George Birge in Bangor
Maine Savings Amphitheater security opened the doors at 5:58pm and effectively and efficiently got the eager and excited crowd of concertgoers inside the venue in time to catch the beginning of George Birge’s set.
The Texan most known for his hit “Mind on You” definitely left us with our minds on him. We were already anticipating Birge’s return to the Bangor Waterfront after he closed with his latest single, “Cowboy Songs.”
George Birge and Jordan Verge
While George Birge took time to take photos with as many fans as possible including our very own Jordan Verge, Corey Kent hit the stage and continued the theme of the evening of bringing the Texas party to the great state of Maine.

Kent belted out hits like “Wild as Her” and “Something’s Gonna Kill me” while playing his new single, “This Heart” to all Mainers’ delight. The energy in the venue was at peak levels as Kent made way for the first headliner of 2024 at Maine Savings Amphitheater, Parker McCollum.

The “Burn It Down” rising star burned it down in Bangor to officially launch the 2024 Waterfront Concerts. Burned it down metaphorically, of course, and thank goodness. Lots of work has been put into the Maine Savings Amphitheater and it SHOWS and SOUNDS. As someone who has been fortunate to see shows at venues all over the country, they do not get better than this.

There were a vast selection of drinks and food options with the best beers being offered. We never waited longer than 5-minutes for food or drinks. At one point there was a long line for one of the women’s restrooms, but it moved quickly. The staff at the amphitheater have clearly been prepped and trained to keep a crowd moving quickly and safely for everyone to enjoy their experience to the fullest.
Here are the shows coming up for this season’s epic Waterfront Concert Series in the new and improved Maine Savings Amphitheater!

The Maine Immigrants’ Rights Coalition says over the past two weeks its immigrant defense hotline has seen an uptick in reported ICE detentions.
They say this corresponds with a national shift in ICE activity, including bids for local businesses to cooperate with ICE.
In Maine, the arrests follow a broader trend of targeting Black and brown immigrants, including people navigating immigration proceedings.
The coalition, which represents more than 100 organizations, says it’s ready to protect civil and human rights and is urging immigrants to prepare themselves and their families.
BE THE FIRST TO COMMENT
They suggest having the defense hotline ready in case you witness ICE activity, making sure you have important personal documents in case of detention, and reviewing rights around judicial warrants in private spaces, like your home or workplace.
It wouldn’t be Mother’s Day without a stop at the florist.
According to Fox Business, about 154 million flowers are sold during the week of Mother’s Day. So it’s safe to say it was a busy day for stores like Estabrook’s Maine Garden Center and Nursery.
Plenty of families stopped by to pick out flowers on Sunday, looking to choose the perfect bouquet for their moms.
“I think Mother’s Day is tradition, you know, and so it’s great to see families here. We have a lot of new families that have come today for the first time with their young children and their mother. Watching the young kids and seeing how excited they are—their eyes light up at all the beautiful flowers,” Tom Estabrook, president of Estabrook’s, said.
Estabrook says Mother’s Day tends to be a great kickoff to the spring season.
