Maine Stay Inn ~ An Insider's Guide to Kennebunkport

Guests visit Kennebunkport and are delighted by our peaceful and quiet way of life (in the winter that is). They will often remark that Kenneunkport is just a short ride to Portland and only 90 minutes to Boston. In other words, if you want some cultural events, we are not far away.

Well hold on, the Kennebunk Coffeehouse is right here and they host some wonderful talent. Kennebunk Coffeehouse bills itself as "the premier venue for acoustic music in Southern Maine." If you have any doubts about this claim, visit their listing of coming events, your doubts will disappear.

On Saturday evening, April 14, Kennebunk Coffee House will host a fantastic talent, John Gorka. An acoustic based singer and songwriter, John describes himself as an "aspiring folksinger." Modesty is clearly one of John's attributes as you will understand if you visit his website and play some of the songs he has graciously allowed us to preview.


Those of you who know me understand that, like most people, I have my likes and dislikes. The difference with me is that I usually really like things or, I very much dislike them. I don't have much middle ground. This is certainly true with music and I can tell you that John Gorka's music falls into the "I really like it" category. According to The Boston Globe, John is "the quintessential urban folksinger."

Visit his website, sample his music. John's music truly is "coffeehouse" music.

The Kennebunk Coffee House is just a few minutes drive from The Maine Stay. We'll be happy to give you directions.

One last thing...John Gorka's shows always sell out, so get your tickets early.
