McGowan Unveils Official Campaign Song

April 26, 2010

(BANGOR) – Democratic gubernatorial candidate Patrick McGowan today unveiled his official campaign song. “Back in Maine” was written by Mark Miller and Wayne Hendsbee in 2007, and is performed by Mark Miller. McGowan says that Mark Miller’s name is synonymous in Maine with the arts and great music.

“When you hear the name ‘Mark Miller’ in Maine, the first thing that comes to mind is a brilliant musician,” McGowan said. “He is a true ambassador for the arts in our state and he is a great friend. What’s more, his song, ‘Back in Maine’ puts so many positive memories that are held by so many Mainers to music. I am proud that we are able to use this song for our campaign. I look forward to exposing more Mainers to this piece of music as we continue to further the discussion about our beautiful state throughout this campaign.”

Mark Miller has been playing guitar since he was six-years-old. A native of Houlton and currently living in East Millinocket, Mark Miller has opened for some of the top blues musicians in the country. Mark has recorded several albums and continues performing nearly every week of the year throughout the State of Maine

McGowan, a guitar player, also announced a series of musically-themed campaign stops during the event. McGowan said that he encourages people to come to the campaign stops to hear local music and to talk about the issues that are facing the state.

“People have always been brought together by music and this campaign is about bringing people together” McGowan said. “We’ll be making a few stops on this campaign that will be built around an evening of music. I’ll have my guitar with me, we’ll have some local musicians with us, and I would encourage people who want to hear good music and have a good conversation about my ideas for this state to join us for one of these special events.”

Specific dates and times for the musically-themed campaign stops will be announced soon. For more information, visit www.mcgowanformaine.com.
