Community raises funds for Maine musician who lost his home

BELFAST -- The Waldo County Community is helping a Maine musician get back on his feet.

On December 20 of last year, Brice Sinclair and his wife Marylyn Wood-Sinclair lost their home in a house fire.

The blaze destroyed $300,000 worth of pianos, music equipment, and vinyl records.

Now, community members and friends are organizing a benefit concert at the American Legion in Belfast.

Samuel Ladd, friend of Sinclair and concert organizer, spoke about what it means to support the local musician.

"I think it's gonna be uplifting and it's gonna be a positive experience. I think it'll help lift them up," said Ladd. "And it will be great to help Brice out, and Marylyn, and help them get back on their feet."

The concert is scheduled to take place on January 29, at 2 p.m. Proceeds from the day will support the Sinclair family.
