• Belfast – Two Maine Songwriters Collaborate on Original Bluegrass Recording Project (turnerpublishing.net) — A Belfast-based bluegrass project from songwriter Sara Trunzo and her Maine Band has just released a new double-single now streaming everywhere. The collaboration with Brewer songwriter Evan Richert highlights Maine's landscape and environmental concerns, and even draws on engineering help from Belfast's own Lincoln Clapp. Local music fans can discover a homegrown, nationally recognized sound rooted in community.
• Troy Jackson apologizes for comments he made during a conversation about why he considers Israel's war in Gaza a 'genocide' (newscentermaine.com) — A recent U.S. Senate campaign town hall in Belfast, filmed by C-SPAN, is part of the backdrop to Democrat Troy Jackson's apology for comments about Israel's war in Gaza. Jackson is standing by his description of the conflict as genocide while saying he misspoke about Jewish Mainers' views. The race against Sen. Susan Collins could shape federal policy that Belfast residents hear debated locally.
