"Our goal at Wiscasset Speedway has been to turn the place into a 'multi-function' facility; not just a race track,” said Wiscasset Speedway’s track announcer and promotions manager Ken Minott, in a news release. “This idea has expanded and grown each year with car shows and other community functions. This Summer Concert Series is a big step forward in this effort. We encourage folks to bring a lawn chair or a blanket and settle back for a nice, relaxing, affordable evening out with some great music this summer. We can't thank HZT Records’ Allen [Foster] and Paula [Hersom] enough for helping us bring this idea to life”
 
”There’s a wide range of top-notch musical talent in the state of Maine," said A&R Director for HZT Records, Paula Hersom. "This new concert series is a special, family-friendly way to bring those artists in to this community all summer long. HZT Records is grateful for the opportunity to work with Wiscasset Speedway and already looking forward to 2024 and beyond.”
 
Formed in 2019, Horizontal Trees Music (HZT Records) is a Maine-based independent record label focused on making music and promoting artists with a passion for their craft and distributing great songs to the global marketplace.
