It's so hard to believe that this Wednesday, Aug 12th is the last concert of the series. We are going out with a bang with our headliner Undercover! Southern Maine’s premier party band delivers high-energy performances and a hit-packed song list spanning decades. From Van Morrison and The Beatles to The Clash and Weezer, their tight harmonies, incredible sound, and fun stage presence keep dance floors full and crowds singing along. Undercover brings the party and leaves audiences wanting more.

Opener: Jerry Leavitt of South Berwick is an accomplished singer/guitarist who plays a mix of classic acoustic tunes and beautifully crafted originals.

Weather is looking good for Wednesdsay so join us at Showtown park at 6:00pm. Get your dinner from the VFW and as always, free popsicles from SoBo Central!
