Here’s Larry John McNally and I performing “Nobody’s Girl,” written by Larry and recorded by Bonnie Raitt (Nick of Time, 1989). From songwriter Larry John McNally: “As a longtime Bonnie Raitt fan, how lucky I was to have her record my songs “Nobody’s Girl”(on Bonnie’s “Nick of Time” album) and “Slow Ride” (on “Luck of the Draw). I also had fun singing background vocals for her in the studio. Katie and I saw her play this summer in Portland, and said hello backstage, making for a magical evening. What aligned me with Katie was her modern take on, and reverence for, the era when lyrics mattered and the songs were the soundtracks of our lives. Hearing Katie sing “Nobody’s Girl” gives the song new life, and a chill down the back of my neck, revisited. How fun, then, to be honoring Bonnie on this special night, December 28th at One Longfellow Square. I’m sure it will be a magical evening as well!” Bonnie Raitt says: ‘“Nobody’s Girl” is a masterpiece. Some of my favorite songs I’ve ever recorded are written by men - men who are highly conscious of what modern men could be. The song has a complexity in the lyric that is so artful. Larry John McNally is one of my favorite writers ever. He’s an undersung, underrated brilliant artist, and is constantly putting out records. He should be appreciated more than he is.’ Audio recorded and mixed by Roy Davis at Tusk Audio Video by Sarah Violette of Violette Media

The first-ever Maine Raku Firing Festival brought potters, makers, and curious beginners together for a single unforgettable day of fire, creativity, and community. Artists from across New England gathered around the kilns to experience the full spectrum of Raku’s magic, from the glow of 1850°F pulls to the smoky transformation inside the reduction chambers. What began as a simple idea to celebrate the beauty of Raku quickly became a milestone event for Maine’s ceramic community. Throughout the day participants rotated through multiple firing stations, experimenting with crackle glazes, copper lusters, and obvara while witnessing their work transform in real time. The event featured live demonstrations, glaze-chemistry discussions, kiln-building insights, and access to firing mentors who guided guests through every stage of the process from preheat to reduction and quench. What made this festival truly special was the energy of the community. Kiln techs, volunteers, beginners, and seasoned ceramic artists worked shoulder to shoulder, sharing knowledge, troubleshooting results, and cheering as each glowing pot emerged from the kiln. Every firing produced something different, unpredictable, and unforgettable. And this is just the beginning. We’re already preparing for Maine Raku Firing Festival 2026, and next year we’re expanding in a big way. Get ready for: • More firing techniques and specialty glaze zones • Additional kilns and firing stations to reduce wait times • Expanded vendor booths featuring artists, tools, equipment, and handmade goods • New educational demos with deeper dives into glaze chemistry • And for the first time ever, live music to round out the experience If you love Raku, ceramics, or community-driven creative events, you won’t want to miss what’s coming in 2026. This festival is growing, evolving, and already setting the stage for something even bigger in the years ahead.
