Jimsonweed Keeps Rolling Through 1970s Dance Scene
Jimsonweed, formed by Ronald Perreault and Richard Rhames, built a regional dance band following weddings and venues from Biddeford to Old Orchard Beach. The lineup solidified by 1974 with Wade Goldthwaite, John Valliere, and Roger Rondeau. They play original and eclectic covers aimed at getting crowds dancing, with regular gigs at Forefathers Inn, Bastille, and Foregathers Inn, plus greaser nights and summer bookings through July and August.
