Singer-songwriter Aidan Boardman will perform at the Oasis of Music beginning at 12:30 p.m. on Wednesday, Jan. 4, at Trinity Church in Lewiston.

According to his Spotify profile, “There is a polarity in the music of Aidan Boardman. His lyrics, sometimes humorously cryptic and often focused inward, read like stream-of-consciousness musings from the busy mind of someone perpetually looking out the window of a Greyhound bus. The music, however, isn’t so insular. Within his arrangements, echoes of community run deep. Raised in Maine by a family of musicians and artists, there is a communal spirit that flows through Aidan’s music. Unassuming guitars lead way to lush layers of violin, brass, percussion, organ and harmony vocals provided by a selection of talented collaborators. There is a ‘living-room’ quality to the music that is unmistakable – as if you can hear the songs meandering in from the next room. But the windows are open: the world is creeping in.”

The musical genres vary greatly, in largely, but not exclusively, acoustic formats. COVID restrictions of optional mask-wearing and social distancing are observed.
