Glen Dubose is a noted & long respected Bass Master here in the Midcoast. From his days with Greg McGowan in Mr. Whoopie, and founding the Nasty Band, riding shotgun with the Blind Albert Blues Band to stewarding Catcha Vibe Reggae for over a decade he has been in it to help the people dance. We are happy to feature some of his Originals in our shows as well as his interpretations of his favorite tunes as well!
Both Will & Mike will be performing original songs they play with their full band The Midnight Riders & any of a wide variety of their favorite Roots songs. Their song writing influences are a mix of personal favorites (spanning old 1920s Country & Blues, 1950s & 60s Soul, 1970s & 80s Working Class numbers, 1970s-present day Alt. Country & Maine artists, current songwriters Jason Isbell, Mallett Brothers & The Coloradas. With an appreciation of the particular styles maintained by songwriters like Steve Earle, Bruce Springsteen, Townes Van Zandt & Elvis Costello. While Mike Cole holds down all guitar responsibilities, both Will & Mike sing the tunes.
