Frances Luke Accord at the Opera House at Boothbay Harbor

The Opera House at Boothbay Harbor
86 Townsend Avenue
Boothbay Harbor
08/05/2017 | 7:30 pm – 9:30 pm

The show begins at 7:30 PM. Doors for seating open at 7:00 PM. Advance tickets $15, day of show $20. Frances Luke Accord are an independent, Chicago based duo, dedicated multi-instrumentalists and meticulous songwriters. Nicholas Gunty and Brian Powers distinguish their music with genre fluidity, buttery harmonies and acoustic ensembles. Although prevailingly a modern folk band, they sip copious inspiration from American, Jazz, soul and rock. NPR’s Mountain stage says, “Frances Luke Accord are the definition of lean-in music.” We think there’s a little Simon & Garfunkel in there somewhere. Come listen to these emerging artists tonight on their national tour.

Café Sci at Bigelow Laboratory on August 8th

Bigelow Laboratory for Ocean Sciences
60 Bigelow Drive
East Boothbay
08/08/2017 | 5:00 pm – 6:30 pm

The Deepwater Horizon accident released roughly 150 million gallons of crude oil into the Gulf of Mexico. While unprecedented efforts went into cleaning it up, vast amounts of oil ended up on beaches, coastal estuaries, and the seafloor. In these places, microscopic organisms are important drivers of crude oil breakdown and removal. Senior Research Scientist Beth Orcutt has been studying oil- and gas-eating microbes in the Gulf of Mexico for more than 15 years. Join her for Café Sci on August 8 from 5 to 6:30 p.m. to discuss the importance of microbes in degrading oil in the ocean and how lessons from the Gulf of Mexico apply to increasing commercial activity in the Arctic Ocean. This fun, free event is open to the public and will be held at Bigelow Laboratory for Ocean Sciences in East Boothbay, Maine. Learn more and register at www.bigelow.org/cafesci.
