TRANSCRIPT

Driving to Maine’s most remote music venue in Stockholm, Maine was like venturing to an entirely different state. Coastlines morphed into potato fields, and soon miles of nothingness. I drove up to see Ben Cosgrove perform at Eureka Hall, a venue I had been wanting to visit for quite sometime now. They always have terrific shows lined up and also have a cutting edge food menu. Going to Eureka embodied the entire concert experience for me: Traveling for Live Music. While waiting for Ben to take the stage at Eureka, I struck up a convo with Ezra, the bartender. "Eureka has gone through 1000 iterations. So this is the second building it used to be four stories tall.Then it burnt down. It used to be the town office. It used to be the nursing home. It used to be an arcade. Used to be the town hall. Used to be you name it. That's where they used to take care of kids, old people. And then they converted into a restaurant back in the 80s. And now it's technically this is the 21st birthday of Eureka as a restaurant. So it's worth celebrating."
This two-part episode is chock-full of delightful conversations and offers great perspective on a piece of Maine that oftentimes gets overlooked.
