2009 News - Bob Marley Returns

2009-02-17T13:50:00.000-08:00

Happy Belated New Year to you all!

It has been a while, Jonatha Brooke & Leon Redbone have come and gone, both nearly selling out!

We had our annual New Years Eve Ball and Valentines Dinner & Dance and it is just about that time again...to annouce our 2009 Concert Schedule! We are almost there...

Jonathan is currently in negotiation with Paula Poundstone, Jonathan Edwards, Tom Rush, Rustic Overtones, Jimmy Keys & Paula Cole! The initial list of summer shows will be released to our frequent visitors via our newsletter and then after the first on line sales we will publicly announce it!

However, we do have a recent booking to hopefully warm up your winter humor...Bob Marley, Maine's Wicked Funny Comedian, will be back yet again, on Friday, March 6th at Jonathan's Ogunquit. Show Time 8:00 p.m. Tickets available on line at www.jonathansrestaurant.com/concerts. Remember, come for dinner first so you can get your VIP Seats for the show!

Recent News

2008-10-15T06:15:00.000-07:00

It has been a busy couple of weeks in our small New England Town we call Beautiful Place By The Sea...On our last update we had Richie Havens coming our way and boy did he come our way! Really, the word "legend" suits him so well...he puts everyone in awe when you see him perform in person.

Amanda Shaw was also at Jonathan's Ogunquit the night before RH, showing us all how the Fiddle REALLY is played- New Orleans style! Keep an eye on this one as she is something special!

We had a big Lobster Bake Rehearsal Dinner, a wedding and a baby shower the next weekend that kept us rather busy. Congratulations to Phoebe Francis & her family, Ted Smith & Melissa Kilbride, the Chulpsa/Moulton Wedding group and to the Peffer Family all who had their special, family occasions at our restaurant.

This past weekend we kept it folk style with Tracy Grammer on Friday night and Red Molly, the folk trio, on Sunday! Jonathan said that they were some of the best shows he has seen. In between cooking in the kitchen and schmoozing in the lounge, he made it upstairs to actually sit down and listen to both of these shows because he said they were just so amazing! Pictures to follow...although I have a feeling that Jonathan was too caught up listening to the shows this past weekend to remember to take the camera out for some shots....I'll have to get back to you on this!

Now remember we have just a few shows left this year...Patty Larkin 10/17, Suzanne Westenhoefer 10/21, Jonatha Brooke 10/24 and Leon Redbone 12/05. WCLZ 98.9 has partnered with us for both the Patty Larkin and Jonatha Brooke shows, so be sure to tune in to 98.9 to check out their latest music and for a chance to win some free tickets to the show!

Updates

2008-09-27T11:15:00.000-07:00

Greetings!

It has been a few weeks since our last update. For those of you who missed the Kaki King show...well, you picked the wrong show to miss! She was amazing. I was watching the movie, "August Rush", and heard her amazing talents yet again and I was so moved. In all of her press information there was nothing mentioned about her music in the movie, but boy was it apparent!

Anyhow, tonight we have Richie Havens appearing...There are a few tickets left but you better call now! 207-646-4777

We just added a new show to our line up: LEON REDBONE

Friday, December 5th 8:00 p.m. Tickets available on line!

Kaki King coming our Way!

2008-09-03T06:39:00.001-07:00

Don't miss this "Guitar God" (Rolling Stone 2006) this Friday, September 5th! Kaki will be performing with us at 8:00 p.m.

Check her out on WCLZ 98.9

Tickets still avaialble / $20 ticket plus $10 show credit for dessert & coffee or drinks!

This will be Kaki's only show in New England before she heads to Europe on tour! Don't miss this chance to hear an amazing artist like Kaki! Yet another young & aspring indie artist brought to you by Jonathan's Restaurant!

Lori McKenna's Concert

2008-08-15T18:04:00.000-07:00

Lori had an amazing concert this past Saturday, with Meg Hutchinson opening.

What a down to earth, genuine lady...

Almost filled the room and looking forward in having her back in the future!

Check out some "live" photos!

Satisfaction, Sera Cahoone & Matt Costa

2008-08-08T19:06:00.000-07:00

WHAT A NIGHT!Show started at 8:00 p.m. and jammed thru Midnight! Honestly, an amazing night! We originally just booked Matt Costa for his August 3rd Concert and only a few weeks before the show we were contacted by Matt's agent to see if Sera Cahoone could open for him...We checked out her CD, loved it, offered her dinner and she was added to the line up! A few days later his agent mentioned that Matt wanted to come with his whole band, Satisfaction, and they wanted to play a set or two as well! So, why not? It was great to have such energy in the room!
Was there some resemblance with Sera and the painting behind her? Was it a calling for her to come and play at Jonathan's Ogunquit? Just joking of course...but you know, we can not help but make light of the situation....when all of the pictures we take of these amazing artists come out with the portrait of the woman in the background! Yes, for any of you who have heard Bob Marley's comments about this portrait...it is the same one I am writing about now!

All three groups certainly moved me to listen to their fan pages and music lists! Kudos once again to Jonathan for bringing some more great, up and coming new talent to the area!

NEW SHOWS ADDED

2008-07-30T11:33:00.000-07:00

2008-07-15T12:07:00.000-07:00

Paula conversing with a fellow Jonathan's Customer at our Bar before the Show.

And the show begins...Press play to see Paula's opener on Saturday, July 5th Paula was back in town again this past Friday & Saturday. She celebrated our Independence Day with us here at Jonathan's Ogunquit.

She is always so nice to have with us. This time she came with her son Thomas E. He bobbed around the restaurant playing with his red laser light and getting the back scene view of how a restaurant runs with Jonathan while his mom laughed it up with about 250 fans!

BOB MARLEY - SOLD OUT SHOW!

2008-07-04T17:45:00.001-07:00

BOB MARLEY, "wicked good comedy" was back last week! What a show! We packed over 240 comedy lovers in the room and laughed away!

Almost sold out...he certainly filled the room!
