Backstory:
Weekend Fund was born out of a group of high school friends from the small town of Buxton, Maine. The band’s members, Greg on lead vocals, Paul on guitar, Nate on drums, and Liam on bass, all had a shared passion for music and spent their weekends busking outside their local grocery store to raise funds for new equipment and studio time. The band’s name was inspired by this very practice, reflecting their beginning stages as well as their approach to music – something they love and something that brings them together.
Their big break came when a local radio DJ happened to be grocery shopping one day, was impressed by their sound, and gave them a chance to play on air. The exposure led to a record deal and their debut album. Despite their success, the band never lost their small-town charm and their music still resonated with those humble beginnings.

I used to pass by them every weekend and I’ve seen them grow from being that small-town band to the successful musicians they are now. For me, their music is a piece of home I carry everywhere.
