Paul Benjamin, producer of Rockland’s renowned North Atlantic Blues Festival, is bringing Blues Night to Watts Hall in Thomaston!

On Friday, September 25 at 7:00 pm, acclaimed singer, bassist, and songwriter Danielle Nicole takes the Watts Hall stage for an unforgettable evening of blues, soul, and rock-infused energy.

Raised in Kansas City, Missouri, Danielle Nicole first gained international recognition as a member of the award-winning band Trampled Under Foot before launching a solo career that has earned widespread critical acclaim. Her debut solo album, Wolf Den, climbed to #2 on the Billboard Blues Chart, while Cry No More debuted at #1 and received a Grammy nomination for Best Contemporary Blues Album. Her latest release, The Love You Bleed, has continued that momentum, earning more than a million streams in less than a year.
