Synthfests at Stage 33 Live

BELLOWS FALLS — There will be two electronic music performance concerts celebrating synthesizers, circuit-bending, and sound manipulation on January 10 and February 7 at Stage 33 Live, 33 Bridge Street in Bellows Falls, Vermont.

Each session will open with a meet-and-greet at 6:00 PM. Get up close to the gear (look but don’t touch), talk with the performers, settle into the space. Five 20-minute performances will follow, starting at 7:00.

Players will be in the center of the room, with the audience in the round and encouraged to roam throughout the show. The performances will range from cinematic and lush to computeresque and urgent to tuneful and poppy. It will get loud.

             · Deep Seize
             · Dutch Experts
             · Holly Brewer

Carl Goulet and Sandiland & Vincent at Stage 33 Live

BELLOWS FALLS — Like many rural musicians, Carl Goulet is a hidden gem who flies a little under the radar… an honest and heart-forward performing songwriter with the chops and fluency of artists who get a lot more attention. Passionate, sometimes political, sometimes humorous, always thoughtful. The Daily UV said that his album Gazebo “charms the listener with gentle melodies yet packs a punch with the depth of wisdom and love.” The clarity and purity of his writing and performing is seldom matched.

Similarly, Sandiland & Vincent have carefully honed their craft over years, producing songs with beautiful arrangements and tight, rich harmonies. Vincent has been playing guitar and bass for over 50 years, and Sandi has been in bands and duos since she was 19.

This is going to be a relaxed but mighty two-for-one 3:00 matinee on Sunday, January 25, 2026. Tickets are just $10 in advance through stage33live.com or at the door as available; advance tickets guarantee entry. Only 40 tickets will be sold. All the ticket money goes to the performers. The performances will be recorded and filmed.

Sunburned Hand of the Man at Stage 33 Live

BELLOWS FALLS — Sunburned Hand of the Man are an enigmatic experimental collective with a stunningly large discography and frequent personnel changes. Incorporating elements of free jazz, space rock, psych-rock, hypno krautrock, drone, folk, funk, punk, and dirty synth, their live shows are a surprise every time — even to them, usually — ranging from wild improvisatory freak-outs to more coherently sculpted material careening from unsettling to hypnotic to mellow.

According to Sean Kitching, writing in The Quietus in 2016, “Sunburned at their best are capable of taking the listener on a shamanic, boogie-fueled trip outside of quotidian reality. Live shows blend monstrous tectonics of rhythm, caustic guitar, echoing phased vocals, insect electronics, and kitchen sink instrumentation that collide in an ecstatic racket.”

Throughout the mid-’90s they represented New England’s “free rock” contingency, and the “free folk” — sometimes misnomered “freak folk” — era described by David Keenan’s 2003 New Weird America.

There will be no opener for this show, it will be 100% Sunburned. It’s likely to be loud. Stage 33 Live has no idea what the lineup will be, or how long the show will go. This is in accordance with the strange purity of Sunburned Hand of the Man.

February 28, 2026, which is a Saturday, at 7:00 PM. Tickets are just $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. More info at the stage33live.com website.

Tracy Grammer & Jim Henry with Carling Berkhout at Stage 33 Live

BELLOWS FALLS — Tracy Grammer & Jim Henry are an exquisite pairing. Impeccable musicianship, perfect harmonies, and all the chemistry and banter you’d expect from musicians who have been touring and playing around the world together for over 20 years.

They will perform on Saturday, April 11, 2026, in a 3:00 matinee show at Stage 33 Live in Bellows Falls, Vermont. Carling Berkhout will open. Tickets are a discounted $20 in advance through stage33live.com, or $25 at the door as available. Advance tickets guarantee entry. Only 40 tickets will be sold.

Grammer, called “one of the finest pure musicians in folkdom” by the Boston Globe, is known for her soothing vocals, spirited fiddle, entertaining stories, and punchy, intricate guitar work. A one-time member of Joan Baez’s band, she has traveled throughout North America, Europe, and Japan playing her own songs while also paying tribute to beloved songwriter Dave Carter, with whom she performed and recorded from 1996 until his sudden death in 2002.

Henry is an accomplished singer, songwriter, producer, and one of folk and Americana’s go-to multi-instrumentalists. He was recently on the road for three years with Grammy-winner Mary Chapin Carpenter. His arsenal includes acoustic and electric guitars, Dobro, and mandolin, and his trademark ambient textures and sparkling solos can be heard on literally hundreds of songwriter albums.

Carling Berkhout will open. Her dad has roots as a folkie songster, and her mom as a symphonic cellist. When she was a child, she played Beatles songs backward in her friend’s rabbit-themed bedroom that the two believed was haunted. She continues to both unravel and glue together her life’s complicated musical threads in a sonic world that exists somewhere between bedroom rock and the dynamic balance of a David Rawlings & Gillian Welch record.

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, WOOL-FM, Guilford Sound, and the Rockingham Arts & Museum Project to help fund improvements and maintenance, and generally smooth out a lot of the rough edges.

Los Lorcas and Pat Byrne at Stage 33 Live

BELLOWS FALLS — Los Lorcas celebrates the release of their new album, Wild Island, with a concert blurring the boundaries between spoken word and song, weaving poetry with Andalusian ballads, blues, rock, folk, reggae, hip hop, Americana, and jazz in pursuit of the cante jondo (“deep song”). Their timely and soulful compositions weave themes of love, loss, homelessness, empathy, activism, and gratitude through a filter of the American dream.

In the spirit of Federico Garcia Lorca — gifted musician, legendary poet/playwright, and ebullient performer — poets Partridge Boswell and Peter Money, along with guitarist Nat Williams, fuse poetry and music in a passionate and surprising mash-up.

Troubadouring widely in the US, Ireland, Canada, and Slovenia, Los Lorcas have performed everywhere from farmhouse kitchens to pubs, coffeehouses, schools, theaters, and festival crowds.

“An Orphic voice… absolutely gorgeous.” — Chard deNiord, Vermont Poet Laureate

“Inspiring the quietest observer to reach for each word as if they were Federico Lorca himself, meditating on song and poetry mid-stage, arms outstretched.” — Bianca Viñas

Pat Byrne shares the bill. After winning The Voice of Ireland, he migrated from County Carlow to Austin, Texas and has been melding two musical cultures known for introspective lyricism and raw, from-the-heart emotion with a voice that ranges from seductive whisper to full-bodied rock ‘n’ roll growl.

His unmistakable voice and cinematic lyrics touch our universal humanity, taking listeners on an emotional journey.

The first song Pat ever learned was Folsom Prison Blues by Johnny Cash.

“Irish Americana, by turns rollicking and resonating, driven by his gruff growl of a voice — he’s one to keep an eye on.” — The Boston Globe

“Byrne traffics in the kind of earnest roots rock championed by artists like Shakey Graves.” — Tom Thornton, Riff Magazine

“The raspy melodic soul of Byrne’s voice recalls the emotional spells the late Austin troubadour Jimmy LaFave used to cast, though Byrne’s songwriting bears a distinctive Irish stamp. He’s more contemporary than strict traditionalists, putting him more in the league of Glen Hansard or Luka Bloom.” — Peter Blackstock, The Austin American Statesman

“When you combine the transcendent poetry of Bob Dylan with the gritty, real-world rock-n-roll storytelling Bruce Springsteen made so famous, and add a dash of the political activism embodied by Woody Guthrie and Pete Seeger, you’ll have Irish singer-songwriter Pat Byrne.” — Folk Alley at 30A Songwriters Festival

Kray Van Kirk with John Fealy at Stage 33 Live

BELLOWS FALLS — A fine fingerstyle guitarist with a precise baritone, Kray Van Kirk (who has a Ph.D. in fisheries population dynamics modeling from the University of Alaska) set science aside to write songs, tell stories, and summon heroes.

Van Kirk is not the average crying-in-your-coffee singer-songwriter… he’s charming, Quixotic, and decidedly eclectic. “We are driven by myth and the seasons of the heart,” he says, “and the stories are all true. There is a dark cave inside each of us, and monsters of all kinds lurk there, all the more lethal for being hidden. The quest is to journey inside, render the monsters powerless, find whatever it is that burns at the core of your soul and bring it back into the light. In a world divided it is critical to write songs and tell stories that show absolutely everyone they get to be the hero. Nobody is left behind.”

Thus his songs: Thunderbird resurrects the Phoenix in an empty desert diner in the American Southwest… The Queen of Elfland plucks Thomas the Rhymer from the English-Scottish border in 1250 and drops him and the Queen into a subway car… The Library Song has Superman moonlighting among the stacks… Rosa and Hector ride through Sherwood Forest on canes and a wheelchair… The Midnight Commander celebrates an insane old man leading the city of New York to take up arms (and underwear) against hatred.

“The Alaskan singer-songwriter, in his Edinburgh debut, was not the reason I arrived early, but was certainly why I stayed late.” — The Daily Fringe Review

John Fealy is a Vermont folk singer, and his acoustic music — made on finger-style steel string guitar, banjo, ukulele, and piano — is rooted deep in his heart and aims to share his love of humanity, nature, and the greater forces of life. He’s a father, husband, and a dedicated street outreach worker. And also the lead singer of the band Ox Child.

Kray Van Kirk with John Fealy at Stage 33 Live in Bellows Falls, Vermont, on May 17, 2026 in a 3:00 matinee. Tickets are $15 in advance through stage33live.com, or $20 at the door as available. Advance tickets guarantee entry. Only 40 tickets will be sold.

Justin Levinson & Josh Glass and Marty Royle at Stage 33 Live

BELLOWS FALLS — Justin Levinson is an award-winning, multi-talented singer, songwriter and musician with a penchant for lyrical whimsy, earworm melodies, British Invasion-loving songwriting, and erudite power-pop. He’s renowned for a catalog of songs covering territory from power-pop to country to “feel-good heartbreak”, earning steady praise from audiences and critics alike.

His ode to small-town life, City With Two Streetlights on his debut record 1175 BOYLSTON, spent eight weeks on the top 25 CMJ charts. He’s won the Billboard Song Contest, the International Acoustic Music Awards Best New Male Artist, as well as a nomination for Sirius Song Writer Discovery of the Year.

Influenced by the greats of the ’60s, Justin draws elements from his favorite artists of that era — the Beatles, The Zombies, The Beach Boys. He has even drawn comparisons to Ben Folds.

He’ll be bringing singer-songwriter/pianist Josh Glass with him as a sideman… a formidable duo.

Marty Royle is perhaps best known as the lead singer of the popular longtime DC indie-rock stalwarts Washington Social Club, which made fun, witty power pop for more than two decades. MTV ran a feature on them back when MTV was a music channel, and Marty once somehow made Robert Smith of The Cure laugh. This will be a solo performance.

Clever popster performing songwriters Justin Levinson and Marty Royle split the bill in a 3:00 matinee on August 30. Singer-songwriter / pianist Josh Glass will perform with Justin. Tickets are $15 in advance through stage33live.com, or $20 at the door as available. Advance tickets guarantee entry. Only 40 tickets will be sold. More information at the stage33live.com website.
