Annual Ice Cream Social with the Newell Family Band and Oyster Creek Fiddlers
Come celebrate 15 years of Sheepscot General with free ice cream and special musical guests The Newell Family Band & The Oyster Creek Fiddlers, Friday, June 19, from 5-8pm. We'll provide the ice cream and a few toppings; bring your own topping to share if you'd like. The last hour will be a called dance - our first dance on the lawn!
The Oyster Creek Fiddlers, students of Kaity Newell, were formed over 20 years ago and have been playing for community events and barn dances across mid-coast Maine ever since. The group is constantly evolving as young fiddlers grow up and head out into the world with their music. Some of the original Oyster Creek Fiddlers are enjoying illustrious fiddling careers. Famous alumni include Julia Plumb, Alden Robinson, and Maisie Newell. The Oyster Creek Fiddlers' repertoire is rooted in the fiddling tradition of Maine and the Maritimes with elements of Scots-Irish, Quebecois, and Scandinavian music. The Oyster Creek Fiddlers have released one album and are working on a second.
The Newell Family Band is a three-generational fiddling family, with a musical repertoire rooted in the fiddling traditions of Maine.
