The Bollard Bulletin for June 17, 2025
Cartoon Tuesday: Kicked out of Gritty's (again)
Cartoon Tuesday
Last Tuesday, we jumped 150 years into the future to check out the scene at Gritty McDuff’s Old Port brewpub. This week, we revisit one of the first scenes in Corey Pandolph’s cartoon series Li’l Spencer’s Adventures, which ran in The Bollard for at least a couple years back in the day. This one appeared in our Winter 2007 print edition. Rock onward!
Highlights
The soul of Maine blues guitarist Mike Hayward may indeed be in hock to the Devil. How else to explain the amazing longevity of this heavy-gigging performer who’s been playing no-cover shows in blue-collar bars since last century? His band performs at Portland Lobster Company (180 Commercial St.) at 6:30 p.m. Free and all ages.
If you prefer grass in your blues, head over to Blue Lobster Urban Winery (200 Anderson St., Portland) for the weekly show by the East Bayside Bluegrass Collective at 7 p.m. This one’s also free and all ages.
