Maine based blues duo Red Beans & Rice returns to the Meetinghouse with Dave Rawson, drummer extraordinaire and Mark Wainer, lead guitarist for the Peter Gallway Band.

Red Beans and Rice is an acoustic duo playing an entertaining and engaging mix of blues, old and new.  Mr. Rice (Carter Ruff) plays slide guitar and has been known to howl at the moon.  “Red” Beans (Dave Hunt) is a gentler fellow with a touch on the guitar that is sweetly complex, and a voice as smooth as butter on a slow burn.

Mr. Hunt is the proprietor  – and Mark Wainer the knowledgeable manager – of Vinylhaven Records and Finest Kind Electronics in Brunswick, Maine where you can peruse and spend every dollar you have on fine vintage audio gear – turntables, radios and more! – and records — both vinyl and shellac. Mr. Hunt can also bee seen performing with the Blues Buzzards.

Mr. Ruff is also the luthier behind Subterranean Music Works in Bath, Maine, where he builds fine custom guitars. Both “Red” Beans and Rice play one-of-a-kind guitars built at Subterranean Music Works. Mr. Ruff also plays guitar, mandolin and clarinet in the Half Moon Jug Band.

You can hear Mark playing with Peter Gallway and Red Beans and Rice at CD Baby.

Doors open at 6 PM, show starts at 7 PM. $10 in advance, $15 at the door. Dinner option this week is a bourbon mustard bbq brisket with a side of potatoes, and more for just $18 (includes tax & tip).
