Well, after reading the promo below, Nevah Band felt a close kinship to the Coos Brothers. They are a 3 piece band that does unique arrangements of different bands in unforgettable arrangements. Like Nevah they are a home grown Maine band and play throughout the state. As the years go by I am sure Nevah will have the opportunity to hear and maybe perform with The Coos Brothers
Quote from
http://www.cooscanyon.com
"Coos Canyon is a singing trio from the Portland, ME area performing together for almost seven years now with power drive harmonies and the ability to sing your favorites like few bands can today...
The band takes its name from the amazing rock gorge located in the western mountains of the Longfellow Range carved out over thousands of years by the Swift River that eventually finds its way to merge with the mighty Androscoggin River. It was the boyhood swimming hole of the band's leader and its majesty and strength remind him of powerful sound his band produces...they are fresh, natural, fun, and free flowing like the river...like thunder from the mountains, here comes Coos Canyon.
All members were born and raised in Maine, but to hear them, you'd swear they must come from "the city". It's simply 3 guys, 3 guitars, and should the boys need to "kick it up a notch", they call in a little back up from today's technology. From a sweet acoustic James Taylor ballad to The Eagles, the 1976 Thin Lizzy hit "The Boys are Back in Town" to Joe Walsh's "Rocky Mountain Way, Johnny Cash hit "Folsom Prison Blues" to Kenny Chesney's "Summertime", the 60s Tommy James and the Shondell's hit "Draggin the Line" to 80's Stray Cats hit "Jump, Jive, Wail", the boys of Coos Canyon deliver the BEST of the 60's to now...
We look forward to see you at a Coos Canyon Concert near you...

Corona Brothers Band
The Corona Brothers are a Maine band that has been around the Maine Music scene for the past 14 years. The Nevah Band has nevah had the opportunity to see the Corona Brothers perform but hope to share a stage with them some time before Jimi Buffet finds that he is not the only beach bum band.
quote from Corona Brothers Promo Material:
"The heart of the Corona Brothers is the duo ''Rog & Ray," two souls who have taken it upon themselves to keep the short New England summers alive by putting together a band that breathes warm summer breezes into our Arctic freezes. The 5 piece band has been entertaining audiences for 14 years with their blend of Buffett and Belafonte and both Caribbean and Californian beach music, and rock & roll. The line-up also includes some of Maine’s finest musicians. Ben Ray Jones on guitar and flute, Don Emery on bass and Ron Bouffard on drums. Ray plays conga, guitar, flute, and a number of percussive instruments that he has collected over the years. Rog plays both electric and acoustic guitar as well as keyboards. The stage is adorned with pink flamingoes, palm trees, and all type of decorations that makes one feel as if one should be ordering daiquiris and making sure that one’s supply of sun tan lotion is well stocked."

Maine Alternative Music
Nevah, a Bangor Maine Band, has a set list that covers all genres of music and their musicianship allows them to play most any style. Their six (6) part harmonies can be haunting and sweet or powerful and gruff, and when you add the Pedal Steel, Flute and Sax it makes for an interesting alternative band that will blow you away from one song to the next.
The next time you are out, looking for a cutting edge alternative band that will keep you singing and dancing to a new beat, check out Nevah the eight (8) piece band that changes the meaning of alternative music.

The Bangor Y to Host Nevah at the Next Generation Theatre
In approximately six weeks, on Friday November 4th, 2011, the Bangor Y of Maine is hosting NEVAH at the Next Generation Theatre in Brewer Maine. This is a special fundraising event for the Bangor Y. We hope to fill the theatre with our fans and lots of new folks who have not had the opportunity to hear the Progressive Newgrass Rockabilly Music of Nevah.
I've got to let you in on a little inside info, the Nevah band members came up with a NEW word at our last practice, at least I think it's a new word, we are contemplating calling our style, Prograssabilly! I believe it has some prograssabilities, kind of a "ring" to it. What do you think?
Anyway, since tickets are being sold exclusively through the Bangor Y, if you want to get some, you'd better contact them in a hurry. Seating is limited. Below you will find a poster with the details and contact information, but if you can't read the contact number, it's: 207-941-2808. You can always e-mail us too: nevahband@gmail.com and we can get you the details.
Hope to see you there.

Winterport Fireman's Barbecue
On September 25th, 2011 the Winterport Volunteer Fire and Rescue Association Ambulance Service had a "Family Barbeuce" and Nevah was asked to be on hand to entertain. The boys in the band instantly accepted, even though they knew the night before they'd have an early morning departure from the Discovery Channel's Pelletier Loggers Family Restaurant gig in Millinocket Maine.
What a treat, the sun was out, the company was delightful, there was a lovely canopy under which we set our equipment and we had no trouble getting power to our sound system.
What more could you ask for? Did I hear you say, "Food?" I almost forgot to mention the food. It was perfect and plentiful, especially the strawberry shortcake for dessert.
I must say a good time was had by all as the band played for about 90 minutes, pulling out all the stops, entertaining the crowd with our favorite tunes.
Did I mention they served strawberry shortcake?
Anyway, it was a perfect Nevah afternoon.

Discovery Channel's Pelletier Loggers Family Restaurant Hosts NEVAH
On September 26, 2011 the Discovery Channel's Pelletier Logger's Family Restaurant upstairs bar was the staging area for a night of NEVAH.
Richard, Ed, Jack and Hal arrived early to get a head start on the band's equipment setup. It didn't take long before they had the speakers, stands, cables, power cords, sound board, microphones, microphone stands, instruments and risers in place. Everything was neatly arranged, plugged in to it's appropriate jack on the "snake" and then the opposite end of the snake attached to the sound board. A real thing of beauty to watch the setup, which I believe now takes less than an hour from start to finish.
Jack, after setting up his stage, pedal steel, mics and stands, donned a set of headphones and we all helped with a preliminary "level's set" for the vocal mics and instruments.
Shortly thereafter the rest of the Men O' Nevah showed up, Phil, Larry and our newest Nevah-Man Dick Knipping, whom we thank for filling in on percussion for "Doctor Eric Brown" who was not available for this gig. A second thank you goes out to Scotty Reynolds who came by a few minutes later to run the board and fine tune our sound for the evening, since Jay was not available this past Saturday. When everyone had all their instruments in place and ready to go we ran a quick sound check with the entire band to finish adjusting all the levels.
Then, it was revealed to all, the NEW 4' x 8' NEVAH BANNER … and a special thank you goes out to the anonymous donor of said BANNER. It looked terrific hanging on the wall. Luckily we were able to find a place to hang it near the band.
After everything was set we had an hour and a half to go, so most of the band went downstairs to have a bite to eat. A "lite meal" of course.
Oh, I almost forgot, the wonderful crisp photos you see were provided by Adria, the lovely and talented wife of our guitar player, Larry LeBlanc. Adria also took some video of the evening and we're hoping to get it very soon.
NEVAH started playing at 9 pm and had a wonderful time performing several sets for the appreciative fans who stayed for several hours throughout the evening. A good time was had by all and we even got a nice post on our facebook Sunday afternoon, "Steve wrote: "Good sounding music last night in Millinocket at Pelletiers!"
That's all for now …

The NitPickers Band
Here is a band, The NitPickers, who lean towards the bluegrass side of things like Nevah with Newgrass, Bluegrass roots. Any band, we haven't seen, who plays Newgrass and/or Bluegrass makes us a bit curious. And the NitPickers are one we've heard about and would like the opportunity to check out in the near future. However, until we do catch them in action we will continue to help support the cause for Maine Music here on our Blog.
The NitPickers:
"An ear-catchingly great bluegrass band from Central Maine. Formed in June of 2007, The NitPickers play traditional and original bluegrass and newgrass with impressive harmonies and raw enthusiasm.
Their self-titled CD displays a range of material from newgrass instrumentals to eloquent ballads to playful modern bluegrass delivered with heart and commitment.
Members are Don Bernier on fiddle, mandolin, guitar and vocals, Jane Bernier on guitar, mandolin and vocals, Rich Bernier on dobro, guitar and vocals, Richard Bicknell on banjo, and Woody Woods on bass and vocals.
If you get a chance, catch 'em at a venue near you!
