THE GREATEST LITTLE MUSIC FESTIVAL EVER!!!

The Maybenauts are playing Steel Bridge Song Fest!!

100s of musicians invade a tiny town for four days, playing all the coffee shops and bars, forming groups, writing songs, creating new genres, drinking to excess, tea-totaling, escaping careerist fears, breaking resolutions, starting anew... all in front of an audience of thousands who've come from everywhere to enjoy the beauty of this man-made island and its picturesque mainland shore, and the amazing sounds bounding through every doorway, carried on bay breezes and streaming podcasts out into the waiting, waking world...

STEEL BRIDGE SONGFEST
