Two Maine Mermaids was created in the dark, fearful days of the pandemic – a deliberate response to fear, danger, and divisiveness. In the midst of those dark times we oriented towards a practice to do hard things with JOY, NATURE & COMMUNITY, and in that container the magic of the Two Maine Mermaids community was born.
From divisiveness we called in NATURE. From fear we called in JOY. From danger we called in COMMUNITY. AND WE’RE READY TO DO IT ALL AGAIN!
We are so freaking proud to be part of this community! We are going to get bigger. We are going to get louder. We are going to love harder. We are going to show up stronger. WE ARE GOING TO CONTINUE TO DO HARD THINGS TOGETHER! International Women’s Day feels more important than ever in 2025, and this year is going to be OUR BIGGEST YEAR YET! We are not messing around, and are calling for 1️⃣0️⃣0️⃣0️⃣ OF YOU to join us in a massive WOMEN’S WAVE! So far, 1️⃣5️⃣6️⃣ of you have registered!! YAY!!
We are going to need everyone’s help to make this year an even bolder statement about the STRENGTH and POWER of WOMEN. Make your plans to join us for the LARGEST & COLDEST International Women’s Day Celebration in the COUNTRY! ⚡️⚡️⚡️⚡️
Our 〰️WOMEN’S WAVE〰️ welcomes anyone who is comfortable centering the experiences of women!

Midnight Breakfast:
Midnight Breakfast is an indie-soul sextet based in Portland, Maine. Originating from Orono, Midnight Breakfast
began as spontaneous late-night gatherings among college friends. From these humble beginnings, the group has
become a dynamic musical ensemble. Current members include Jennifer Shevlin-Fernandes (vocals), Reggie
Kollman (drums), Benjamin Flanagan(bass), Loren Pinkham (saxophone), Evan Dickson (guitar), and Myles Kelley(keys). Initially covering pop standards and funk tunes, they recorded their self-titled debut album during quarantine and released it in January 2021. In 2023, the band returned with their EP Bleeding Red, an exploration of grappling with life’s complexities and the quest for clarity amidst uncertainty. Over the past four years, the group has traveled across the East Coast and provided support for notable artists such as Sammy Rae & The Friends, Upstate, Stolen Gin, and Bermuda Search Party. With their unique blend of groovy melodies, kaleidoscopic improvisation, and blissfully jazz-kissed vocals,Midnight Breakfast delves into themes of love, self-discovery, and the universal search for meaning.
Louisa Stancioff:
Born and raised in rural Maine, Stancioff has emerged as a gifted writer with a cinematic eye for richly detailed, emotionally-charged character studies. A nomadic soul who spent stints living in Alaska, California, New York, and North Carolina before returning home to Maine, Stancioff grew up learning
traditional Bulgarian music from her paternal grandfather’s side of the family and reveled in singing
American folk and roots tunes with her friends. Now settled in Warren, Maine, Stancioff released her
debut album “When We Were Looking” in April 2024 with Yep Roc Records. She has toured it
extensively through the US, opening for renown bands such as Darlingside, Blitzen Trapper and Pokey
Lafarge.
