Listen up entertainment and music lovers, there’s a new
place to be in Maine for the best in up-and-coming and hot musical acts —
Thursday Night Live @ The Daniel. It kicked off this spring and is hosted by
the hotel’s Coast Bar + Bistro. The Daniel has already etched itself into local
performance lore with its musical hits, no cover charge for shows and food and
drink specials. The crowds are growing and musicians are clamoring in line to
be a part.
If you haven’t been out to witness the music event that
has set Brunswick singing then don’t miss this week’s special Thursday Night
Live @ The Daniel performance and extended three-day weekend of music with singer/songwriter
Lauren Crosby on July 10 and the popular Gillen & Turk in for a special two-night stand on July 11 & July 12.
Fred Gillen Jr. and Matt Turk have been showcasing their
vaunted blend of folk, rock and instrumentation up and down the Northeast since
their 2008 CD debut “Backs to the Wall.” The multi-instrumental pair harmonize
in song and feature guitar, bass, mandolin and an instrument bag-of-tricks that
has brought them widespread acclaim and a loyal following. It’s their first
stop at the Coast Bar + Bistro and their popularity warranted a special
two-night stay.
Crosby is a perfect example of what makes Thursday Night
Live @ The Daniel so great and she kicks off this special three-day weekend of
music with the 6 p.m. to close Thursday night slot. She is a rising folkie bluesy singer/songwriter from
Georgetown Island, Maine, who has been compared to legendary singers such as
Janis Joplin and Edie Brickell. Fans have lauded her music for being real, raw
and poetic. The Daniel is thrilled to offer a platform for a local talent like
Crosby and also give a real treat to audiences who have never seen her
wonderful voice on display before — and a welcome return to those that have
already fallen in love with her sound.
Musicians are
not the only stars of the show for Thursday Night Live @ The Daniel. The Coast
Bar + Bistro is also in the spotlight and brings its “music” to the mouths of
Thursday’s revellers with a mouthwatering spate of cuisine and drink specials.
Great Thursday night deals include $4 draft beers, $3 bottled beers, $4 house
wines and $5 mini tacos.
The Coast Bar
+ Bistro was recently rebranded, renovated and expanded with new interior
décor, a bigger bar, additional seating and a capacity of 80 people. The
bar features some of the region’s finest micro-brewed beers, hand-picked wines,
and Brunswick’s largest selection of cocktails. The bistro offers a range of appetizers, sandwiches, salads,
signature pizzas and entrees. Menus change throughout the year and feature
cheeses, organic meats, produce and seafood from farmers and fishermen in
Maine.
As part of the Troca Hotels collection, The Daniel is
Maine’s newest lifestyle luxury hotel, and Thursday Night Live @ The Daniel
also draws on the strength and tradition of Thursday Night Live @ The Sofala, a Trocal Hotels property in Goa, India.
Thursday Night Live @ The Sofala, which has been running strong for several years and over 100 shows, is
credited with changing the game for the entertainment scene in Goa; artists
from across India and around the world visit the hotel to perform and jam with
the house band, Smoking Chutney.
Recent performances have featured such well-known acts as Gypsy Kings, Chrystal Farrell, Gary Lawyer and Ricardo Vogt.
Thursday Night Live was created to provide guests of
Troca Hotels properties, such as The Daniel and The Sofala, with a vibrant and
unique experience, as well as turn the hotels into local and authentic social
hotspots. This strategy scored big at The Sofala and the early returns are
hitting top marks at The Daniel also.
Thursday Night Live @ The Daniel launched on March 29
with Eric Worthing, lead singer from Worthy Bones, performing a reggae-infused acoustic show, flavored by the sounds of the
Grateful Dead and Sublime with his own jams and funky style of guitar playing.
Other featured acts have included:
singer/songwriter/guitarist Aaron Nadeau,
singer/guitarist Joe Gallant and an unplugged solo blues, bluegrass and
country performance by Will Mallett of the award-winning Mallet Brothers.
Rest assured that Thursday Night Live @ The Daniel will
only continue heat up and the best is yet to come, so hurry up and grab your
spot for the newest and most vibrant Thursday hotspot.
The subject of Hotels in Maine has been covered intensively by the world press over the past decade. Many an afternoon has been enjoyed by a family, bonding over the discussion of Hotels in Maine. While much has been written on its influence on contemporary living, spasmodically it returns to create a new passion amongst those who study its history. Inevitably Hotels in Maine is often misunderstood by the easily lead, who form the last great hope for our civilzation.
