As I was writing this, a press release arrived announcing the second single, the albumвЂ™s title track. 12, and the first single is вЂњGhost.вЂќ The song is pulse-quickening pop with a throwback feel. Sister Sparrow is set to release its fourth album, вЂњGold,вЂќ on Oct. вЂњWe will be playing some songs from the new album as well as some Sister Sparrow & The Dirty Birds classics.вЂќ вЂњThompsonвЂ™s Point has to be one of my favorite venues, and I canвЂ™t wait to play for my home crowd,вЂќ he said. I asked Graham what it means to him to play in front of a hometown crowd on such a huge stage. The band is based in Brooklyn, New York and has a Maine connection through sax player Brian Graham, who lives in Portland.

SheвЂ™s got a set of epic pipes that serve the bandвЂ™s rock-soul sound superbly well. Sister Sparrow & The Dirty Birds is fronted by sensational vocalist Arleigh Kincheloe. Both acts are outstanding, and memories of this show will carry you through the brutal winter months when weвЂ™ll all live for concert announcements for the summer of 2019. The venue is going out with a bang with Nathaniel Rateliff & The Night Sweats and openers Sister Sparrow & The Dirty Birds. ThompsonвЂ™s Point is, in fact, where IвЂ™m sending you for a last hurrah of the season. Two other huge highlights of the summer were shows from Lake Street Dive and Jason Isbell and the 400 Unit with Brandi Carlile outside at ThompsonвЂ™s Point in Portland. The five bucks I gave him as a thank you for the dazzling music was some of the best money spent this summer on live music. I canвЂ™t remember his name, but he told me he was homeless and had hit a few rough patches lately. He sat down at an old upright and started playing, and it was mesmerizing watching his fingers fly across the keys as he played a complicated classical piece. And I got quite a thrill in Monument Square a few months ago when I walked by a young man who asked if I wanted to hear him play the piano that was set up as part of the Pianos in the Squares Project. I also caught some local and national acts at places like Slab, One Longfellow Square, Port City Music Hall, Aura, Portland House of Music and Stone Mountain Arts Center, to name a few spots. Highlights included a trip to Bangor, where I stood in the rain to watch Neko Case open for Ray LaMontagne. Here in Maine the live offerings were also pretty great. How was your summer in terms of live music? Mine included first-time trips to the Newport Folk Festival and Red Rocks Ampitheatre in Colorado.

The new album, Gold, takes the classic soul-rock sound created by Sister Sparrow and her brass-fueled combo, The Dirty Birds, and turns it into something altogether new, a soul-blasted contemporary pop approach supremely suited for Kincheloe's immense voice and even greater vision.
