DRAUDUGA with Regals & Mother Earth Freedom Band
Friday, March 17, 2023
All Ages
Door 7 / Show 8 / $10
New Hampshire natives Regals make their Sun Tiki debut, sharing the stage with Portland's favorites Draudiga and Mother Earth Freedom Band. This will be an amazing evening of Rock and Roll and Twang- an event not to be missed! ~ Draudiga lurks in the dusk, in the sleaziest corner of a haunted glade- where the dryads and the wood nymphs Sleep in Safety, head to toe Death Rock, covered in desert dust and strung out on old Gun Club and Hasil Adkins records while maintaining the airy whimsy of Kate Bush and the toothsome menace of Lydia Lunch. The songwriting project of Reesa Wood, Draudiga is from Maine ~ REGALS is Rock n’ Roll group from the New England area founded by Rocky Regal, Merkle & Christopher J. Brün. ~ Mother Earth Freedom Band is the outfit of partners-in-fuzz Tara and Brian Cohen (of Fur and the Rattlesnakes) alongside Maine DIY journeyman Mike Cunnane.

Say Zuzu is celebrating the release of "No Time to Lose'' , the band's first album of new material in nearly twenty years. It’s due out on Strolling Bones Feb ‘23. Joining Say Zuzu is Palomino Motel, the double lead vocal, soulful and slightly psychedelic Americana country-rock collaboration between Natalie Mishell and Spencer Albee.

Door 7 / Show 8 / $15-$20
Playing heavy fast punk/hardcore with grooves and breakdowns, TREE created their own signature sound while touring the country through the 90s. Now TREE is back to continue their work and hitting the road bringing out old fans, making new fans, and selling out shows. Same old dreams and messages- even more relevant today. Joining them are Portland's own thrashdoom band Exclave and heavy prog giants Sunrunner!
An Evening with SOULE MONDE
Saturday, March 4, 2023
All Ages
Door 7 / Show 8 / $20-$23
SOULE MONDE ~ We are honored to welcome Russ Lawton and Ray Paczkowski, better known as Soule Monde, to the Sun Tiki stage on Saturday, March 4. Soule Monde is avant funk born of the syncopated minds of power drummer Russ Lawton and organ wizard Ray Paczkowski. The “duo” is cemented into an indestructible unit, where bold improvisational leaps are interpreted telepathically and reciprocated effortlessly. Paczkowski has an intrepid ability to simultaneously tame the Hammond B3 and clavinet, filling Soule Monde's sound with beautiful and dynamic melodies. Lawton is the consummate ‘pocket’ drummer, driving the groove further without ever losing a step, or Ray. This is the jazz-duo your parents warned you about.
Mike Maurice with John Hughes Radio and Bad Combo
Friday, March 3, 2023
All Ages
Door 7 / Show 8 / $10-$13
Rescheduled from December 16, 2022 • All tickets honored • MIKE MAURICE is a singer/songwriter, and multi-instrumentalist based in Biddeford, Maine. With soulful tones inspired by John Mayer and layered with the earthy vibe of Bon Iver, Fleet Foxes, and Gregory Alan Isakov, you experience a sound that is described as soothing, with a range of energetic tendies. Couple this with melancholy undertones and songs about grieving, loss, love, and the inner dialogue that many can relate to in isolation of the pandemic, and this is the sound of Mike Maurice. ••• JOHN HUGHES RADIO ~ Built on a deep shared love of playing music, pizza, and laughter, John Hughes Radio’s #1 is keeping all things and times fun. Offering one of the best dance-rock experiences in Maine, with players that bring a more realized and technical skill to their performance. With a new record on the horizon, and with a more up-tempo driving sound they’re bound to provide more than just a normal rock show experience. ••• BAD COMBO delivers original songs blending elements of Punk, Funk, Ska and Rock.
