MIKE MAURICE with ADAM MONACO

Reserved Seating: $20 – $25 Advance | $30 – $35 Door
Doors 7pm | Show 8pm

Join Mike Maurice, Adam Monaco and local special guests at Vinegar Hill Music Theatre on August 12.

Mike Maurice and Adam Monaco first crossed paths twelve years ago as strangers on the street: a Philly musician passing through town searching for a place to play, and a Maine busker juggling on Congress Street. Numbers were exchanged over the sound of traffic and car horns—and ever since, they’ve been swapping gigs, sharing bills, and building a musical bridge between Portland and Philadelphia.

Their long-running musical friendship even led to an improvisational side project called Pianolin… and audiences might just catch a glimpse of it live.

The night will begin with a special short opening set from a few of Mike’s piano students, celebrating the next generation of local musicians.

About Mike Maurice –

Maine-based artist Mike Maurice brings together the emotional honesty of folk and the dynamic sweep of modern indie songwriting. His music lives in contrast – tender yet powerful, with lyrical writing that’s both introspective & deeply relatable. On his latest single “This Old House” (featuring Danny Black of Gregory Alan Isakov and Good Old War), Maurice explores memory, change, and belonging with a voice that feels timeless and deeply human.

After years of travel and songs shaped in live rooms, Mike is currently working on his next full-length record, projected for release in 2027.
The project continues an ongoing collaboration with Zavier Walker, whose harmonies and instrumentation have become a defining part of the sound emerging both onstage and in the studio.

About Adam Monaco –

Adam’s music is lush, colorful, melodic and takes root deep in the complex, beautiful stories that connect humanity. His lyrics resonate like a conversation with an old friend: personal, profound, engaged, and thought-provoking. His authentic performances showcase his ability to evoke the full range and complexity of human emotions; in one musical moment, he can bring audiences to tears, then lift them back up with witty banter and a relatable anecdote.

Adam’s musical goals recently reached a new height, when he was able to start working with his wife, Cate, who now adds another dimension to his music with her angelic harmonies. They have been recording a series of singles with a seven-piece band, including ‘Nevermind,’ which was released alongside a video in April 2023 and is available on all streaming platforms, and Adam plans to release a full length album in 2026 early 2027.
