Every Other Sunday on the stage at Cumston Hall, Monmouth, ME.

The Friends of Cumston Hall closed out it’s 2015 concert series with a rock show, courtesy of Every Other Sunday. (We were also part of the 2014 FOCH concert series, but due to an ice storm, attendance was…light.) We had much better weather this year, as well as an enthusiastic crowd. Our hosts, Dennis Price and Dania Frost, were kind enough to provide an extra evening to set up and dinner before the show!

Cumston Hall is a special place to many members of the band, since we primarily met each other doing community theater shows. Tori and Mike actually met for the first time on the Cumston Hall stage, rehearsing for Monmouth Community Players’ production of Joseph and the Amazing Technicolor Dreamcoat in 1993. Following Oliver! in 1994, they began dating and have been together ever since.

Since we are usually tailoring our shows to the taste of the couples who hire us, we used this concert to play a few songs that we don’t get a chance to do very often. Here is our full set list:

Africa
Hard to Handle
Mandolin Moon
I Choose You
Meet Virginia
Billie Jean
Spit on a Stranger
All Of Me
When I am King
King of Anything
Amsterdam
Boomerang
Can't Hold Us

Midnight Hour
Sweet Caroline
Every Little Thing She Does is Magic
I Want You Back
Falling Slowly
The Remedy
Saturday in the Park
Penny and Me
I Will Wait
Rain King / Thunder Road

Old Brown's Daughter (A capella)

As wedding season approaches, we are focusing on the customized set lists for the receptions we have coming up. Lots of new songs to learn (including some country!) in the next few months. Maybe at next year’s Friends of Cumston hall show, you’ll even hear a few! Thanks to everyone who came out on March 28th! And, special thanks to Jocelyn French for the photos.
