Rustic Overtones:

Hailing from Portland, Maine, Rustic Overtones have been captivating audiences since their formation in the early 1990s. Their music is a genre-blending masterpiece, fusing rock, soul, and funk into a distinct sound that has garnered both critical acclaim and a devoted fan base. Fronted by Dave Gutter, the band’s dynamic live performances and thought-provoking lyrics have been key to their enduring success. While their lineup has seen changes over the years, Rustic Overtones’ influence on the alternative rock and funk scenes remains unmistakable, and their dedication to storytelling through song is a hallmark of their artistry.

Known for their signature horn section and socially conscious themes, Rustic Overtones have delivered memorable albums like “Rooms by the Hour” (1997) and “Viva Nueva!” (2001). After a mid-2000s hiatus, the band made a triumphant return in the late 2010s, solidifying their status as a compelling force in the indie and alternative music landscape. This enduring band’s legacy is defined by their commitment to making music that resonates on both a musical and emotional level.

What does “General Admission” mean?

This is a General Admission event, which typically means all theater seats are removed from the floor to create an open, flexible space, with cocktail tables and barstools added for a more relaxed atmosphere. For this performance, floor seating may or may not be removed — the final setup will depend on audience size and production logistics. Theater seating in the balcony will remain in place and is available on a first-come, first-served basis.
