Maine native, Milwaukee based Julie Thompson will be presenting songs by Maine writers.  Come enjoy the Yankee spirit, and the landscape of New England deep in the lyrics. Julie's career has spanned the styles but her love for folk music has given her opportunities such as opening for The Kingston Trio in New Hampshire and in Wisconsin, and singing with The Dangerous Folk at Summerfest.   (www.JulieVoice.com)

Joining Julie is meteorologist by day, musician by night, Allen Becker. Allen has played classical and folk guitar since his early teens. And his recent study of the slide guitar brought his musical journey to the resonator guitar, the dobro.

Tony Linz will be opening with a program called “Maine Songs and Stories”. It includes a set of songs about Maine by Mainers as well as stories by a Maine humorist. A proud graduate of Bangor High School and the University of Maine, he is excited to share his love for his home state. Tony is a longtime member and jam leader for Make Our Own Music Gathering. This is his second appearance on the Coffee House stage.
