BETHEL – The Denny Breau Trio will play at 7 p.m. Sunday, Aug. 1, on the Common as part of the Bethel Bandstand Concerts. This is later than the usual time for these concerts.

This musically eclectic trio, led by Lewiston native Denny Breau on guitar and vocals, is a blend of country, bluegrass, rock, blues and jazz. Breau, who has performed throughout New England and the United States, is a recent inductee into Maine’s Country Music Hall of Fame.
