The pop-rock blues band Beyond Reason is scheduled to perform at 7 p.m. Saturday, May 13, in the Concert Hall of the First Universalist Church of Norway, 479 Main St. in Norway.

Admission costs $10. Tickets are available at the door or at The Tribune, 430 Main Street, Norway.

Proceeds from this fundraiser will benefit the First Universalist Church and aid in the maintenance of its 200-year-old building, according to a news release from the Rev. Fayre Stephenson.

Beyond Reason’s shows encompass a broad range of pop, rock and blues, including original compositions from the band’s five studio albums and classics from the golden era of rock and roll. Strong harmonies, textured melodies and a tight rhythm section fuel the group’s dynamic live performances.

Beyond Reason was formed in 1992 by guitarist Greg Kidd and lead vocalist Steve Leighton. Along with Kidd and Leighton, the southern Maine-based band’s lineup features Steve Mead on bass and vocals, Tom Coolidge on keyboards and vocals, and Bruce Wescott on drums and vocals.

Beyond Reason has opened for such artists as Lowen & Navarro and Savoy Brown. The band has performed at many fundraisers to benefit deserving organizations. These include the Maine Breast Cancer Coalition, the Peabody House and the Ryan White Foundation.
