Looking foward to music

Curated by Michael Lawerence

Crabtree Sessions, Dreamer, Founder, Visionary

Crabtree Sessions is a Grassroots Arts Organization, Homestead and Creative spot located in the beautiful Fox Islands of Maine.

Michael is a Farmer, Lobsterman, Songwriter & Storyteller.

North Haven Island is a place of immense beauty and a strong vibrant community at its heart. This unique fishing and farming village perched out in the middle of Penobscot Bay is a true source of creative inspiration. Crabtree Sessions (now into its third season) offers folks an authentic Maine Island experience.


Our mission is to connect, create, enrich & inspire through cultural exchange, music, songs, and stories. These past three years our residency program and artist showcase has hosted some of the best up-and-coming songwriters, musicians, writers, and poets from around the country and beyond!

What's been keeping you grounded?

"We love the concept, and this brand!"

I was stoked when I received the invite to be a guest curator for this Friday's Imperfects LF! Huge shoutout to Mike Lynch and the whole Imperfects team—keep shining, amigos!


Watching Crabtree Sessions grow over the past three years has been amazing. What started as a way to connect with other songwriters during the Pandemic has evolved into a premiere East Coast artist showcase and residency program, highlighting some of today’s most talented songwriters and musicians. Next up: one of my favorite Nashville Indie artists, Erin Rae! Following Erin will be a special Crabtree Cottage show with Kassi Valazza and Camille Wind Weatherford of The Lostines. Looking forward to the music!

01 WHAT'S KEEPING ME GROUNDED


It's been a super busy Summer for us with the 2023 Crabtree Sessions Island Showcase in full swing. Sometimes it’s hard to slow down and appreciate the little things, like watching the bees collect pollen & nectar, watching the sunset, or making some time for tea. I've found myself really enjoying the still moments in the garden, whether it's prepping a bed to do some planting, weeding the onions, or harvesting carrots. I'm always grateful to prepare fresh veggies for a meal!
