This Saturday: Stefan Henegar and Swollen Spring Violets at USM!

My friends Stefan Henegar and Swollen Spring Violets will be playing for free at the Burnham Lounge in Robie-Andrews Hall on the USM Gorham campus this Saturday. This is going to be a very special end of the year event for residents in Robie-Andrews before finals week kicks in.

Stefan Henegar plays a solo acoustic set with influences from The Beatles, Cat Stevens, Kimya Dawson, and Nick Drake.

Swollen Spring Violets is a collective of musicians in Robie-Andrews led by Jakob Battick of Bangor band 1800s Sea Monster. Influences for SSV include Leonard Cohen, John Cale, Low, The Red House Painters, and The Smiths. This musical collective includes a plethora of instruments from acoustic guitars and electric guitar to piano, accordion and trumpet. I'd like to make a special note that I play trumpet and accordion for this band.

This is going to be a very unique and beautiful event, so I recommend you come on up to Gorham to check it out.
