New and old lovers, near and far... Even though times are challenging right now, we want to be a part of spreading love on this special day by presenting our first "State Lunch Sweetheart Dinner". This dinner will also include a virtual performance by Maine based singer/songwriter Pete Kilpatrick. ABOUT THE PERFORMER: After completing high school, Pete took a few years off before attending college to focus his energy on a full-time career as a musician. He wrote and recorded his first album, Half Way Home, back in 2003. Between networking and a near constant performing schedule throughout New England he began to develop a loyal following that would continue to grow over the years. The next ten years in Pete’s career saw the successful release of six additional albums (totaling over 40,000 albums sold), a brief record deal with Epic Records and over 1,000 live performances, with shows alongside Dave Matthews Band, Ray Lamontagne, Guster, Barenaked Ladies, Jason Mraz and many others. WHERE/WHEN DO I PICK UP MY MEAL? Meals must be picked up on Sunday, February 14th between 10am-2pm at State Lunch (217 Water Street, Augusta).
