Sideways Highways

North Entertainment Tent:
Sideways Highways is a band based out of Rockland and Owls Head, Maine. We play many different styles of music, from rock to prog, jazz to blues, and everything in between, though we do mainly play rock. Our repertoire is composed of originals and covers, at about a 60/40 split. We only cover songs if they are incredibly inspirational, or if they just sound like fun to do. That being said, we do have quite a large repertoire of covers, as we find many things inspirational and fun.

Emilia Dahlin

Main Stage

Emilia Dahlin, born on a small farm south of Boston to a musical instrument collecting father and accordion playing mother, Emilia was destined for a life of music. She started piano, formally, at the age of five and trained classically for the next thirteen years. It was Christmas day, 1996, when Emilia decided she wanted to play the guitar. She went up to the attic, pulled out a warped and worn guitar, that once belonged to her great grandfather, and started to play. She never stopped.
