On Oct. 27, local singer-songwriter Heather Hardy will celebrate the release of her new album “Howl” at the DRA’s Round Top farmhouse gallery in Damariscotta. Hardy will be accompanied by friends and fellow musicians Jud Caswell on guitar and melodica, April Reed-Cox on cello, Dave Martin on bass and guitar, and Roy Arsenault on drums, in an hour-long performance of songs from “Howl” and more. Preceding the concert will be an hour-long open mic.
Winner of the 2013 Maine Songwriting Competition and 2nd place winner of the 2012 New England Songwriting Contest, Hardy is a singer-songwriter living in Bristol. She plays guitar — sometimes like a stand-up bass — and ukulele. Hardy is also well-known within the music community of the Midcoast as a teacher of songwriting, guitar and ukulele for all ages. She recorded “Howl” with Jud Caswell at Frog Hollow Studio in Brunswick.
Doors open at 6:30 p.m. The open mic runs from 6:45-7:45 p.m., with a 15- minute break before Heather’s show from 8-9 p.m.. The open mic is a series of eight-minute, two-song slots, and is designed for individual or small group performances. Performers hoping to play should show up to sign up promptly at 6:30 p.m. There may be a lottery to assign slots if there’s an abundance of musicians wanting to play.
The DRA’s Round Top Farm is located at 3 Round Top Lane, just off Main Street in Damariscotta, with onsite parking. The venue is across the street from Hammond Lumber and next to Women of Substance.
Admission is $8 for adults, $5 for seniors and free for kids 12 and under. For more information call (207) 677-2354.
