Band to highlight Bear Brew Pub

The Neil Jackson Band, quite possibly the best Southern rock band North of Georgia, is returning to the Bear Brew Pub in Orono on Saturday night for a free concert. Take your stein off the shelf, put your drinking pants on and shake off the winter blues with the Allman Brothers style, local fried roots rock of Orono’s own NJB.

The band, whose grassroots advertising spreads like wildfire on campus before every show, recently headlined a three band bill at the Oronoka in Orono. The band has been playing in Orono since 1997 but their popularity has soared over the course of the school year. Having gathered a loyal following locally, the band seems to generate a crowd wherever they go. With that in mind it may be wise to get to the Bear Brew early … the line at the bar is going to be long.

With cabin fever in full effect, taking in a little southern comfort served up by the Neil Jackson Band could be just the thing to start the snow melting.
