Acadia

I checked out some things besides the North Atlantic
Music Festival, and I also found some other
interesting leads, including in the local punk-rock
department. I'll let you know more on Tuesday after
I've researched some more.

Also, there is a type of indigenous music from
northern Maine called Acadian music, obviously from
Acadia. It also turns out that this music is part of
my own heritage.

Most of the Acadian singers and musicians are older or
more private, and do not have any websites or e-mail
addresses to connect them to. However, after some
more searching, I found that there is a Freewil Folk
Society at Bates College in Lewiston, which isn't very
far from where we'd be staying. There is a General
Info. number to call, so maybe you could ask them
about any local Acadian musicians.
