Steve Hartmann and High Tea at Stage 33 Live
BELLOWS FALLS — Singer-songwriter Steve Hartmann’s electrifying vocals and deft guitar have been described as “the grey” between an acoustic Dave Matthews and Damion Rice. Using effects, looper pedals, and his dynamic voice, his sound and style are unique and readily identifiable. Chris Carrabba of Dashboard Confessional and Twin Forks says, “Steve’s vocals are pristine.” Livingston Taylor states, “I was blown away — speechless.” Born in Dalat, Vietnam, near the end of the Vietnam War, Steve was adopted when he was five months old. Struggling to find a sense of belonging, he found music at the age of 12.
High Tea from Massachusetts delivers a blend of old blues and new pop with soulful harmonies and smoldering guitar riffs — songs ripe with Americana heartbreak and heat, punctuated with tales of growing up, going wild, and always coming back to the ones you love.
Music starts at 6:30 on Sunday, September 18 — $10 in advance through stage33live.com reserves a chair up front, $15 at the door. Seating is limited to 40. The event will be recorded and filmed.
The COVID-19 protocol will be the guidelines in effect in the community on show day. Currently the guidance is that masks are optional, which may change without notice.
Stage 33 Live is a casual and intimate industrial-rustic listening room in a former factory hosting local, regional, and national performances and presentations of original material. No bar or kitchen, the stage is the mission; coffee / soda / juice / water and weird snacks available by donation.

Stage 33 Live gratefully acknowledges the help of so many individuals without whom none of this would be happening, and institutional support this season from The Island Corporation, the Vermont Arts Council, the Bellows Falls Opera House, and the Rockingham Arts & Museum Project that helped fund improvements and maintenance, and generally smooth out a lot of the rough edges. Stage 33 Live is a 501(c)3 nonprofit organization, and all donations are deductible to the fullest extent. Volunteers run the thing from stem to stern.
