Dominic and the Lucid/Jeff Beam

Dominic and the Lucid were once described as having "the unique ability to defy convention while retaining an air of familiarity and comfort." It is this quality that makes them so immediately likable. Established in 2003, the band originally featured Charles C. Gagne on drums, Nathan Cyr on bass, and Dominic Lavoie's guitar and melodic, intricate vocal. These three members hail from a small town on the border of Maine and Canada, and have known each other for most of their lives. Along with the recent addition of Scott Mohler on guitar and keys, the band has solidified into something greater than just the sum of its parts.

Voted or nominated either best live act, best male vocal, or best album in the Portland Phoenix Best Music Poll every year since their inception, Dominic and the Lucid have been stalwart in the Portland, Maine music scene from the start. They have since gone on to establish their presence at festivals and clubs throughout New England and New York, and their catalogue consists of several EPs and compilation credits, as well as three very well received LPs. The band is currently working in the studio recording their fourth full length record.
