LEAD GUITAR, PIANO, VOCALS / EARL BIGELOW
Earl Bigelow, a seasoned musician, first picked up a guitar when he was eleven. At fifteen he was playing grange halls in the small towns of Maine. After going to college in Boston and a short stint playing music in NYC, he returned to Richmond, Maine, to hit the country circuit where he met Carl Schlick. Together they formed the Hayward Smith Band which enjoyed much popularity in and around New England. In the 90s Earl formed the Holliday Road Band based in Bath and was popular up and down the coast of Maine. Through out his career Earl has always maintained recording facilities and as the current owner and operator of “Watersong Music” in Bowdoinham, he continues to teach and record.
