This Thursday, Jack Magee's will be featuring the return of Sam Bisbee. Brother of beloved sculpture professor John Bisbee, Sam brings a unique, laid-back indie-rock sound out of New York City and is always a great entertainer.
His most recent album, Vehicle, was a huge success on WBOR's charts, and featured such notable guests as fellow NYC rocker and ex-girlfriend of Ryan Adams, Leona Naess. Sam's music is fun, well-crafted, original, and most of all, rocks hard in that laid back indie sort of way. This will be Sam's fourth or fifth show at the pub, and he always shows the crowd a good time, and sometimes he even coaxes his brother onto the stage, so everyone should come and check out this wonderful performer.
Opening for Sam Bisbee will be a second band to emerge from the remnants of Bowdoin legend Autobahn. The as-of-yet unnamed band features the kinder, gentler side of the old band, with Ethan Bullard on the drums, Colin Thibadeau on guitar, and sexy Sarah Ramey on vocals, along with new recruits Ryan Walsh-Martel on guitar and James Wilkins on bass.
The Sarah Ramey Experience will bring a mix of laid-back alt-country sounds along with classic rockers in the style of-and sometimes by-Neil Young, and should put on an entertaining set before Sam takes the stage. The fun should be starting around 9:30 p.m., so be ready.
The following week, Burlington, Vermont instrumental electronica group Concentric will appear, and will be followed the next two weeks by the four Bowdoin a capella groups on Deceomber 2 and Bowdoin bands on December 5. (Any bands interested in playing on December 5 should email me at cthibade). Also, Nov. 23 will be a night of singer-songwriters, featuring a bunch of professionals alongside Bowdoin's own batch of creative talent. If you are a songwriter and would like to perform three to four original songs on this night, email me. Thanks, and enjoy!
