LEWISTON, Maine — Bald Hill, those surprisingly hip purveyors of blues-inflected newgrass, folk/rock and Americana, return to She Doesn’t Like Guthrie’s Restaurant & Café on Friday night, with a special guest in tow.

New Gloucester-based Bald Hill will welcome fellow resident Christie Ray to the stage tomorrow night. This will be the Guthrie’s debut for Ms. Ray, who will play alongside BH and perform several of her own, original tunes.

Showtime on Dec. 15 is 8 p.m., and festivities wrap up promptly at 10 p.m. So arrive early and avail yourself of a local brew, one of Guthrie’s signature burritos, and enjoy the song stylings of New Gloucester’s finest.

Mark you calendars as well for Bald Hill’s Dec. 29 show at Gritty McDuff’s Brewing Company, across the Mighty Androscoggin River in Auburn. BH will welcome another special guest for that first-Friday-post-Christmas show: fiddler, banjo artist and yet another New Gloucesterite in good standing, Mike Conant.
