Thompsons offer 2 shows his weekend

  

  "We have a lot of fun performing we love doing it! And for these two shows, we'll be doing 

some holiday selections as well as some of our original music ?so they will be festive."

So spoke Meredith Thompson (flute, percussion and harmony vocals) who, with her identical 

twin sister Chris (guitar and melody vocals), will be offering concerts at 1 p.m. Saturday 

at the Lithgow Public Library on Winthrop Street in Augusta and at 7 p.m. Sunday at the 

First Congregational Church on Eustis Parkway in Waterville.

"'We've played at both venues before," Thompson said. "We played at the library a couple 

of summers ago outside ? but this coming show will definitely be inside," she said with a 

laugh. "The Waterville church we played last spring (and) we had a great, really wonderful 

audience. It's a beautiful church, and we're looking forward to going back to both places."

The sweet-sounding siblings, whose family is from the Waterville area, are coming off one... 

of the most successful summers ever. They

performed the National Anthem at Fenway Park in front of 33,000 people at a July 7 Red Sox 

game and also got to play the main stage at the famed Falconridge Folk Festival. This past

 summer also marked the release of the twin's fifth album, "Clearwater."

"It came out in June of 2002," Thompson said. "We will be playing a lot of the music from

 Clearwater and the title track is about the actual boat, The Clearwater, which was refurbished.

I think it might have also been built in Deer Isle, so there's a Maine connection there."

Maine's own Cordon Bok was one of the first to be on the crew on that ship. .

_"We learned that when we opened for him!"
