Jim Gallant and friends play the Grange March 2
SANGERVILLE — The East Sangerville Grange is proud to be hosting JG and the Boofs on March 2 at 7 p.m. Mix a little Americana, blues, folk, bluegrass and rockabilly with some great original music and you have the music of JG and the Boofs.
Singer, songwriter and guitarist Jim Gallant has been making music throughout the Northeast sharing the stage with the likes of Jessie Colin Young, Taj Mahal, Doc Watson and The New Grass Revival. Cyrus Rhodes of the Muse’s Muse of his latest CD, “from start to finish ‘Old Hat with a New Coat’ by Jim Gallant is one impressive catalog of music. The music is consistent, uplifting and extremely entertaining.”
Along with Jim are some extremely talented musicians. Rick Masters is a long time guitar great from Portland having played with Chubby Checker, Big Al Downing, Kathy Matea and many more. His lead playing webs an intricate musical story throughout their music.
Adding the driving force to their music is bassist Billy Belskis originally from Rumford. He is an incredibly talented musician who has played with many of the top bands in the Northeast such as Rush and The Waiters. Tying the whole sound together is vocalist, percussionist and arranger Mark Burns. Burns’ sense of harmony and musicianship has given the group a definite vocal sound which perfectly matches their incredible instrumental sound.
To complement the world-class music, the Grange will have its world-class desserts for sale along with their surprisingly strong coffee. Tickets are available at Bob’s Farm, Home and Garden in Dover-Foxcroft. For more information or to make reservations, please call Alan Bray at 564-2722.
