Gunther Brown is coming back to Houlton, Maine for a concert on the sanctuary stage on Saturday, August 9th. The band hadn’t played since Covid, but we gave them a call and talked them into a “One Night Only Reunion Tour” in Houlton. This is a night you won’t want to miss!

Pete and the boys put on a great show and local celebrity Derek Mills still holds down the drums. Concessions will be available during intermission.

Press Reviews:Gunther Brown is a roots-rock Americana band from Portland, Maine.

The band’s most recent album, Heartache & Roses, was released in February, 2020, with reviews proclaiming “Gunther Brown is the Portland-based band that will make you fall back in love with Americana music. ”

After a European tour in 2017 Gunther Brown took an extended break due to a change in the lineup and, after playing just two shows in support of Heartache & Roses, was stalled once again- this time by covid.

Gunther Brown introduced themselves to the world with Good Nights for Daydreams, in 2014. The band’s full-length debut received only great reviews, both in the band’s hometown and internationally.

The Portland Phoenix said, “The guys in Gunther Brown can lay on the biting spite pretty thick, but they also embrace pure emotion. With Gunther Brown’s debut full-length, (they) have created the most sorrowful local record since Ray Lamontagne’s Till the Sun Turns Black.” AmericanaUK added, “Gunther Brown’s debut album is forty minutes of resignation and despair set to one of the most mournful soundtracks you’re likely to hear this year or any other. Leader and songwriter Pete Ryan is a master of despondency.”

In 2016, Gunther Brown released, North Wind, a new 10 song album, on vinyl, CD and digital formats. The album was released in Europe on CRS. Reviews of North Wind heaped praise on the band with statements like, “…one of your great Americana promises for 2016,” and “…North Wind is many things at once: tender, fierce, thought-provoking, powerful and even fun. Could lavish praise on every track…this band is really onto something.”
