Flew from California to One Longfellow Square to see Julian Lage. One of the most spectacular performances I have ever witnessed. One Longfellow square is an intimate venue with not a bad seat in the house with approximately 150 seats. I appreciate the work the workers do to support this venue. Everyone is extremely kind and made the night exceptional.

Inexpensive, quaint, intimate venue offering attentive staff and full bar service. Basic straight back chairs, but worth sitting on while taking in some of the best vocalists and musicians this side of the planet. Clean restrooms too!Bring your older children! Expose them to some good old fashioned live music and raw talent!

It's a bit tight in there, but it is an enjoyable entertainment experience. I liked that the sound level was maintained at an appropriate level for the venue. I usually have to wear ear plugs to concerts. This one was spot on the right level.

My husband and I were visiting Portland for the first time and specifically went during this time to see David Mallett. The volunteer "staff" were so kind and helpful, the venue was intimate and it was the cherry on top of the end of our stay!

An intimate setting for some terrific acts. Small enough for crowd participation, but great acoustics. Long live OLS!

Jonatha Brooke at OLS @ One Longfellow Square | Portland | Maine | United States

Merging evocative folk, melodic pop and an edgier roots rock sensibility, singer/songwriter/guitarist Jonatha Brooke began releasing music in the early 1990s, first as a member of the duo the Story and more enduringly as a solo artist. After four major label releases, she started her own independent label, Bad Dog Records in 1999, and has since released ten more albums – including the companion CD to her critically acclaimed, one woman, Off-Broadway musical, My Mother Has Four Noses.

Jonatha has co-written and/or produced songs with Katy Perry, The Courtyard Hounds, and Jessica Simpson. She’s also written for four Disney films, numerous television shows, and she composed and performed the theme song for Joss Whedon’s Dollhouse.

Jonatha teaches online and in person Master Classes in songwriting and recording. She is working on three musical projects – Quadroon, with the late, legendary jazz pianist/composer Joe Sample; Switched with playwright Geoffrey Nauffts; and TEMPUS with Jaclyn Backhaus.

Jonatha was the recipient of a McKnight Artist Fellowship Grant in 2018. She won the 2019 International Acoustic Music Award for Best Female Artist for her song “Put the Gun Down,” and was the competition’s overall grand prize winner. And in 2020, she was awarded an Independent Music Award (IMA) for her EP, “Imposter.”

Throughout the pandemic, Ms. Brooke performed weekly Live Stream concerts from her home on Facebook and YouTube – “The Kitchen Covid Concerts” – all archived on her YouTube page.

Her 14th record, The Sweetwater Sessions, was released July 10, 2020.
