Leeward Rail to play at upcoming Lighthouse Celebration

On July 19th, Leeward Rail will be performing at the 200th anniversary celebration of West Quoddy Head Lighthouse in Lubec, Maine. This is the easternmost point of land in the United States, and holds special meaning for me since my great grandfather, Almond Maker, was the Officer in Charge of that facility back in the 1930's. My great uncle, Sid, Almond's son, was much revered in our immediate family and was well known and respected there in Lubec. Our special concert will be in their memory.

If you're down east--as far down east as you can get!-- stop in at Quoddy. It's absolutely gorgeous down there. The celebration runs from July 19th to the 26th.
