Live Music on Motif No.1 Day!

In Dock Square, don’t miss a few of our favorite bands playing LIVE local music!

Playing at 11am: A buzz-generating Americana/folk/roots group from Rockport that is taking Cape Ann by storm, Headlands features veteran guitarist/singer John Rockwell, vocalist Amy Rich, and Eric Wilson on acoustic and electric guitar and vocals. Come enjoy their harmony-drenched vocals and dynamic instrumental interplay.

Playing at 3pm: Mari Martin and The Lucky Boys will perform Mari’s wonderful arrangements of great songs from artists such as The Beatles, Stevie Wonder, Billie Holliday, Bonnie Raitt, Alicia Keyes, Ella Fitzgerald, and many more.  Mari has been entertaining audiences from Massachusetts to California with her compelling voice and signature stage presence for over 20 years. She has sung for Kenny Loggins on numerous occasions, and she has opened for and shared the stage with Tower of Power, the Average White Band, Big Bad Voodoo Daddy, Glen Phillips, Jonathan McEuen, WAR, and Alan Parsons.  Mari’s crack band will consist of Mark Retallack on keys, Roger Brockelbank on drums, and Bob Enik on guitar.
