LEWISTON – The Franco-American Heritage Center on Cedar Street will present Mac McHale and The Old-Time Radio Gang in concert at 7:30 p.m. Saturday, May 28.
The Gang performs traditional country bluegrass. Their mission is presenting vintage American country music from the 1930s and 1940s.
They present a rich and varied program that appeals to young and old with spirited fiddle tunes, gospel songs, train songs and ballads that tell tales of the Depression, heartbreak and love.
