Woolwich Historical Society will be hosting another summer concert series Wednesdays in July. Held in the historic Nequasset Meetinghouse, these concerts feature local musicians, highlighting a variety of talent.

Long-time Woolwich performers Sharon Pyne and Doug Protsik open the series on Wednesday, July 8. Pyne, a wooden flute and tin whistle artist, also teaches music in Bath. Protsik, an accomplished accordionist, pianist and fiddler, has also been seen playing “old-time piano” for silent movies.

The Montsweagers perform Wednesday, July 15. This is a group of local musicians, many of whom live in the vicinity of Montsweag Road in Woolwich. This group, which has only been performing for a little over a year, features accordion, flute, piano, banjo, drums, and a couple of fiddles. Many residents may have heard the Montsweagers last fall at the annual Veteran’s Day service at the Meetinghouse.

Contemporary musician Max Ater joins us on July 22. Soon after winning Maine's Got Talent in 2012, the 22-year-old award-winning singer/songwriter and actor has appeared on multiple television programs throughout Maine, sharing the stage with bigger names. Ater is currently performing throughout Maine with the Max Ater Trio.

Patrick Wright, Melinda Baxter and Walter Gregg perform together as Stage Wright on Wednesday, July 29. This Woolwich trio mixes a variety of acoustic instruments and harmonies. Stage Wright performs a mix of modern folk and bluegrass tunes. All three are former teachers at the Hyde School in Bath, and have been playing music together in mostly informal settings for 20 years.  

All concerts are free and held at the Nequasset Meetinghouse on Nequasset Road (opposite the Woolwich Town Office) at 13 Nequasset Road at 7 p.m.

Free refreshments.
