There’s never a bad time to throw your support behind the local musicians you love in Maine, but there’s something about the holiday season that makes it feel all the more worthwhile. Several local acts offer a wide range of goodies, and you can spend as little as a dollar for a sticker or guitar pick or a few hundred on a personalized song. Should you accidentally scoop up a few things for yourself along the way, consider it money well spent, as you’re doing your part to keep the local acts you love afloat.

Here’s a snapshot of stocking-worthy items for sale by Maine musicians. For more ideas, check in with the bands that you and those on your shopping list love and see what they’re selling.

Bait Bag is the feminist punk trio out on North Haven Island, and they’ve got a ton of fun swag, including hoodies, long- and short-sleeve shirts, beanie hats, stickers, guitar picks and three sizes of patches. Scoop it up at baitbagtheband.com/merch.

A few pages of “Pinecone Pete” written by Spose and illustrated by Steve Gendron. Image courtesy of Spose.

Rapper Spose is Maine’s king of hip-hop, and on sposemusic.com, you’ll find a ton of T-shirts and hats. But did you know he wrote a children’s book? It’s called “Pinecone Pete is Not Impressed,” and it’s illustrated by artist Steve Gendron. Spose, whose real name is Ryan Peters, and his wife, Kristi Cochin Peters, have four young children, so this project makes sense for him. “Pinecone Pete is Not Impressed” is a delightful grass-is-always-greener tale, and you can find it in hard and soft cover at Bull Moose stores and at bullmoose.com.

Singer-songwriter Chris Kemp White writes custom songs. He’ll send you a questionnaire to learn about the person for whom he’s writing the song, including their likes and dislikes, astrological sign, special qualities and characteristics, as well as a photograph. White also involves the gift-giver in the process to make sure the song is just right. The end result, for $200, is an acoustic song on CD with the printed lyrics mounted on frameable card stock. Head to chriskempwhite.com for more info.
