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.
Poetry Night
We’ve had poems and short stories read at our popular music open mic, so we decided we should open up an evening dedicated to prose and other writing forms. Our artist community is open to all kinds, so wont you come share your work with us?
Every 2nd & 4th Sunday from 7pm - 10pm. Sign up sheet drops at 6:30pm.
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.

Russell Kaback w/ Melvin Gradiz

His full-bodied performances feature his strong and nuanced voice, and his agile and surprising guitar playing - all in service of carrying his truthful and solidly-built lyrics. His renditions of tunes by such influences as Sam Cooke, Talking Heads, and Madonna make sense in the mix with his own acoustic soul originals. Since first playing out in 1988, he has taken the stage alongside Regina Spektor, Caribbean folk-reggae legend Bankie Banx, and Raul Midon. Russell is currently performing in support of his new single, “What A Life This Is”, an uplifting and life-affirming soulful pop song.
