ARTIST TESTIMONIALS
"BAAM and The Gem collectively work to put on an incredible experience. The theater is aptly named, as it is a gem in the community. And BAAM is not only on the ball, they are friendly and easy to work with. A formidable combination. From the exterior decor to the excellent pizza and drinks to the great sound, these concerts are an experience worth traveling for, whether you're an artist or a patron. We'll come back anytime!"
- Eric McDonald of Kalos (performed 5.7.23) and Cantrip (performed 7.20.23)
"Working with BAAM to bring our live show to Bethel is always a great experience! The level of care, communication and hands-on collaboration that Kate provides is amazing. As an Indigenous performer sharing culture and creativity through live experiences is crucial to my mission. BAAM understands the importance of this work and provides opportunities for community engagement and energetic exchange."
- Firefly the Hybrid (performed 10.17.24)
“Our experiences with BAAM and The Gem have been incredible. We've been involved on several fronts over the years, a musical workshop, and original film screening at Telstar School, a concert at Telstar with our full band, light show, and drummer, and a public performance/screening at the Gem venue, with film and music. What stayed with us most was how welcoming, vibrant, and generous the community was - overflowing with care for the arts. The school show was charming. We’ve performed at more than twenty schools across Maine, and that one truly stood out - we’ve never signed more shoes and posters in our lives! Students are still reaching out to us or coming to see us in concert elsewhere. BAAM is a community that truly lives its love for creativity.”
- Sean Oshima, Oshima Brothers (performed 3.1.23, 5.19.23, 11.8.24)
