Aleda Bliss with Johnny Gifford and Trevor Robinson at Stage 33 Live
BELLOWS FALLS — Aleda Bliss is a Vermont-born and -raised performer, producer, songwriter, and poet. In her first appearance at Stage 33 Live, she presents an exclusive in-the-round Listening Party for her unreleased new album, Every Song on This Playlist Is for You, enhanced with performance and projection art.
The album, written on returning to her home state during the pandemic, was co-produced and recorded in Burlington, Vermont, with indie-pop producer Christopher Hawthorn. She calls it “a striptease with grief… it’s about oppositional force, the way we simultaneously shed and bloom. And the patience that takes. And the tenderness. And the trust.”
In a media world that thrives on instant saves and replays, this Listening Party is an open invitation to sit together and ask the question: How do we listen with no guaranteed repeat?
Johnny Gifford and Trevor Robinson will open with largely improvised unnerving ambient treated-guitar and -bass, maybe synthesizers, and maybe sax, and probably voice.
Tickets are $10 in advance through stage33live.com or $10 at the door. Advance tickets guarantee entry. All ticket proceeds go to the performers. This is a 7:00 PM show on Saturday, April 27, 2024. Stage 33 Live is located at 33 Bridge Street in Bellows Falls VT. Admission is limited to 40; the event will be recorded and filmed.
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. More info about the nonprofit, all-volunteer project, and this and other upcoming events, online at stage33live.com
Stage 33 Live gratefully acknowledges the help of so many individuals without whom none of this would be able to happen, and institutional support this season from The Island Corporation, the Vermont Arts Council, Guilford Sound, WOOL-FM, the Rockingham Arts & Museum Project, and Chroma Technologies to help 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.
