portBOWIE is Maine’s premier homage to the music of David Bowie. It’s

not a band that stresses the visuals and costumes; rather, this band

focuses on Bowie’s MUSIC, diving deep and bringing out the essence of

his songs, whether it’s a big hit or a deep cut.


In 2015, singer Mat Zaro was invited to assemble a group for a battle of

the bands playing David Bowie’s music. It went so well that he

approached drummer Luc Bergeron about forming a permanent group.

In January of 2017, this new group, at the time named “The Blackstar

White Duke Band,” played Bowie’s last album, “Blackstar,” in its

entirety, gaining respect from YouTube commenters from around the

world.


Zaro and Bergeron co-lead the group, which was renamed portBOWIE

in 2018; other members include Scott Hughes and Jerry Perron on

guitars, Jim Goss on keyboards, Jason Marshall on bass, and Andrew

Doody on saxophones. They’ve performed themed shows through the

years, and have done full performances of the albums “Ziggy Stardust,”

“The Man Who Sold the World,’ “Liveandwell.com,” “Stage,” “Station

to Station,” “Hunky Dory,” and “Blackstar.”
