NEVAH at the NEXT GENERATION THEATRE - OCT 4th

BREAKING press release from NEVAH … 

NEVAH’s 1st EVAH FALL FLING…

We are NEVAH, a Maine band, bringing A LIVE MUSIC SHOW to the WORLD FAMOUS NEXT GENERATION THEATRE, October 4, 2014 AD from 7:30pm to 9:30pm. We present a unique concert experience with an abundance of original and familiar tunes. We’ve coined the word, “prograssabilly” to describe the blending of progressive, newgrass, folk, rock, soulful sounds and shimmering vocals into a cohesive musical event which will change the course of the universe and the lives of each audience member. 

NEVAH - performing LIVE Music in Maine at
the Next Generation Theatre - Oct 4th

NEVAH is a fairly large band, eight (8) musicians with instrumentation running the gamut from acoustic guitar, mandolin and banjo to electric guitars, electric bass, saxophone, flute, pedal steel & dobro along with a percussion section (drums and congas). Our individual musical tastes vary from bluegrass to folk to rock and roll, jazz, waltzes and the list goes on. And somehow, we … Phil Pitula, Ed Russell, Richard Silver, Larry LeBlanc, Dick Knipping, Jack Anderson, Eric Brown and Hal Meyers … “blend”. 

And we have even more exciting news too … Mark Shane … the audio guru will be running our sound for this and hopefully future events.

We look forward to seeing you at the Next Generation Theatre on Oct 4th.

We were very lucky that the weather held off and it was a sunny/cloudy/cool-ish - day and evening with only a momentary drop or two of rain. Seriously I think I saw two drops.

And … it was graduation weekend on top of everything else - crazy!

We had a blast and it appears the audience did as well. They sang along, danced, clapped, cheered, applauded loudly, laughed at our banter (sometimes) … oh, clogged (yes, we encourage clogging). All of this as we presented a full NEVAH evening including the addition of 7 new tunes and/or arrangements never heard by our audiences.
