portBOWIE is Maine’s premier homage to the music of David Bowie. It’s not a band that stresses the visuals and costumes; rather, this band focuses on Bowie’s MUSIC, diving deep and bringing out the essence of his songs, whether it’s a big hit or a deep cut.
2026 will mark the 10th anniversary of the release of “Blackstar” and the 50thanniversary of the release of “Station to Station,” so shows in 2026 will include a complete end-to-end performance of “Blackstar” and all of the songs from “Station to Station” – two albums that Bowie stated were his favorite to listen back to. For these performances they will have some special guests, including Adam Montminy on Tenor Saxophone and Sean Slaughter (The Masterstroke Queen Experience and John Hughes Radio) on vocals.
In 2015, singer Mat Zaro was invited to assemble a group for a battle of the bandsplaying David Bowie’s music. That band included drummer Luc Bergeron. It went so well that Mat approached Luc about forming a permanent group. In January of 2017, this new group, at the time named “The Blackstar White Duke Band,” played Bowie’s last album, “Blackstar,” in its entirety, gaining admiration and respect fromlive audience members and YouTube commenters from around the world.
Zaro and Bergeron co-lead the group, which was renamed portBOWIE in 2018; other members are Scott Hughes and Jerry Perron on guitars, Jim Goss on keyboards, Stu Mahan on bass, and Andrew Doody on saxophones. They’ve performed themed shows through the years and have done full performances of the albums “Ziggy Stardust,” “The Man Who Sold the World,’ “Liveandwell.com,” “Stage,” “Station to Station,” “Hunky Dory,” and “Blackstar,” to the enjoyment of audiences in Maine, New Hampshire, and Massachusetts.
