Our Review: Lady Lamb the Beekeeper at Port City

THE LADY REAPPEARS: A Hero’s Welcome for a Maine Original On March 13, 2015, a sold out crowd at Port City Music Hall eagerly anticipated the arrival of one of the state’s proud musical products. No, not Lenny Breau (RIP, by the way), but rather a compact dynamo of an individual that goes by the name of Lady Lamb (née Lady Lamb the Beekeeper, née née Aly Spaltro).

Do Robots Roll on Electric Ecstasy? (Or: How a Luddite Opened His Ears and Eyes) A friend and I discussed what makes a truly worthwhile live musical experience. So many times we have been to shows where you were watching what amounted to animatronic musicians projecting pre-recorded music. It would have been easier to just stay home and listen to the records (and the drinks would have been much cheaper, too.

The State of Maine Music
www.factoryportland.com
The state of how music is reported and discussed in Maine has been morphing as of late. Sam Pfeifle, who wrote about local music for The Portland Phoenix from 2001 to 2014, is no longer with the long-running weekly publication. The Phoenix was purchased by the owners of The Portland Daily Sun, while team members from The Phoenix and the owners of Boston's Dig started a new publication, Dig Portland.

Looking Back and Looking Ahead

When I started Factory Portland in 2010, it was a way for me to package various services I was already offering – helping musicians with social media, photography, setting up websites, and CD design. At the time I was working a day job and able to pursue outside projects. I eventually moved on from that job and found myself jumping feet first into freelance work as a career.
