Those summer nights

Summer is precious in Maine, and it has a way of passing you by if you aren't careful. So get out there and enjoy it while you can.

One upcoming highlight is a concert featuring Men at Work, Toad the Wet Sprocket, and Shonen Knife next Wednesday, July 29, at Maine Savings Amphitheater in Bangor. We recently caught up with Men at Work frontman Colin Hay about his life as a touring musician and his upcoming shows.

July 29 also marks the start of the Maine Lobster Festival in Rockland. Get the details here.
