Tim Winchester will take the stage at 6 p.m. Saturday, Jan. 6, at Blue, at 650 A Congress St., in Portland.

The music of the Maine based singer-songwriter and contemporary folk artist encourages close listening and contemplation. His heart-stirring songs are a careful curation of melody, warmth and dynamic restraint and have been described as “atmospheric” and “an ethereal landscape of storytelling”.

Winchester released his first full-length studio album, “Into The Open” in January 2021 during a lull in his performance schedule due to the pandemic. Co-produced by Winchester and Jason Phelps, “Into The Open” was recorded at Acadia Recording Co. in Portland with Ellie Begin on cello/piano, Pete Morse on electric guitar, Jason Phelps on bass, and Janice O’Rourke on supporting vocals.
