"Off the Charts", a Portland-based jazz quartet, will be playing the last Sunday of each month through May 2025 at brunch at Lenny's Pub, Hawkes Plaza, 1274 Bridgton Road, Westbrook, ME. Brunch is from 10-2; music, 11 to 1:30.

“Off the Charts” is Kenny Gaspar, piano and trumpet; Rick Bernard, bass; Rusty Quinn, drums; and Mike Banas, guitar. While their influences include everything from Bebop to Blues to Chet Baker, their primary repertoire is drawn from that genre of music known as the “Great American Songbook” – the canon of significant early 20th century jazz standards and pop tunes (Ellington, Porter, Kern, Mercer, Arlen, et al.)

Owlbear’s Rest is usually an escape from adulting for grown-ups—except on Sunday mornings! Bring the whole crew for a game-filled adventure that’s perfect for adventurers of any age. Your little halflings can enjoy a warm steamer while you sip on a well-earned latte (oat milk available!).
