On the evening of February 27th, 2026, OUT Maine will host the third annual Rainbow Gala & Dance Party in its home base of Rockland, Maine. The gala is open to anyone 21 years of age and older, and the event directly benefits OUT Maine’s annual LGBTQIA2S+ youth retreat Rainbow Ball Weekend. The event is described as a “queer prom for grownups,” with the dress code being simply, “what did you really want to wear to prom?” There will be music by the Right Track (voted "Best of the Best!), red carpet photos by Hi Moments, a silent auction, hors d'oeuvres, and a cash bar. This year's event also has a secret theme that will be shared with ticket holders. Tickets can be purchased online at www.outmaine.org/gala.

Backed by a driving rock quintet and a lush string quartet, Joe Boucher re-imagines Billy Joel’s greatest hits in concert, this time at the Sanford Performing Arts Center at 7 p.m. Saturday, Feb. 28.

"Sing Us A Song" is a spectacular tribute to Billy Joel by Maine’s own Joe Boucher, the powerhouse vocalist, pianist, and creator behind some of New England’s most celebrated rock-meets-orchestra shows. Boucher has built a devoted following with smash hits like Classic Rock, Piano Men, and The Beatles Solo Years – all of which have been featured at Sanford Performing Arts Center in previous seasons! His thrilling arrangements blend the punch of a rock show with the elegance of orchestral strings. From the sing-along joy of “Piano Man” to the sweeping drama of “Scenes from an Italian Restaurant,” this is Billy Joel like you’ve never heard him before — big sound, big emotion, and one unforgettable night of music.
