Maine Business Co-Owned By Aerosmith Drummer Closes

Joey Kramer may know how to pound the skins for one of the world's best-known bands, but apparently he had a hard time keeping the doors to his business open here in Maine.

A sign on the door of The Rockin' & Roastin' Cafe and Restaurant near the Sunday River Resort in Newry says that the building is now for sale or lease.

According to an article in the Sun Journal, a spokesperson for the business partnership said that the group decided to close the business and "focus on their core business in the coffee industry."

The business had opened early this year and not only featured Kramer's Rockin' & Roastin' coffee brands, but food, live music and great views of the ski-resort mountain area.  The restaurant was a collaborative effort between Kramer and Les Otten, a former vice chairman of the Boston Red Sox.
