Composing effortless songs that skillfully slide between folk, jazz and pop, Susan Werner delivers them all with sassy wit and classic midwestern charm. She has been dubbed by NPR as the “Empress of the Unexpected” for her boundless versatility in performances moving from Americana to blues, from New Orleans inspired jazz to old time folk. Appearing on the Opera House stage for the first time in 2021, she instantly became one of our most requested “please bring her back soon” artists. Most recently, she is the composer and lyricist of the Broadway bound, Bull Durham, The Musical. Advance tickets $25, available from the box office at 207-633-5159.

Dobro master and 14-time GRAMMY winner Jerry Douglas is to the resonator guitar what Jimi Hendrix was to the electric guitar, elevating, transforming, and reinventing the instrument in countless ways. Additionally, Douglas is a freewheeling, forward-thinking recording and touring artist whose output incorporates elements of country, bluegrass, rock, jazz, blues, and Celtic into his distinctive musical vision. Called “Dobro’s matchless contemporary master” by The New York Times, three-time CMA Musician of the Year award recipient Jerry Douglas is one of the most innovative recording artists in music as a solo artist, band leader for The Jerry Douglas Band and his GRAMMY winning bluegrass band The Earls of Leicester, as
well as a member of groundbreaking ensembles including Alison Krauss & Union Station, J.D. Crowe & the New South, The Country Gentlemen, Boone Creek, and Strength In Numbers. Douglas shines and soars. His
distinctive sound graces more than 1500 albums with artists such as Garth Brooks, George Jones, Paul Simon, Little Big Town, James Taylor, Emmylou Harris, Elvis Costello, Earl Scruggs, Ray Charles, Dierks
Bentley, and Tommy Emmanuel, among many others. We look forward to Jerry’s return to the Opera House stage this summer. Call the box office at 207-633-5159 for advance discounted tickets, $35. Regular
tickets $40, online at boothbayoperahouse.com and day of show.

Bob Milne has been called the finest interpreter of ragtime music in the world. His boogie-woogie piano playing is something that must be seen and heard to be believed. The Library of Congress has called him
“a national treasure.” The Department of State calls him a musical ambassador. We just keep calling him to come back and play, and again this August this story-telling master of the keyboard will enliven our stage. Our piano is exhausted by the time Bob packs up each year, but the audience is energized. Advance discounted tickets $25, available from the box office at 207-633-5159; regular tickets $30 online at
boothbayoperahouse.com and on the day of the concert.
