Tom Pirozzoli Album Release Show with Carl Beverly and Rich Ewald at Stage 33 Live
BELLOWS FALLS — Stage 33 Live is please to welcome the return of two favorites, and a new soon-to-be-favorite.
Tom Pirozzoli’s recordings have had national and international success, and he’s in the Smithsonian Folkways Collection. He’s been on the Top 40 AAA charts, and had a featured release at Tower Records in Los Angeles and Nashville. He’s worked with artists like Greg Brown, Jesse Winchester, Doc Watson, and Willy Porter.
Sophisticated guitar playing forms a rich backdrop for his warm tenor, with melodies and lyrics exploring a wide range of the human and global experience. His encounters with people, cultures, and ideas while traveling Europe, South America, India, Southeast Asia, China, and Tibet continue to enrich and deepen his music. His relaxed stage presence features endearing, funny, insightful patter.
“Good sound, man!” – Taj Mahal
“You can’t write like he does without leaning into each line.” – Willy Porter
“Hypnotic soothing vocals and rich guitar textures… well crafted.” – Sing Out
“Pirozzoli’s poetic lyrics make his songs worth reading as well as hearing.” – Boston Sunday Globe
Tom’s new album, “21”, features 21 instrumental tracks.
Carl Beverly from Warner, New Hampshire, has a distinctive rhythmic finger-picking style that grooves without straying far from a mellow folk grounding. His personal, relatable writing about the joys and sorrows of life, family, friends, and nature, along with his easygoing personality, have made him a Stage 33 Live favorite. He’s been songwriting since the ‘70s and is a frequent performer at area coffee houses, open mics, and assisted living homes. Carl does much of his writing while hiking in his beloved Mink Hills.
Rich Ewald will be making his first appearance at Stage 33 Live. This is how he introduced himself: “Ancient local resident bored with singing to the walls of his house. Due to arthritic hands no longer plays guitar or keyboard in public, but coaxes original songs about place, family, love mortality – folk, chant, bluesy/rockish tunes and drummed rhythms – from a 21-chord Oscar Schmidt autoharp, the most widely-respected manufacturer of the instrument and the one with the highest consonant-to-vowel ratio in its name.”
Tom Pirozzoli and Carl Beverly will perform at Stage 33 Live on Sunday, January 26 in a 3:00 matinee. Rich Ewald will open the show. Tickets are a discounted $10 in advance through stage33live.com, or $15 at the door. Advance tickets guarantee entry. All proceeds go to the artists. The performances 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 information 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.
