Flashback to the summer of 2019 at Newport Folk Festival when I shot this footage of Dolly Parton singing "I Will Always Love You" WITH Brandi Carlile. I STILL can't believe it. www.youtube.com/watch?v=MR4R...

11 years ago today we lost Robin Williams. I wish he was still here.

MLM (memory lane moment). A year ago I interviewed Kathleen Turner for the Portland Press Herald and sometimes I still pinch myself. www.pressherald.com/2024/07/29/a...

I may have to MMMBop my way to Thompson's Point on Sunday for Guster on the Ocean. Hanson will be there AND Joy Oladokun. Plus, Guster's "Airport Song" is still a massive banger. Story here: www.pressherald.com/2025/08/04/g...

Truly, this is one of the happiest stories I've ever written. Musician Lucy Dacus married 3 couples on stage during her set at the Back Cove Music & Arts Festival in Portland, ME on Aug. 3. The entire thing was lovely and glorious. www.pressherald.com/2025/08/04/s...

Hell of an honor to interview #suzannvega for the @pressherald.com ! Here's the story: www.pressherald.com?p=7462836&uu...

This Steinway piano was played by David Bowie and Kate Bush. I sat at it a few weeks ago while visiting a recording studio in Dublin, Ireland.❤️♥️🇮🇪

Outdoor summer concert season in Maine starts this weekend, when hitmaker Avril Lavigne kicks things off at the Maine Savings Amphitheater in Bangor on Sunday.

Still 100% reeling over the news that Jill Sobule died in a house fire yesterday. Yes, life will go on. But it won't be the same. Gutted. Just gutted. www.youtube.com/watch?v=6yKq...

Saturday night I'm seeing the living legend ALISON MOYET in Boston. Whipped up a show prep playlist and my excitement is ratcheting up with each song. "All Cried Out" is on at the moment. That segued into Don't Go (Yaz) and those synths make my heart very happy. #alisonmoyet

It's a Tori Amos Boys for Pele kind of afternoon. Happy weekend one and all. xx

This Portland Maine man’s skill is one reason why recorded music sounds so good: Mastering engineer Adam Ayan. Nice article by @aimsel.bsky.social www.pressherald.com/2025/04/21/a...

I was so traumatized by the current episode of "The Last Of Us" that I had to watch "The Handmaid's Tale" to CHEER MYSELF UP. We are living in dark times, both in real life and the television landscape. p.s. no spoiler comments please to respect those who aren't caught up. xx

goodnight, y'all. be safe, be well, make good choices & i love u

Just heard that Roberta Flack died. "First Take" is quite an album. She's tremendous. Bless her. www.youtube.com/watch?v=wDUk...

Mainer Amy Allen wins Songwriter of the Year GRAMMY! Story here: www.pressherald.com/2025/02/02/a...

On this very day, Jan. 28, FORTY YEARS AGO, the single GREATEST alternative rock song I've ever known was released. I worship The Smiths (despite problematic present day Morrissey) and these six minutes and 48 seconds are in my DNA. Always. www.youtube.com/watch?v=4PIi...

It began as a regular Monday here in Maine and then I felt the earth, move under my feet.... (minor but still!) As always, I am meeting the moment with a song. www.youtube.com/watch?v=SW3d...

Music is one of my defenses against the dark arts. Now more than ever. So happy Friday. Bundle up, buckle up and climb aboard. Love, Aim xx www.youtube.com/watch?v=ehfi...

Every existential crisis deserves a playlist. I'm meeting the moment with this. open.spotify.com/playlist/2TZ...

I am unreasonably pleased to have found this Carpenters ‘45 single for free at the dump.

I will always be heartbroken over Sinead. Always. But I also will always be thankful that moments like this were captured. www.youtube.com/watch?v=JeIH...

HAPPY 14TH BIRTHDAY SWEET ODIE! Your Mama adores and loves you very much. ❤️

President Jimmy Carter is the first president I remember. Bless him. And may he rest in very sweet peace.

Happy Friday. Live at 11 a.m. (est) today I'm thrilled to be a guest on Maine Calling on Maine Public Radio. Talking about concerts and new music in Maine in 2025. Tune in! (old school radio or stream from anywhere). www.mainepublic.org/listen-live

Crazy busy day but popping in quick to declare this as a contender for fav song of 2024. Top 5 at least! www.youtube.com/watch?v=U2W1...

KATHLEEN EDWARDS JUST RELEASED A COVER OF ONE MY FAVORITE R.E.M. SONGS. I AM DECEASED. www.youtube.com/watch?v=cPXK...

I love you, Sinead O’Connor. I’m so glad you were born on this day in 1966. You should still be here. But also I know you are.

Women for the win! #spotifywrapped ❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️

Tears For Fears. The Hurting continues to be an absolute banger of an album. Just FYI.

Jai Ho! Let's Thursday!!! www.youtube.com/watch?v=5FAr...

Current mood and I won't be challenged on this: They've got cars big as bars They've got rivers of gold But the wind goes right through you It's no place for the old When you first took my hand On a cold Christmas Eve You promised me Broadway was waiting for me

Just got a press release that made me fall on the floor. Here's AL GREEN singing R.E.M's "Everybody Hurts" Can I get an AMEN? www.youtube.com/watch?v=oQh5...

And just like that, Thanksgiving is next week. Therefore, it's time for this never-gets-old film moment. It's funny but also intensely human and it shows family dynamics in a truly painful but accurate way. www.youtube.com/watch?v=egWF...

Good morning. Strolling down to Q Street to meet a friend for early breakfast. Happy Saturday. 🍳☕️

I've been singing Kate Bush's "Big Sky" for two days now but instead I'm singing BLUESKY and I kinda love it. Also, I like it here. The air is sweet and kindness is currency.

Let the children lose it Let the children use it Let all the children boogie oh and hi. It's Thursday. Let's try and have a decent day shall we?😘

Good morning. It's official. The resistance is rebuilding on Blue Sky.
