The Damariscotta River Association’s Midcoast Music Fest – a Summer Concert Series – three concerts in July at Darrows Barn, DRA’s Round Top Farm in Damariscotta, featuring Primo Cubano, the Jason Spooner Band, the Oyster Creek Fiddlers and more. Maine’s best music, food, beer and oysters in the Darrows Barn, one of the region’s most memorable performance spaces. These events support the conservation and education work of the Damariscotta River Association. No ordinary hay barn, performers and audiences from around the world seek out the Darrows Barn at Round Top for its exceptional acoustics and warm ambiance. Excellent and affordable food, wine, and local beer will be available at the evening performances, offered by two of Damariscotta’s favorite restaurants, along with fresh-shucked oysters from the Damariscotta River. Primo Cubano plays traditional Cuban dance music dating back to the turn of the 20th Century. Son is the most popular style to come out of Cuba and is the primary contributor to the blend of Latin styles today known as Salsa. It was first a music of the country people and eventually migrated to Havana, where it was urbanized and began to draw a wider audience. Primo Cubano features guitarist Paul D’Allesio, Marc Chilled on trumpet, Lenny Hatch on congas, Eric Winter singing and playing maracas, and Duane Edwards on bass fiddle. Opening for Primo Cubano is Zeme Libre, a New England based band quickly gaining a reputation for its unique, high-energy blend of Afrobeat, reggae, ska and funk. Doors open at 6 pm. Tickets are $20 in advance, $25 at the door, and $10 for students with a valid 2015-2016 ID. Purchase tickets at http://www.midcoastmusicfest.com/show/primocubano/
