Novel Jazz returns to Skidompha Library on Friday, Aug. 30 from 7 to 9:30 p.m., for an evening of swinging jazz in support of the Library's "Little Food Pantry." The library is located at 184 Main St., Damariscotta.

The band, along with special guest/guitarist, Bill Barnes, will be focusing on tunes from the Great American Songbook. Admission is free and all are welcome to this special concert - but in lieu of purchasing a ticket, the library requests that attendees bring food, personal hygiene items or a financial donation (suggested $20/person) for the pantry. Pantry items must not be expired or opened. All donations support other community members in need.

For more info, call 207-887-0919 see www.skidompha.org and www.mainejazz.net. And, we’re on Facebook!

“These are all seasoned jazz guys, and the result is a sound that made me sway, smile, groove, slow-dance with myself around the living room and play the air snare drums.” - Aimsel Ponti, music writer, Portland Press Herald
