The UUCB Concerts for a Cause series presents the local favorite bluegrass band, Pejepscot Station, on Saturday, January 17th at the Unitarian Universalist Church of Brunswick, 1 Middle Street, Brunswick to raise money for local charities.
Based in the village of Pejepscot (in Topsham, ME), Pejepscot Station has performed throughout southern Maine since forming in 2011. Their repertoire is a mix of traditional and contemporary bluegrass, Americana, and some “bluegrassified” folk and country songs. Wide vocal harmonies and an informal and relaxed stage presence make for an enjoyable and fun show appropriate for all.
The idea of a band started in 1972 when Satch and Ren, then in high school, began noodling around with the banjo and guitar. Later in 1977 during their college days, “Lonesome” Jim joined up with Ren, and the pair performed at a couple venues. Fast forward to July 4th, 2011 (34 years later!), Ren, Satch and Jim played for another unpaid gig at the July 4th lobster bake in Pejepscot and decided to get the band back together.
In the spring of 2013 a new bass player, Cherie, joined Pejepscot Station, adding her considerable talent and abundant joy to the band. Her outstanding bass playing is coupled with her singing of lead and harmony vocals. In 2019, Russ Donahue joined and added depth to the band with his crisp mandolin and guitar work, and his harmony and lead vocals.
Audiences feel right at home and always enjoy the great music and silly banter. The fun the band has is contagious. Pejepscot Station gets your toes tapping, gets you laughing, and plants a song or two in your head for the trip home.
