UUCB Concerts for a Cause will host Bold Riley on Saturday, February 4, 2023 at 7:30 p.m. at the Unitarian Universalist Church of Brunswick.

Concerts for a Cause brings special concerts to the Greater Brunswick area while raising money for local charities. This concert will benefit the Brunswick Area Teen Center and Maine Family Planning.

Bold Riley is a folk quintet hailing from western Maine and known for beautiful melodies and full vocal harmonies, uplifting originals, and a joyful reimagining of traditional tunes and covers. Fiddle, guitar, banjo, accordion, bass and percussion provide a wide range of instrumentation for listeners. Band members Michael Hayashida, John Gunn, Julia Edwards, Erin Sampson and Dennis Boyd take turns singing lead, and a strong sense of community drives the energy of their music.

In 2019, the band released their first full-length album, “Kinship,” which was recorded mixed, and mastered by Jud Caswell at Frog Hollow Studio. The album showcases a refined list of originals peppered with a few key covers. The result is truly Bold Riley: family, love, and hope.

As an added bonus, Jud Caswell, who is an award-winning singer-songwriter himself, will be joining Bold Riley for a couple numbers in the concert.

Tickets are $20 in advance and $25 at the door. Students/Children $10. Available at the church office, Guld of Maine Books, or online at https://ticketstripe.com/boldriley.
