• Advance ticket sales will shut down at midnight the day before the show if it hasn’t sold out.
• An advance ticket guarantees that you’ll get in if it sells out, and advance ticket holders are guaranteed seating.

• You can change the number of tickets after you click through.
• The transaction fee is rolled into the ticket price.
• A Paypal account is not required. There will be a link to proceed without one, but they make it small and tricksy.
• Performers get all the ticket money. That’s the only income we have. We’re all volunteers. There are options to support Stage 33 Live with an additional $2 or $5 above the ticket price to help us pay the bills and maintain the gear, and from time to time even fund improvements.
• These options are optional! There is no shame in not selecting one!
• After completing, a “success” page should pop up and you should get an email from Paypal. You should also get a confirmation email from us, but that one may take a day or two.

• We won’t sell your info to anybody. We won’t even add you to our secret email newsletter coterie unless you ask.

• Questions? Drop us a line at stage33@stage33live.com or text/voicemail 802-289-0148. (Text is generally better. Protip: We don’t have actual staff to answer the phone.)
Phil Henry and Erin Ash Sullivan at Stage 33 Live
BELLOWS FALLS — A pair of exceptional performing songwriters, Phil Henry and Erin Ash Sullivan, will play a 3:00 matinee at Stage 33 Live on September 7, 2025. Tickets are $20 in advance through stage33live.com or at the door as available. Advance tickets guarantee entry. Only 40 tickets will be sold.
Phil Henry is a singer-songwriter steeped in folk tradition, but not bound by it. He’s penned a treasure chest of relatable tunes about both everyday and extraordinary life, building detailed worlds and characters with vivid imagery, upbeat rhythm, and strong melodic sensibility. His songs are often described in cinematic terms by journalists and fans. Although he studied the masters in music school, he was drawn to the DIY pluckiness of folk music. He’s earned contest wins at SolarFest and Susquehanna Music and Arts, and showcase and main stage slots at Falcon Ridge, was showcased at Kerrville and the NorthEast Regional Folk Alliance, and has played celebrated venues like Club Passim and Caffe Lena. No carbon-copy of popular songs or folk radio, his art is an expression of individuality and craftsmanship.
Erin Ash Sullivan was half of the folk duo Edith O. along with Amy Speace in New York City in the ’90s. They performed regularly at NYC venues like the Bitter End and CBGB Gallery, and released the album Tattooed Queen in 1998 to critical raves. It’s possible that the band broke up when Erin — a sleep-deprived mother of a six-week-old — forgot to show up for the band’s record release show. After a hiatus to focus on her family and career in education, she returned to writing and performing. In 2022 she was selected as a “Most Wanted” performer from Grassy Hill Emerging Artist Showcase at the Falcon Ridge Folk Festival, and was John Platt’s selection for the Folk DJ Showcase at NERFA. She was the recipient of the Mark Erelli Judge’s Choice Award in the New England Songwriting Competition; a Songwriter Serenade semifinalist; a finalist in the 2021 Rose Garden Performing Songwriter Competition; and a finalist in the 2021 Mid-Atlantic Song Contest. She is also the three-time winner of her hometown’s Fourth of July pie eating contest.
Phil Henry and Erin Ash Sullivan will play a 3:00 matinee at Stage 33 Live on September 7, 2025. Tickets are $20 in advance through stage33live.com or at the door as available. Advance tickets guarantee entry. Only 40 tickets will be sold. 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.
