  • Kelsey Wilson’s recommendation: “The only music I listen to most of the time is music that was made at least thirty years ago.

  • It had to start somewhere, and start it did. Kickstarted, in fact. First in the Darling’s Waterfront Pavilion 2013 line up, headliners Motley Crue shattered Bangor’s night sky May 16 with a show only this band can get away with.
