"Clark's music is right up there with her mentors. Joni, Rickie and Bonnie, move over. Make room for Anni ..." - NEW ENGLAND PERFORMER MAGAZINE
I trust you all had a safe but fun Halloween... I know I did! I spent an unusually warm moonlit evening with a friend I hadn't seen in years... we spontaneously found ourselves in the Old Port section of Portland (Maine)... she in a blonde wig with cowboy hat, myself in a leopard-like cat ears headband & a flashing medallion around my neck. Who knew there were so many new places in town to discover? And too much fun on the streets & in the clubs. We were thankful we got to turn the clocks back when we woke on Sunday... And now it's November... OMG. Cold air & early darkness... holidays around the bend. It goes too fast doesn't it? Well, there's still time to breathe & get out there for some relaxed, no pressure evenings of entertainment. As you will see, my schedule will begin to get "thinner" with the oncoming cooler months & the change in venues' scheduling strategies. That said, it seems my first show this month has sold out! The first ever Roos Hill House Concert in Freeport on Friday, November 6th has taken all the reservations it can take! However, in the event that somebody can't make it, the gals hosting the event are keeping a "wait list." So read below, e-mail if you still want to come, & cross your fingers. In addition, count on coming the NEXT time we do this! Just book early. Here's what follows: 1. TARGET GIGS (Comin' Right Up!) 2. FULL PERFORMANCE SCHEDULE 1. TARGET GIGS FRIDAY / NOVEMBER 6 / ROOS HILL HOUSE CONCERT / FREEPORT ME... Pot luck dinner @ 6:30pm, Concert @ 8pm... $10 donation goes to the artist (yours truly.) Reserve ahead by e-mail at maryellen.carew@att.net. As stated above, the seats available are now sold out... however, some folks might have to bail last minute, so feel free to e-mail to be put on the waiting list OK? FRIDAY / NOVEMBER 13 / JJ'S / OOB ME / 6PM / 207-934-0222... OK, so this friend of mine had been telling me how cool this place was for, like, forever... & it took me all summer to get down there to check it out. I wish I had gone sooner. I have played twice since & have made a pact to play once a month, the first Friday whenever possible. I really dig the casual, friendly atmosphere, the very affordable food & beverage menu & the enthusiasm of all the staff... who, by the way, are all family members or are related in some special way if not by blood. I'm talkin' a real down home spot with spunk & attitude & open arms for all. JJ's is real close to the Pier & right next door to "Pier Fries" & the railroad tracks... (I have a thing about trains, so you KNOW I am at home here!) SATURDAY / NOVEMBER 21 / THE SCHOOL AROUND US CRAFTS FAIR / KENNEBUNK ME / 1PM / 207-967-3143... at the High School... this is a fundraiser for "The School Around Us"... I performed at this awesome event last year & I was quite impressed & honored to be part of it... many students, parents & craftsmen/women are involved... you could honestly get ALL of your Christmas shopping done here, while supporting a great cause... there's food & fun AND you can hear yours truly all at the same time! Check their website [here]. WEDNESDAY / DECEMBER 2 / UNITY COLLEGE / UNITY ME / 8PM / 207-948-3131... I try to get up to Unity at least once a year... off the beaten path for sure, but well worth the visit every time. I perform in the very intimate & friendly Student Center... mostly students but open to the public... & YES! They make good pizzas & calzones, & they pour a very tasty selection of beers (& other beverages.) The campus is small, the students and faculty are very "green" at heart... & I always enjoy singing here. Check 'em out [here]. SATURDAY / DECEMBER 5 / NEW GLOUCESTER VILLAGE COFFEE HOUSE / NEW GLOUCESTER ME / 7:30PM... I haven't performed at The Village Coffee House in years. It's going to feel like a homecoming of sorts. I remember it is enthusiastically community supported & very warm & intimate. The Coffee House is in the New Gloucester Congregational Church at 19 Gloucester Hill Road (at the intersection of Church and Gloucester Hill Roads in the Lower Village of New Gloucester.) Tickets are available at the door: Adults $10 / Children and Seniors $5. I understand there is a pie auction during the break! COOL... For more information, contact Julie Fralich at 207-926-3161 or the church office at 207-926-3260. Check 'em out [here]. I hope I see some of you out & about in the coming weeks. If you're in need of some Christmas ideas... take a look at "the Anni Store" [here]. Heck, maybe you've lost one of those CD's (or cassettes or LP's?) & you need to replace it, right? Please know that I am always appreciative of your wanting to know where I am & what's happening with my music. As winter creeps in, I expect I'll find a few more opportunities to perform up here in the Northeast corner... & of course, I'll keep you posted. Travel Well, think green, & take time to smile along the way. The gig schedule will follow. Peace,
