About Wildflower:

Wildflower is the songwriting project of Adrian O’Barr, based in Portland, Maine. Writing primarily about place and the power of nature, the music seeks to explore a distinctive vision of “Atlantic” music and tell stories of a changing coastline. Combining influences as far ranging as 1970’s British Isles folk music, Laurel Canyon, and ambient, Wildflower’s third album, “Green World” arrived 3/1/2024 via their own label Dog’s Breath Records. It features contributions from friends and collaborators Andrew Weaver (Mail the Horse, Widowspeak), Joseph Shabason (Destroyer), Hamilton Belk (Cut Worms), MorganEve Swain (Huntress and the Holder of Hands), Matthew Maiello, Jason Eckerson, and Kevin Sullivan.

Wildflower has toured both locally and nationally and played with many of their heroes, including Little Wings, Michael Nau, Kacey Johansing, and Steve Gunn, among others. Their previous album, “The Ocean Rose” was released by Los Angeles label Night Bloom Records. Wildflower has been featured in Aquarium Drunkard, New Commute, Various Small Flames, Uncut Magazine, and For the Rabbits. Their new album was made in part with funding from the American Rescue Plan Maine Projects Grants, a sub-granting program administered by SPACE Gallery for the National Endowment for the Arts.

About the Loading Dock Concert Series:

The Loading Dock Concert Series at 3S Artspace is back this summer with new regional acts and fan favorites in the lineup! This year, we're giving you the opportunity choose your own 3S adventure: arrive at a time that works for you; hang out outside in the Loading Dock area for the show; grab a summer pils from Liar's Bench; and take some time to explore the Gallery, Lobby Gallery, and Shop at 3S.

Plus, we have shows on Saturdays at 7pm for those of you who love the classic magic hour vibes of the Loading Dock. We also have shows on Sundays at 3pm for family-friendly vibes and for those of you who prefer their live music served up before dinner time.
