'You've got a friend'

It was an idyllic night in Lewiston Monday. “Beautiful” in reality as Christina Custode and band at the Gazebo on Center Street in Lewiston before a crowd of about 250.

The concert was part of a free series offered by the Lewiston Council on the Arts. Custode, backed by Lew Custode, Monkis and bass player Jim Wynn wound through a bunch of classics from her own catalogue as well as Carole King, Carly Simon, James Taylor and others.

The event precedes a busy week for LCOA, including a Thursday night fundraiser ($10 a person) for a Summer of ’69 rehearsal which precedes a Friday night show at Academy Park.

Next Monday brings a Shakespeare in the Park production of Romeo and Juliet with the music of Tom Keefer and Celtic Cross at Academy Park.
