Acoustic Music Trips
A Little Evening Music is a Tradition We Cherish and Uphold on All Trips, but Sometimes We Invite Special Guest Musicians.
Music + Windjammer Gam
The Acadian Aces is an energetic and rootsy Cajun-style band. The Taber welcomes Robert Sylvain, Matthew Doucet, Chad Huval, fiddler Mitch Reed and Maine’s own Tom Whitehead on accordion. The Aces continue to keep the Cajun flame alive in old Acadie. This trip features a “gam,” a festive gathering of Maine's magnificent schooner fleet to celebrate America's maritime heritage. One evening, we'll raft up together with other windjammers and enjoy the music of The Aces with some other musicians on other windjammers.
