Music Lineup

  • Hayley Jane Band

    Hayley Jane has been touring nationally for more than a decade and is known for her charismatic performances. Hayley pulls inspiration from 60s + 70s rock, folk, blues, soul, psychedelic funk, & bluegrass. Hayley and her new band bring her theatrical humor and passion to the stage, reawakening their audiences to their wild side! www.hayleyjane.com

  • King Kyote

    King Kyote is a songwriting force to be reckoned with. Kyote’s fiery live performances and lyrical prowess were on full display representing his home state of Maine on NBC’s American Song Contest in 2022. King is gearing up for a big fall tour in 2024, and we are lucky to have him at Big Falls! https://www.kingkyote.com/

  • Love By Numb3rs

    LBN’s original songwriting features reflective storytelling set within an indie aesthetic shaded by cosmic Americana. Their 2022 album, Earth Needs A Moon, whisks the listener beyond the stratosphere for some vintage psychedelia. The band is an atmospheric, nostalgia-laced vocal harmony group for modern times. LBN is lead by powerhouse vocalist Anna Lombard and multi-instrumentalist Jon Roods (Rustic Overtones). https://www.facebook.com/LOVEBYNUMB3RS/about

  • A Band Beyond Description (BBD)

    BBD is one of Maine’s most beloved Grateful Dead bands! This professorial collective of musicians brings the Dead’s music back alive in an authentic and transportive way. BBD is the only band who has played all three years of Big Falls!

  • Silver Heels

    Silver Heels is a folk rock band making waves in the Portland music scene. Their self-titled debut album is an exploration of introspective narratives set in the backdrop of the bands’ coastal roots. Keys, bass, and drums meld to create a powerful undertow while horns, guitars, and harmonies howl in the high rigging. https://www.silverheelstheband.com/

  • Becca Biggs

    Playing banjo and guitar, vocalist Becca Biggs has been making a name for herself in Maine for over eight years. Her country influences and twangy vocals betray her Tennessee roots. Becca’s 2022 debut solo album called Genie assembled a team of all-star Maine musicians including J.R. Braugh, Jake Greenlaw (Toughcats), and Zack Bence (Love By Numb3rs). Combined with folk, rock, and alternative influences, Biggs and her band have created a sound that is both muscular and enveloping. Don’t be fooled by the unassuming, laid-back personality; Biggs can rock, and you may quickly find yourself out of your chair! https://www.beccabiggs.com/

We’re building a STAGE!

In partnership with the Fiddlehead School in Gray, we are proud to announce that we are building a stage! This outdoor pavilion will be used year round as an outdoor classroom for the Fiddlehead School. Fiddlehead’s innovative outdoor education program has been visiting Norumbega Cidery for years, offering students a practical application for their learning in the natural arts and sciences.
