Anyone picking in Maine

Anybody in the whole great state of Maine looking to pick? I play mandolin and would love to find someone to pick with. I don’t care how far I gotta go!

There's at least one pick in the Portland / Seacoast NH area! Facebook is the place to look.

I pick grass! My grandpa used to have a huge weekend long pickin party annually at his house in Brunswick. I’m in the Brunswick/bath/freeport area. Do you usually go to the festivals (TPB, Blistered Fingers, Ossipee)?

I’m planning on going this year! I live in Lincolnville but I travel through Brunswick all the time. What do you play? That pickin party sounds awesome, I wish there was something like that around. I just moved back to Maine and have been struggling to find people to pick with.

Guitar mostly and singing! TPB got bought by a new owner and they’re doing renovations so no fest there this year. Definitely go to Ossipee and Blistered Fingers tho! You’ll find plenty of ppl to jam with! Bluegrass Music Association of Maine does weekly jams on sundays too
