Orono in Supervolcano
Squirt Frog and the Evolving Tadpoles had played several shows in Orono, Maine on or near the University of Maine campus which were relatively successful. The band was at a loose ends trying to determine where to go next when Justin Nachman received a call from a promoter in Greenville. He negotiated a contract with money up front and agreed the band would play ten days hence. The band was on its way to Greenville in a snowstorm when a flipped transport truck near Guilford blocked the route leaving them stranded in that small town for the winter.
