A Kyle Morgan livestream concert is set for 7 p.m. Thursday, Feb. 18, via Blue Facebook page; free, donations appreciated.
Blue invites you to spend part of your Thursday night streaming a performance from the singer-songwriter. Morgan is originally from central Pennsylvania, and he recorded his debut album there while bussing tables at an Olive Garden. He then took on the moniker Starcrossed Lovers and released two more albums. These days, he’s back to recording under his own name and calls Queens, New York, home.
Hop onto Blue’s Facebook page (facebook.com/portcityblue) for the live show of Americana, alt-country and retro rock tunes from Morgan.
RELEASE DATE: February 12, 2021
MAINE CONNECTION: The album was produced by Portland’s Jonathan Wyman who helms This Sounds Good. It was recorded at The Halo studio in Windham. What’s more, the latest single, “And So It Went” features nearly 30 students from the Maine Academy of Modern Music singing towards the end of the song. The Pretty Reckless is a rock HUGE band based technically out of New York City but in fact singer Taylor Momsen has been living in Maine for about seven years.
WHO: Andrew LaVogue
RELEASE DATE: January 15, 2021
NOTES: I owe a debt to Portland-based musician Andrew LaVogue for reminding me how instrumental music speaks its own language and can be just as captivating as music with words. LaVogue gets his message across using two types of guitars brilliantly layered with reverb and delay on his EP Surrounded by the Northern Lights, released on Jan. 15.
Live Music Lineup: Stream sounds of winter, flute music and jazz
Catch performances from Halycon & Friends, Carl Dimow and Soggy Po Boys.

The Waldo Theatre invites you to virtually join a multimedia evening with Halycon & Friends. The show features violinists Sophie and Josie Davis and Colin Wheatley on viola in collaboration with cellist Nora Willauer and violinist and videographer Luke Fator. The winter celebration show is one of lovely chamber music with an accompanying film that shows the beauty, quiet, subtlety and darkness of winter, and the program includes Vivaldi’s spellbinding “Winter” from “The Four Seasons,” along with Richter’s “The Nature of Daylight” and pieces by Shubert, Debussy, Price and others. Ticket holders will be able to view the show for a week.
