Edward Sharpe and the Magnetic Zeros Played the State Theater (Portland, Maine) - Photos / Pictures / Review - 6.9.2013

It had been a little over a year since the last time I saw Edward Sharpe and the Magnetic Zeros, and this time was equally as magical.  The evening started off with Edward Sharpe and the Magnetic Zeros opening for themselves, playing a little acoustic set that featured covers “Get Back” (Beatles) and “All I Really Want To Do” (Bob Dylan).   The band then played a two hour set similar to this recent setlist, and played the song “Better Days” from their upcoming album.

The band is set to release their new self-titled record July 23rd, and are continuing to tour through the fall (dates).

The Nines Music & Art Festival (Explosions in the Sky, Delta Spirt, and More)

The first ever Boston Calling festival was a success.  Such a success, they announced Boston Calling 2 to take place in September.  It’s no secret that Boston is one of the best markets for concerts, so it was only a matter of time before another area festival was announced.

Meet the Boston area’s newest music festival - The Nines.  This one day music and art event will take place August 10th in Devens, MA and will feature Explosions in the Sky, Delta Spirit and more.  Early bird tickets will go on sale this Friday at 10am.

Additional information regarding the festival can be found below. 

The NINES, New England’s newest music and arts festival, a multi-stage, multi-arts summer festival will present a diverse lineup of nationally touring and emerging artists. The all ages event will also feature comedy, art installations, exhibits, interactive art projects, crafts, tasty food and beverages and more.

Sited on the twenty-acre manicured athletic grounds of Willard Field in Devens, MA, The NINES is conveniently accessed directly off of Route 2, and under an hour drive from Greater Boston and southern New Hampshire and only 90 minutes from the Pioneer Valley. Gates will open at Noon on Saturday, August 10th and music starts at 1:00 PM.

The NINES attendees will enjoy a lineup of mixed musical styles represented by Explosions in the Sky, Delta Spirit, Walk Off The Earth, Shuggie Otis, Kid Koala and many more on two stages with no overlapping sets, while a mix of the region’s best emerging to established comedians will take up residence under the “Stitch” comedy tent, curated by Harvard Square’s The Comedy Studio and hosted by the Comedy Studio’s impresario Rick Jenkins. A 21+beer garden will provide a selection of beer and wine.

“Our mission is to bring attention to the breadth of artistic talent in our region, bring top-tier bands to our area and build on this year after year,” says Monica Hinojos, Executive Director of Ayer-based 3Rivers Arts, co-producer of the NINES. “We want to introduce audiences to Central Massachusetts as a hub of artistic talent, and hopefully, a regular summer tour stop for their favorite bands. Our vision is for a happy side-effect of the NINES to be a cultural and economic boost for the area as well.”

A limited number of early bird tickets and “Patron of the Arts” VIP tickets priced will go on sale Friday, June 7th, at 10AM at the Acton, Mass.
