Johnny Hiland free show (Maine content)

nasonm · April 14th, 2008, 12:04 PM

I have it from a good source that Johnny Hiland will be playing at the 2008 American Folk Festival on the Bangor waterfront in August (for dates and such, visit www.americanfolkfestival.com )

He'll most likely do more than one set throughout the weekend. All for Free!

Excellent! TY

The festival is no stranger to the tele pickers. In years past we've had Bill Kirchen, Redd Volkaert, Dale Watson plus Wanda Jackson and Jerry Douglas.

Hats off to Bangor to to produce sush a great venue.

Saw Redd and Cindy there 2 years ago.

Thanks for the tip!
I love going to Maine in the summer but it's been a few years. Now I've got a good excuse to go back.

Hey all...Yes, Johnny is scheduled to do the American Folk Festival in Bangor this year. Of course, keep watching his myspace just in case something changes. Right now, he is scheduled and we are pumped that we get to come back to Maine for a little bit. Hope to see ya'll out there. Kim

hahaha....put him to work....

We haven't heard any news on England this year so far. That doesn't mean it will be out of the picture. The folks at PRS are currently working on dates for him and some European dates could be in the works.

Destination Bangor, Maine.

Hi Kim,

Is Johnny going to be in Nashville at the NAMM summer show?

It's always nice to say hi to fellow Mainer.

I will be with Bill and Becky Lawrence.

Yes indeed..he will be there. If you see us, please come up and introduce yourself. NAMM is a pretty crazy time for Johnny, but it's always fun. We are extra excited it's back in Nashvegas again.....WE CAN STAY HOME!!! Kim

I've been intimately involved with production of the American Folk Festival (originally the National Folk Festival) since it's inception. As nasonm stated we've had some great tele pickers over the years plus a lot of other great acts/performers from other venues.

The event started off as a big and unknown gamble in our city of about 33,000. The event has grown steadily every year and last year we had over 160,000 festivalgoers for the weekend.

It's the last weekend in August - a wonderful time of year in Maine. I encourage and invite everyone who can to come to Maine and enjoy the AFF.

BTW, admission is free, and if anyone's wondering, no - I have no financial interest or reward from the event whatsoever - it's just a great time with lots of good music on the Penobscot River waterfront. Hope to see you there !!

Jim
