Juniper Ginger / Jacob Perez / Tremolo Fields LIVE at [the square] 34 Preble Street Portland, ME Tuesday, October 20th 7-9pm show / 6:30pm doors ALL AGES (minors w/ guardian) / BYOB $10 adv. / $15 door Juniper Ginger is the songwriting project of Maine-based musician Alex Millan. Her latest LP, All These Songs of Yours, is an exploration of heartbreak and transformation. Moving through genre and tone, the LP sees its protagonist navigating a season of relationship rupture & repair. Followup EP Strangers continues to probe the idea of knowing and becoming unknown. Live audiences can expect stripped-down versions of the studio productions; sparse accompaniment gently invites the listener to get lost in the poetic landscape. Jacob Perez is a songwriter living in Cincinnati, OH. On his fourth outing he’s teamed up with Timothy Edward Carpenter to craft album that feels both spare and lush, crafting soundscapes full of acoustic guitars, synths and drum machines, guided by the through line of Jacob’s conversational tenor. Give Up Everything You Got! was written over the summers of ’24 and ’25, borne of many walks through the neighborhood where Jacob has lived for seven years. Walking has become an essential part of his songwriting practice, a time to let the mind whir through memories, parsing past lives and imagining the future. Across ten songs, Perez spins short vignettes which blur the lines between biography and fiction. These characters watch their neighborhoods change, experience the effects of climate change and inequality, grow up and give up. Much like Ray Bradbury’s “Dandelion Wine,” Perez considers summer as both a time of profound freedom and a signpost that nothing lasts forever. Tremolo Fields is the moniker of Portland, ME–based songwriter David Rogers. On his June 2026 EP, produced by Wild Pink’s John Ross, he weaves wiry indie rock and alt-folk with dream pop, letting distorted guitars merge with confessional vocals over layered loops that swell and shift. Originally from Iowa City, Rogers draws on his earlier days of punk basement shows and conversations with local folk heroes to craft music that fuses restless experimentation with heartfelt connection.
