The trio Meteora (translates from the Greek as “suspended in the air”) was formed in 2011. The band plays a fascinating and eclectic array of original songs, folk ballads, and traditional songs and original arrangements. The trio is made up of venerable musicians Will Brown of Lincolnville and Kat Logan and Jim Loney of Friendship. “Meteora”

Meteora has performed throughout New England and the east coast in concerts, folk festivals and house concerts. Both Kat Logan and Will Brown were featured on the Grammy nominated CD, “Singing through the Hard Times,” a tribute to the late Utah Phillips, and have recorded with artists such as Gordon Bok, Cindy Kallet and Anne Dodson. Jim Loney comes from a blues background and performed with the band the Bluetonics.

The group is particularly appreciated for their tight three-part harmony and instrumentation that includes guitars, banjo, piano, trumpet, percussion and accordion.

This concert will feature music they will be including on their CD which they are presently recording in Brunswick with Jud Caswell.

Nick Appollonio will be the featured performer in August and Caswell at the Sept. open mic.

The St. George River Cafe, owned and operated by Ann Gonzalez and Fanny Faye Davis, is located at 310 Main Street, right off of the bridge in Warren.
