PORTLAND, Maine — Scott Kirby is no stranger to what a musician’s life on the road is like. In fact, it’s how he became known as a “Road Warrior.”
Kirby, who splits his time between Kittery and Key West, has performed in 41 states since May 1 of this year. In his multiple decades as a singer-songwriter, Kirby has worked with musicians like Carole King, Jimmy Buffett, Tom Rush, and Darius Rucker.
Whether he’s writing about the islands off of Florida or the rocky Maine coast, you can hear the ocean’s impact on Kirby’s life in many of his songs -- songs that many times can be heard on SiriusXM Radio Margaritaville.

Kirby is bringing those songs to Portland this week, performing at One Longfellow Square on Thursday, Aug. 25. If you can’t make that show, you can catch him at McGuirk’s Oceanview in Hampton Beach, NH on Sunday, Sept. 4.
