Organized by a group of volunteers from the Unitarian Universalist Church of Brunswick, the Side Door Coffeehouse operates on the second Friday of every month except August.

Admission is $12 for adults and free for children 17 and under.

The Friday, October 9th installment will feature:

• Sigrid Sibley—8:30-9:30 pm.

Sigrid Sibley is a native of Poland Spring, Maine where she was raised on a small homestead with backyard chickens, fruit trees, and a busy family garden. She began songwriting at age 14, finding roots in bluegrass, Americana, and traditional music. Her songs draw on common folk themes, as well as her love for nature, agriculture, and life in Maine.

As a solo artist and with her band, Sigrid performs across the state and beyond. Past performances include the Common Ground Fair in Unity, ME; the Maine Cheese Festival in Pittsfield, ME; the Word Barn, in Exeter, NH; and the Poland Spring Resort summer concert series. Sigrid studied Music Education with a focus in Composition at the University of Southern Maine. During her time at college she met and collaborated with local musicians in Southern Maine, including several who contributed to her debut album, Old Faithful Dreams, released in May 2025.  The first single of her album, Never Knew Love, was selected as a finalist for the 2025 Maine Songwriters Association contest.  Sigrid is currently a member of One Longfellow Square’s inaugural class of LEAF fellowship. Information on upcoming shows can be found online on her website or by joining her monthly newsletter.
