ALI WARREN: OPEN MIC FEATURED ARTIST
Our Open Mic Night has really taken off, so we’ve decided to use this platform to highlight some of our favorite local acts.
This week our featured artist is Ali Warren!
Ali Warren is a Singer/Songwriter originally from Nashville.
She has a unique sound, blending elements of Pop, Rock, and R&B into one. Her silky smooth melodies, soulful rasp, and punchy lyrics set her apart from the crowd.
She’s spent most of her life going back and forth between coastal Maine and the south, with music always being at the center of it all.

PIRATE NIGHT w/ THE SHANK PAINTERS
Every fourth Friday we welcome the Shank Painters to our tasting room to fill our hearts with nautical folk tunes and sea shanties! This extremely talented quartet really know how to put on a show and always arrive with props, costumes, and a great sense of humor. There’s a reason why they have a monthly residency at Hi-Fidelity—you should come find out for yourself!
INTERACTIVE: Groove space with space fog
Join us every 2nd and 4th Saturday of the month 1pm-4pm at hi-fidelity (200 Anderson Street, Bay 6 Portland, Maine) Get to know your fellow musicians as we have a casual afternoon jam catered to all levels of experience. We will groove on simple digestible forms ranging anywhere from 1 chord to a 4 chord loop. Are we on the verse or the chorus? It doesn’t matter because each jam has a simple, repetitive, and predictable progression (we’re not even going to take it to the bridge). Respect your musical neighbors and leave space for the group to listen to each other and create something unique in the moment.

WHITNEY WALKER // WILL BRADFORD (SEEPEOPLES)
Whitney Walker's (@whitneywalkermusic) band plays psychedelic gutter blues with southern gothic undertones in the vein of Tom Waits, Nick Cave, R.E.M., Pavement, Califone and many others. Walker recorded his last record, A Dog Staring into a MIrror on the Floor, during quarantine with a host of close friends in the Portland, Maine area and from years spent playing music around the country. These musicians include Dana Colley(Morphine, Vapors of Morphine), Will Bradford(SeePeoples, theWorst), Dan Capaldi(Sea Level, Cambiatta), Robert Mitchell(Moby, Today's the Day), and many others. When the pandemic ended the band started playing live in earnest. They have played regional shows in New England for the past two years and are working diligently on their second record, Duh, with a host of friends and collaborators.
Will Bradford has been playing anti genre music and touring nationally in SeePeoples for coming up on 25 years. He plays bass in theWorst, guitar, keyboards and backing vocals in Sparxsea, and when he is not doing that he is busy booking bands, promoting and marketing bands, running various record labels and social causes and championing many bands in the local Portland, ME music scene. His bands have performed and recorded with too many luminaries to name.

DAVE NAYBOR: OPEN MIC FEATURED ARTIST
Our Open Mic Night has really taken off, so we’ve decided to use this platform to highlight some of our favorite local acts.

”Manchester, Maine, gateway to Winthrop, is where dave naybor was raised in the woods by wolves.
He began becoming dave naybor after college, in the mid eighties.
In the nineties and oughts, he played with Portland’s myopic folk group Go Button. They were great.
In the late teens, dave began experimenting with solo works. Something went on in 2020 that gave everyone a bit of downtime. Songwriting occurred and continues to this day (well, yesterday. Haven’t done anything today)
dave naybor is also at 40 years selling comic books to Portland, the last 22 at Casablanca Comics.
he wrote, drew and self-published 750 pages of a graphic novel, Walking Christendom, and has sewn over 100 short-sleeved shirts.”

SYMPOSIUM
Symposium: fellow drinker, from the Greek "sun-" meaning together and "potēs" meaning drinker.
What is it? An opportunity to gather and discuss the world we live in with friends and strangers, to explore new ideas, and uncover our own biases.
How does it work? We'll democratically elect a topic and explore the idea. The format will vary with participation but essentially everyone will get a chance to speak on the topic and to ask further questions.
What kind of topics? Anything and everything! Examples include, "What is a just war?" Or "Is art unique to the human animal?", or "What does it mean to have lived a good life?"
Conversations will be lightly moderated, but only to keep the tone one of congenial dialogue.
