This is the time get your bluegrass fix– a night soaking up great music from the Steep Canyon Rangers! The band is stoked to be playing the Opera House again, on August 22nd:

 “Each night we play is completely unique. The show we put on at the Opera House (which we love) will be very different from the show we put on the night before, and very different from the show we put on the night after. We take pride in being sensitive and quick on our feet so that we can react to how Boothbay Harbor feels on that particular night and create a show that’s genuinely unique and special for everybody in the room. Hopefully (and usually), listeners take away the feeling that we all created something special together.”

-Barret Smith (bass, guitar, vocals)

Scott Elliot may be best known as the bass player for The Boneheads, The Holy Mackerels and the Scotty River Trio, among others – but he’s also a painter. An exhibit of his work is in our gallery on the 2nd floor from early January through the Spring. The exhibit is open Tuesday-Friday from 10am – 2 pm, and anytime that the Opera House is open for an evening performance. All artwork is available for sale. The Opera House does not have an elevator.
