BELFAST – Acclaimed singer-songwriter Caroline Cotter will kick off the third season of shows at the Underground Lounge at 17 Court Street in Belfast on Thursday, Oct. 24 at 7 p.m. Known for her warm, soulful voice and poignant storytelling, Cotter promises a meaningful evening of music full of the nostalgia and longing that are the basis of her songs.
With five albums under her belt, including her 2023 release “Gently as I Go”, Cotter has been delighting audiences with her distinctive voice and eclectic style since 2015. With a background in both music and education, her work reflects a deep commitment to community and a passion for exploring the world through song. Her songs, often described as a blend of Americana, folk, and world music, are deeply personal yet universally resonant, drawing listeners into stories of love, travel, and self-discovery.

In its third season, the Underground Lounge is Belfast’s DIY community music series, known for its cozy atmosphere and commitment to showcasing a diverse range of artists. Located in the basement of the Basil Burwell Community Theatre the lounge gets transformed before each show, becoming an intimate, unpretentious space with couches, cafe tables, and mismatched chairs. Beverages and homemade baked goods from the small open kitchen round out the welcoming coffee shop atmosphere. As its name suggests, the Underground Lounge operates a bit off the radar. It is a purely volunteer-led group, interested in bringing people together through the long Maine off-season. Tickets are $10 (cash only) at the door. All of the proceeds, after rent and expenses, go to the artists performing.
