A cozy concert in a library ft original music by singer-songwriter Katherine Perkins with her band of Maine musicians

Join us at Mechanic’s Hall for a dynamic evening of original music by Bar Harbor-based singer/songwriter Katherine Perkins.

Somewhere at the fringes of Americana and Indie Roots music, there are glimmers of early Bonnie Raitt and Lucinda Williams in Perkins’ songwriting, glances of Aldous Harding and Laura Marling, and a little Tom Waits in his smoky barroom years.

The band, made up of seasoned Maine musicians –– Rebecca Lasaponaro, drums; Jonathan Henderson, bass; Ryan Blotnick, guitar; Danny Fisher-Lochhead, alto sax –– grounds the music with deep, rich grooves and lush instrumentation.

ABOUT THE SERIES

Inspired by a certain well-known desk-based concert series, the Mechanics’ Hall Tiny Circulation Desk brings the same stripped-down, close-up energy, with more library cards and fewer office supplies.

Equal parts cozy hangout and low-key listening room, this weeknight series transforms the Mechanics’ Hall Library into one of Portland’s most intimate and unexpected music venues.

Filmed by the Portland Media Center, each concert feels like a live demo, a secret show, and a community gathering all at once. Tea and libations provided.
