King Memphis reigns
King Memphis will entertain at 7 p.m. Sept. 24 at Conant Homestead, 89 Conant St.
“Well known in Maine for decades, King Memphis is our premier Rockabilly band,” according to a post on the Conant Homestead Facebook page.
They have opened for B.B. King, Night Ranger and Little Feat and as a back up band for Dale Hawkins, Ronnie Dawson, Sonny West and Joe Clay.
King Memphis “delivers the major energy that can make a pig dance. They will get you up and shaking,” the Facebook post said.
Band members include Matthew Robins (guitar, vocals), Kris Eckhardt (vocals, guitar), Kris Day (upright bass) and David Ragsdale (drums).
The farm opens at 6 p.m. and the suggested donation is $10, with all proceeds going to the musicians. All concerts are bring-your-own food, drink and chairs. Events are held on a large lawn, so bug spray is recommended.
Concerts continue at Conant Homestead through Oct. 20.
