOak’s music calmly excites its listeners while nestled in rich folk-influenced sibling harmony. The Maine-based band has built a steady and growing fan base with this kind of energetic intimacy. This is perfectly represented in the group's latest album “Room to Grow”- a 10-song reflection of the emotional and physical impacts of the climate crisis. The band is rounded out by upright bassist Mike Knowles and drummer Jackson Cromwell.
