Experience Julia Keefe live on October 15th

Julia Keefe is scheduled to perform at the State Theatre in Portland, Maine on October 15, 2026. Keefe’s musical style blends elements of indie folk, dream pop, and chamber music, often featuring intricate arrangements with strings and piano alongside her vocals. Her songwriting is characterized by lyrical depth and atmospheric soundscapes. She released her debut album *Healing the Lines* in 2023 to critical acclaim and has been touring extensively since.

The State Theatre originally opened in 1929 as a vaudeville house and movie palace. Designed by architect Charles H. Blackley, it showcased both film and live performances throughout its early history. Over the decades, it transitioned primarily to a concert venue, hosting a diverse range of artists across genres including rock, pop, country, and comedy.

Significant renovations occurred in 1997 restoring many of the theatre’s original Art Deco features. The venue is known for its ornate interior, including detailed plasterwork and a grand staircase. It currently operates as a prominent performance space within Portland's arts and entertainment district with a capacity of approximately 1,900 people.
