The Sandy River Ramblers plan to present a Lakeside Orchard Summer Concert Series bluegrass concert at 6 p.m. Saturday, June 24, the orchard, at 318 Readfield Road in Manchester.

The Ramblers are a uniquely Maine-flavored bluegrass band; their most recent 2 CDs, “Cry of the Loon” and “Home in the Heart of Maine,” feature songs about Maine exclusively. Stan Keach, the band’s chief songwriter, is a nationally known bluegrass songwriter, as well as a published poet and an inducted member of the Maine Country Music Hall of Fame.

The Ramblers also boast 3-and-4-part harmony singing, and the lead vocals of Keach and bassist Julie Davenport, who Keach says is “the best bluegrass lead singer in Maine,” according to a news release from the band.

The instrumental playing of banjoist Bud Godsoe, fiddler Brendan Hickey, and mandolinist Bobby St. Pierre also are featured by the band, which mixes serious and poignant songs with sidesplitting comedy numbers.

The outdoor concert area has a few picnic tables, but attendees are advised to bring lawn chairs or picnic blankets (as well as picnics, snacks and beverages). Snacks will be available in the orchard store.

Admission will cost $12 for adults, free admission for people 12 years old or younger.

For more information, call Keach at 207-397-2241 or Lakeside Orchard at 207-622-2479.
