UUCB Conccert Series: Devonsquare, Together Again!
July 25, 2015
7:30 pm
Unitarian Universalist Church of Brunswick

Devonsquare was founded in 1964 by three friends at Cheverus High School in Portland (Tom Rice, Steve Romanoff , and Herb Ludwig) At the time, the group was best known for songs from the folk movement of the sixties. Over the years, 16 musicians have been members of Devonsquare at one time or another. In the mid- seventies several band members gradually left the group to establish other professional acts. (The much acclaimed Schooner Fare was originally part of Devonsquare.) Herb Ludwig, Alana MacDonald, and Tom Dean remained together as Devonsquare, writing and playing folk pop music, earning a huge fan base and critical acclaim.

For thirty years these three talented singer songwriters from Maine and NH toured the US and Europe as well as releasing five CD’s. From the pubs and folk stages of the Northeast, they developed a devoted fan base that has followed them from coast to coast to hear their shimmering three part harmonies, superb musicianship, and award winning songs. They were commonly referred to as the #1 vocal group on the contemporary-folk music circuit.

Devonsquare in 1988 was signed by the major record label Atlantic Records , and the band’s debut single “Walking on Ice” — off an album of the same name — reached the top 20 in nationwide adult contemporary charts, and 1992’s follow-up record “Bye-bye Route 66” likewise garnered critical acclaim.
After the death of former band member Herb Ludwig in 2005, MacDonald and Dean took a 10 year hiatus from performing as Devonsquare. They continued, however, to perform at the annual Devonsquare Reunion, which started 35 years ago to raise money for local charities. They also performed with other groups occasionally, but they have recently decided to perform again as Devonsquare, joined by longtime bass guitarist Teg Glendon and guitarist Robby Coffin.
