SUMMARY:Bailey's Mistake
DESCRIPTION:WHEN: Saturday\, May 16\, 2026 @ 7:00 PM (Doors @ 6:30 PM)\nWHERE: Meetinghouse Arts\, 40 Main St.\, Freeport\, ME 04032\nA not-quite-traditional\, Celtic-inspired\, four-piece folk band from Maine!\n$25 in Advance | $30 at the Door | $15 Students\nFinancial barriers shouldn’t prevent anyone from experiencing the arts. Please know that our Arts Access Fund is available to help ensure everyone can attend.\n \nBailey’s Mistake is a not-quite-traditional\, Celtic-inspired\, four-piece folk band from Maine. The group mixes traditional music from Ireland\, Scotland and Newfoundland with brand new songs about contemporary life in New England. Bailey’s Mistake’s pulsing sound is driven by bass\, drums and guitar and topped off with hearty vocal harmonies and thrilling bagpipe and whistle tunes. \n\nThe band takes its name from a legend told for generations along the Maine coast. Back in the 19th century\, there was a certain ship captain named Bailey. He was trying to guide his vessel safely around West Quoddy Head Lighthouse and into Lubec Harbor. Unfortunately\, it was a foggy night and he missed. Instead of safe harbor\, Bailey ran aground in a shallow\, rocky inlet just south of the lighthouse. \n\nBut rather than face the wrath of the ship’s furious owners in Boston\, Bailey and his crew unloaded the lumber they had on board\, built houses in the cove and settled down with several local ladies. \n\nTo this day\, on most good maps\, that little harbor is simply labeled “Bailey’s Mistake.” \nThis concert is made possible through the generous support of British Goods
