Julia Lane and Fred Gosbee have been performing together since 1986 for folk clubs, concert series, libraries and festivals from Cape Breton to Florida, Ireland, and the United Kingdom. They are well-known in the mid-coast area for their sensitive arrangements of traditional songs and their original compositions. Julia has a clear soprano voice which has been compared to Jean Redpath and she is a skilled player on the Celtic harp. Fred has a warm baritone voice and plays (mostly) 14-string guitar, occasionally swapping that for Irish flute or viola to accompany Julia.

When not performing Julia is gardening or researching archives of songs collected in Maine in preparation for volume 2 of Bygone Ballads of Maine, while Fred splits his time between building another 14-string guitar and volunteering on the Virginia, a reproduction of the first English ship built in North America (Popham, Maine, 1607).

Tickets are $25 at the door with credit cards accepted. For more information, call 207-701-7627, or email <a href="mailto:sailpowersteammuseum@gmail.com">sailpowersteammuseum@gmail.com.
