“It should be a highly entertaining concert by a local family band in Cumberland County, Yarmouth, Portland, and the Sebago Region,” she said.
Continuing a wildly successful season of jam-packed community events, the Hawthorne Community Association recently announced their latest concert performance in a brochure that is available around town.
“The Sevee Experiment – a fun concert with your favorite music,” the brochure reads.
Dynamic husband and wife duo Pete and Deb Sevee are The Sevee Experiment. Deb Sevee says that they are excited about the show and are looking forward to being part of the community.
Collectively, Pete and Deb Sevee bring 33 years of marriage and music to the stage. Growing up in musical families, they met while performing for different bands. Through the years, they have created several successful bands together and they also enjoy working in musical theater.
They have performed at weddings, New Year’s Eve events, farmer’s markets, parks and recreation family-focused shows from Somersworth Children’s Festival to Waterville. Additionally, they have performed at the Yarmouth Clam Festival, as well as private parties and church events.
Deb Sevee says that the partnership has evolved over the years, morphing from a cover-rock band performing songs by artists such as Sound City, The Keep, and Band Overboard..
“The Sevee Experiment has been a duo, a trio, and a full band, hence the ‘Experiment’ portion of our name,” she said. “The playlist includes a variety of alternative, rock, pop, folk, country, R&B, and children’s music as well. Some of our favorites for this vocal, guitar, and percussion duo are the Beatles, Eagles, Jewel, Cheryl Crowe, Melissa Etheridge, Martina McBride, Linda Ronstadt, CCR, Jason Mraz and many more.”
She also says that Pete’s father John will be joining them at this concert in playing guitar, mandolin, and helping with vocals, making it a true family event.
During the 2000s, the group shifted to running sound for musical theater, offering their talents to shows including Footloose, Godspell, Joseph and the Amazing Technicolor Dreamboat, and Pippin. They have also directed more than 20 plays at Yarmouth Middle School. Deb also teaches family music, gives voice lessons and both Deb and Pete serve as professional chorus members.
Hawthorne Community Association President Mary Ann Moeri is the organizer of the evening’s festivities. She said that the concert is the culmination of a record season of popular community events at the Hawthorne House this year.
“This will be our last music event of the year,” Moeri said. “We are grateful to the Raymond Windham community for supporting the mission of Hawthorne House and we look forward to hosting many more community events in 2026,” she said.
Reserved tickets for “The Sevee Experiment” show are recommended but not required. However, Moeri says that space is limited. Tickets are $20 and can be purchased by scanning the provided QR code.
The Hawthorne House will offer adult beverages and snacks at the concert. Donations are requested to help defray the cost.
