Live Music- Plague Dad, My Druthers, Troy Bennett

Connecticut's My Druthers storm into Novel with their electrifying blend of high-spirited Sea Chanteys, Celtic anthems, and rabble-rousing, working-class acoustic punk. Equal parts dockside harmony and downtown swagger, their sound is built for raised pints and full-throated singalongs. Come out ready to stomp, shout, and feel the floorboards shake.

Troy R. Bennett, frontman for Celtic-American band Bailey's Mistake, sings songs of the sea and celebrates rabble-rousing, working-class heroes from Maine's woods and rocky coastline. All of Bennett's songs are suitable for drinking, dancing, and singing along whilst drinking and dancing

Portland’s own Plague Dad fuses a front-porch hoot vibe with hardcore urgency, channeling Woodie Guthrie’s plain spoken grit with Black Flag’s raw nerve. The result is a stripped down, working-class, punk sound that hits hard and fast, sings loud, and lingers long after the last chord has faded away.
