Buzz & Kathy Vanadestine have been playing music for over 30 years.Buzz has been involved in playing music since he was about 14 yrs old. He played bass in a band called the Cozmic Rays. They played at the local schools and grange halls. After he and Kathy married Buzz later played bass in a rock n’ roll band called the Viking Five.
Buzz and Kathy started their first country band around 1978 called “Sunny Side Up.” Later they became “Country Comfort.” They still play occasionally. They entered competition a few years in which Buzz was named bass player three times. Kathy was named “Miss Downeast Country Music.” She was named “Best Dressed Female” a few years in a row. She was name “Entertainer of the Year” in 1985, the only year that this award was voted by the fans.

Ron Knowles is the main figure behind the Veteran's Memorial project in
Milo. Ron knows what it's like to stand on foreign soil as a young man in
uniform and he is thankful that he and other family members made it home
from the war but he will never forget the service men and women who died
as a sacrifice for freedom or those who were captured and may still be
alive but are prisoners of war. Ron is the primary force behind the
memorial project and has poured his heart and time into the development
and construction of a war memorial in his community representing every
military branch. He has also been helped by many local citizens and the
Legion Auxiliary. Ron has also had a lot of help from north central Maine
area country musicians and singers who regularly perform at Ron's Country
Music Jamboree held twice per month during the winter months. To date Ron
and supporters have raised $20 of the $30,000 Needed. In addition Ron has
125 stones that have been purchased thus far that will be installed around
the walkway of the memorial. To purchase a veterans memorial stone or for
more information on how your can contribute, Ron can be found at the Milo
town hall the first Saturday evening on the month or the second Sunday
afternoon at his American Country Jamboree.

Hall of Famer Mac McHale and his Radio Gang will be featured on the home page of the MaineCountryMusic.com website in March.
The presentation of vintage American country music from the 1930s and 1940s is the mission of The Radio Gang. Its veteran musicians play and sing rousing renditions of classic melodies that recapture the mood of a unique period in American history when the popular music told "the stories from our hearts." Simple, honest and in many ways innocent, country music of the ‘30s and ‘40s (more often classed as bluegrass today) was purely acoustic, with six-string guitar, mandolin, banjo and stand-up bass. Country music had its start, in many cases, as live broadcasts over the radio or was performed in grange halls and churches. The band’s selections are richly varied--spirited fiddle and train songs, gospel music, hand-clapping and toe-tapping tunes, and ballads of love and heartbreak. The Radio Gang has eleven recordings to its credit. Among them are Old Country Radio Songs (which was chosen by CD Review as one of the top four country CDs since the magazine began in 1984), When the Roses Bloom Again, and New River Train (submitted by Folkways Records for a 1993 Grammy Award). The group recently recorded four albums for Fishtraks: Get on Board, Sunbonnet Mother, River of Memories and Down in Memory Lane.

Higgins Family: Pard and Lisa met at one of their performances in 1988 at the Bangor Auditorium in Bangor, Maine. Lisa had been in country music since the age of 8 and has had several bands through the years and worked with many local legends such as Danny Harper, Curly O'Brien, Jackie King, Doc Morrill, Dick Curless, Yodeling Slim Clark and lots of other wonderful Maine talent., Lisa has also worked with a few Nashville recording artists such as Margo Smith, Rex Allen Jr., Steve Wariner, Johnny Russell, and Johnny Rodriguez to name a few. Pard had the opportunity to be on stage with Dick Curless, other artists and also played music with his family and friends. Pard met Lisa and they fell in love and since then have been playing and sharing some beautiful country music together. Together, they moved to Nashville, got married, and lived in and around the Nashville area for several years and performed at live radio shows, campgrounds, local clubs and private parties. In 1993 they were blessed with the birth of their daughter, Katie L. Higgins and she has been singing with them nearly ever since. She too, carries a deep love for music in her heart. Last year at the Acadia Music Festival in Southwest Harbor The Danny Harper Band had the priviledge of backing up Johnny Tillotson and along with everyone else in the Band 14 year old Katie Higgins did an amazing job of backup vocals for Mr. Tillotson.
