Beloved Maine rapper Spose returns to Bangor with his defiantly honest lyrics and masterful storytelling for a concert at Bangor Arts Exchange. Born Ryan M. Peters, Spose grew up in Wells. His first album, “Preposterously Dank,” sold modestly but laid the seeds for his fervent fanbase. Opening for Spose and the Humans is Bensbeendead, a Portland-based vocalist/producer who has been making a name for himself in hip-hop and electronic music. Doors open at 7 p.m. and the show begins at 8 p.m. Tickets are $20 in advance and $25 on the day of this all-ages show. For Bangor Arts Exchange members tickets are $17.
