New England songwriter to perform

New England-based singer-songwriter Jason Spooner will perform at Angeline's Bakery and Café Monday, June 15, at 7 p.m.

Spooner and his band, The Jason Spooner Trio, are on the West Coast leg of a national tour in support of their CD "Live on the Loft." Originally slated for a limited release on satellite radio, the band was so happy with the results that they decided to share it with the world, with an enthusiastic blessing from XM Sirius.

Spooner has earned numerous awards as an up-and-coming luminary on the folk music scene.

He won the international finals of the Mountain Stage NewSong contest, held in New York City. He was honored as a national finalist in the Starbucks Music Makers competition in Boston. Jason took part in a tour of the East Coast as a member of the Falcon Ridge "Most Wanted" Preview Tour. He was also recently named as a New Folk Finalist in the Kerrville Folk Festival in Kerrville, Texas.

Jason and his band returned to both festivals as a main stage act in 2007.

Angeline's is located at 121 W. Main Ave. in Sisters.
