KINGFIELD — On Saturday, June 24 , Kingfield will host an outdoor concert featuring with the Bangor Symphony Orchestra conducted by Grammy winner Lucas Richman, accompanied by Sultans of Sting and featuring Maine’s own Ghost of Paul Revere.

Audiences can expect to hear the welcoming sounds of the Western Mountain Trash Can Band at the gate, followed on stage by local talent Lula Wiles – a trio of young women who bring a spirited show that resonates like a “whisky slap to the heart.”

Performing earlier in the program this year, the Bangor Symphony Orchestra will deliver a powerful musical experience to be enjoyed by all generations of music lovers. World class musical collaboration will once again be on stage when the Sultans of String and BSO join together to bring music delights to the field.

Following a brief intermission, New England’s own Jason Spooner band will be appearing for the first time with the quartet delivering an interesting signature sound with wide appeal.

Back after rave reviews at  the 2016 concert,  Ghost of Paul Revere, Maine’s’ holler-folk band will bring powerful, energetic nontraditional American folk music to the field and will later be joined by the Maine Youth Rock Orchestra for a musical extravaganza.

Fireworks  will mark the end of the evening’s festivities.
