Country Generations holds concert for fund

CARIBOU—Country Generations, a ten piece country band hailing from Nova Scotia, Canada, performed on June 11, 2005 during two shows to help raise money for the Cariobu High School Music Building Fund and the Northern Maine Agricultural Fair "Music Festival 2005". The event, which was sponsored by the two groups was held at the Caribou Performing Arts Center in Caribou, Maine.

Country Generations was the brainchild of group leader, Frank Spinney. His two sons and soon to be daughter-in-law also perform in the group, which has members ranging from ages 22-63. Most of the groups has been together since 1998 and they have recorded four CD's in Nashville, with a single that was number one in Australia for fourteen straight weeks. Their latest CD, "Follow the Signs" has been played throughout the United States.

Brandon Bouchard, chair of the Caribou High School Music Building Fund, said of the group that, "it was an honor to be able to work with such a fine group of individuals. It isn't everyday that such a talented show band like Country Generations travel to Northern Maine to perform." Bouchard continued adding, "What made the concert even better was the fact that their charisma which was evident on stage, could be found after- wards as each member of the group stood in the extremely hot lobby to meet their fans and sign autographs for every individual who asked."

The band noted that the Northern Maine crowd was one of the liveliest they have ever played for in such a setting, and many members of the audience were incredibly excited that Generations was in Caribou. Afterwards, Generations CDs were sold at an incredible rate. People were even seen leaving the concert in tears following the band's rendition of "How Great Thou Art".
