TRANSCRIPT

In this episode, we're at the Belfast waterfront, a great place to begin your tour of the town, which is known for its pristine New England architecture and for All Roads, a two day festival that transforms a handful of these historic buildings into music venues for the weekend.

​Walking and talking with the festival promoter and co-creator, Meg Shorette, I learned a lot about her process of transforming historical buildings into pop-up music venues for the night. One of the venues is a historic movie theatre called, The Colonial. When I walked in, the smell of popcorn permeated the air, and concertgoers were milling around trying to decide which band to check out. I heard a siren-like voice coming from downstairs, and I followed it. The music guided me through a series of lower-level passages, which led to a subterranean movie theatre turned concert stage. I found a spot in the back and got lost in the dizzying sounds of Portland based singer Katie Matzell, who was singing “Better Late than Never,” a new age jazz song. I had never heard of her before, but I was an instant fan. I love those kinds of moments - discovering new music live and on the spot.
