The 42nd annual North Nobleboro Day is August 9 from 10 a.m. to 5 p.m. at the North Nobleboro Community Hall on Upper East Pond Road. Along with outstanding food and chicken barbeque, auctions, raffles and homemade crafts, the North Nobleboro Community Association is proud to present the return of Debbie Myers and her band, Redneck Rodeo, from 10 a.m. to 12:45 p.m.

Myers has been singing professionally since the age of eight and started her career by her father's side. Gerry Myers was a founding band member of the Bunkhouse Boys and with him, Debbie honed her musical performance skills. By the late 1980s, she had three top 12 hit singles on the Canadian music scene, with one hit climbing all the way to number one on French radio. In addition to recording an album in Nashville with songs written by herself, her sister, Shirley, and Rod Nicholson, Myers has also performed on television, radio and in shows with Mickey Gilley, Steve Wariner, Highway 101, and Little Jimmy Dickens.

Redneck Rodeo features the talents of Brian Hallsey on drums, Tommy Thompson on steel guitar, Robbie Coffin (from Rockland) on electric guitar, and Jackson Gay on bass. Ronald Bouffard and Edward Howe have also performed with the band.

Myer's performing style has been likened to Reba McEntire, Whitney Houston and Patsy Cline, yet she remains firmly rooted in her Maritime musical heritage. The gifted members of her band are also strongly rooted in coastal Maine but have national recognition and awards in their resumés. In past years, Myers has received top honors at the 2006-2007 Maine Academy of Country Music awards as Best Female Vocalist and Entertainer Of The Year.

Don't miss what will surely be an outstanding show. Be sure to come early and stay late for great food, the auction (at 1 p.m.), trash and treasures, and locally made crafts.
