Dan & Faith and Temple Mountain at Stage 33 Live

BELLOWS FALLS — Acoustic folk singer-songwriters Dan & Faith and Temple Mountain will play the Stage 33 Live listening room in Bellows Falls, Vermont, on Sunday, March 23 in a 3:00 PM matinee.

Dan and Faith are an award-winning, multi-instrumentalist, New England-based husband and wife singer-songwriter duo who tap into dreams and everyday life in crafting their original songs. Their sound is rooted in tight, interwoven vocal harmonies, supported by varied instrumentation and an occasional a cappella treatment. They introduce or follow most songs with additional storytelling about the characters and places in each one, and the inspiration behind them. The duo travels throughout the U.S. and Canada in a camper-van packed with instruments, bringing their music and stories to coffeehouses, festivals, libraries, house concerts, and listening rooms.

“With catchy music and thoughtful lyrics, these multi-instrumentalists write and sing songs about uncomfortable truths, current events, and the political events that shape the country today. Interspersed between serious topics, Dan and Faith show their sense of fun and regale us with songs about food, time, and life from a dog’s perspective.” — Jan Sheehy of The Milkhouse Heaters

“Warmly and honestly portray themselves with an expansive panorama of acoustic styles that reflects their enlightened world view: a deep love for words and music, and a compassionate earth-based spirituality.” — Pete Kennedy

“As singer-songwriters they remain true to their open-mic/coffeehouse/music-in-the-round roots.” — Nick Noble, host of The Folk Revival on WICN

Temple Mountain is a singer-songwriter raised in the vibrant soundscape of Long Island, New York, and inspired by the timeless melodies of The Beatles, Peter, Paul & Mary, and Simon & Garfunkel. Studying to become a licensed therapist, he brings an introspective and therapeutic approach to his music, integrating themes of mental health, self-discovery, and the intricacies of the human experience. His songs resonate with raw honesty that speaks to both personal and universal struggles.

“Heartfelt acoustic-folk with smooth, intimate vocals and gentle guitar.” – Caesar Live N Loud

Bethanie Yeakle, Marty Royle, and Trevor Robinson at Stage 33 Live

BELLOWS FALLS — Three strong writers and performers, each bringing something different and remarkable to the stage, in a noteworthy threefer show.

Singer / songwriter / multi-instrumentalist / composer / performing artist Bethanie Yeakle captures the essence of moments in a powerful voice. She’s a veteran of the Falcon Ridge Folk Festival, The Guthrie Center, and Club Passim. As a solo performer she’s shared stages with Tune-Yards, Antje Duvekot, Anais Mitchell, Slaid Cleaves, and more; in bands and as a side, the list includes My Morning Jacket, Richard Lloyd Group, Bill Kirchen, and more. Yeakle has composed music for independent film, and can be glimpsed on the big screen as a musician/featured-extra in Ang Lee’s “Taking Woodstock”.

“Beautiful siren singing and signaling that the end times have been here all along… hippie in biker boots.” – Constantina Zavitsanos

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.

Trevor Robinson is equally at home performing clever, quirky folk or meandering electronic improvisations. This will be a solo acoustic set.

Bethanie Yeakle, Marty Royle, and Trevor Robinson will play the Stage 33 Live listening room at 33 Bridge Street in Bellows Falls, Vermont, on Sunday, April 6 at 6:00 PM. Tickets are $15 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.

John Stowell and Draa Hobbs at Stage 33 Live

BELLOWS FALLS — World-class jazz at Stage 33 Live in Bellows Falls, Vermont, with guitarists John Stowell and Draa Hobbs performing as a duo on April 27, 2025, at 7:00 PM.

John Stowell’s original take on harmony, chords, and improvisation sets him apart — a jazz guitarist influenced as much by pianists and horn players as he is by guitarists. Based on the West Coast, Stowell has been Artist-In-Residence at centers in Germany, Indonesia, Argentina, the United States, and Canada, and has been a contributing columnist for a number of magazines, including Downbeat, Guitar Player, Canadian Musician, Soundcheck (Germany), and Guitar Club (Italy).

In 1983, John joined flutist Paul Horn, bassist David Friesen, and Paul’s son Robin Horn for a historic tour of the Soviet Union… the first time in forty years that an American jazz group had been invited to play public performances in Russia. With bassist David Friesen, John was featured on the soundtracks of two Academy Award Nominated shorts, and the album Through the Listening Glass with David Friesen was chosen of the “Ten Best Jazz Albums of the Decade” by the Los Angeles Examiner. He’s had several appearances on BET Jazz Discovery and Guitar Series television shows. He has recorded and performed with Milt Jackson, Lionel Hampton, Art Farmer, Herb Ellis, Bill Watrous, and many more. John maintains a robust live performance schedule.

“In the age of mediocrity and clones, John Stowell’s uniqueness and originality are a breath of fresh air. I love playing with him.” — Paul Horn

“John Stowell plays jazz, but he doesn’t use any of the clichés; he has an incredible originality. John is a master creator.” — Larry Coryell

“More guitarists would play like John Stowell if they knew how.” — Herb Ellis

“Guitarist John Stowell’s style with standards is a delightful departure from the road well traveled. He transcends the label of jazz guitarist.” — Los Angeles Times

“He plays his amplified guitar as if he were surrounded by fine crystal… the type of slow burning, sustained energy that you hear in players that practice all the time.” — Downbeat

Draa Hobbs grew up in Chicago and has made his home in Southern Vermont since 1980, teaching and performing. He studied music with the legendary Jimmy Raney, Attila Zoller, Gene Bertoncini, and Peter Lietch. Attila ended up inviting Draa to perform in clubs, concerts, and radio with him and his high-profile peers, including pianists Roland Hanna, Don Friedman, and Larry Willis; bassists George Mraz, Ron McClure, and Michael Formanek; and saxophonists Lee Konitz and Nick Brignola, to name a few. Draa and pianist Eugene Uman a duet for the German label ENJA’s CD Message To Attila that also had tracks by Pat Metheny, Jim Hall, John Abercrombie, Peter Bernstein, and others. He regularly performs with many of the region’s best players, and has enjoyed more than a decade of collaboration with John Stowell.

“Draa hobbs plays in the tradition of classic jazz guitar, but he has found his own voice. He’s a player in the moment, creating melodies and avoiding cliches. he has a warm dark sound and swings with the best of them. I love playing with him.” — John Stowell

“It’s rare to find someone so passionate about music that it serves as both their spiritual nourishment and their unfettered gift to others… one of the most respected guitarists and teachers in New England.” — Eugene Uman, Director of the Vermont Jazz Center

John Stowell and Draa Hobbs will play the Stage 33 Live listening room at 33 Bridge Street in Bellows Falls, Vermont, on Sunday, April 27, 2025 at 7:00 PM.

Sled Wrenches and Bird Boombox at Stage 33 Live

BELLOWS FALLS — A matinee pair of undiscovered bands at Stage 33 Live in Bellows Falls, Vermont… Sled Wrenches from up there in the northeast, and Bird Boombox also from up there but the other side of the state, on May 18, 2025, at 3:00 PM. This show is exactly the kind of thing Stage 33 Live was born for — to give emerging acts a shot.

Sled Wrenches plays original country, blues, rock, island, and a bit of jazz — they call it “boogernose eclectic”… we’re not sure what that means, but they’ve clearly got a comedic streak. They have an album called Hound Dog 5, and are working on another. One of the few things we do know for sure is that one of their members is Don Sinclair, the very talented and tasteful guitarist for David Rosane and The Zookeepers, who we’ve had in the room twice playing fundraisers for the library.

Bird Boombox is a trio self-described as “alternative angst”, but they’re not as shoegazey and emo as that might sound. Elsewhere they’re described as “a vessel for the vibrations of the natural world and a catalyst for community connection,” which isn’t as catchy — but more accurate. Their lead singer / guitarist, Josh Cummings, hit one of our increasingly rare open mics a while ago and turned in a quirky, engaging performance.

This one will be a fun voyage of discovery.

Sled Wrenches and Bird Boombox will play the Stage 33 Live listening room at 33 Bridge Street in Bellows Falls, Vermont, on Sunday, May 18, 2025 at 3:00 PM. Tickets are $10 in advance through stage33live.com or at the door as available. Advance tickets guarantee entry. Only 40 tickets will be sold. All proceeds go to the bands.

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.

Mark Mandeville & Raianne Richards and Luminous Crush at Stage 33 Live

BELLOWS FALLS — A pair of top-notch acoustic duos, Mark Mandeville & Raianne Richards and Luminous Crush, will be a study in simlarities and contrasts at Stage 33 Live on Sunday, September 28, 2025, at 6:00 PM.

Mark Mandeville & Raianne Richards’ unmistakable vocal harmonies, carefully-crafted and mindful lyrics, and down-to-earth personae are soul-soothing, even when they’re singing about difficult things. Their songs poetically reflect the experiences of factory workers, teachers, community organizers, and natives of post-industrial mill towns. Accompanying themselves on guitar, harmonica, ukulele, penny whistle, electric bass, and most uniquely clarinet, their live performances are musically captivating and spiritually uplifting, carefully balanced between serious and humorous. These prolific and hardworking artists have contributed over seventeen albums and tour consistently throughout the US and Canada.

“Steeped in references to nature, the environment and dilemmas of modern life, their beautifully harmonised singing is soothing to the soul, despite the sometimes troubling subject matter. Their harmonies are intuitive and exquisite.” — Eilís Boland, Lonesome Highway (Ireland)

Luminous Crush are Laura Molinelli and Bay Campbell… more uptempo than Mark & Raianne, but with a similar social conscience and depth. Also the leaders of a prolific electric dream-pop band, for this show they’ll be playing their bluegrass / alt country / Americana pop-rock in an acoustic duo configuration — something they do with great heart and impressively well.

“Luminous Crush live up to their name: They dazzle with brightly appointed music, and they’re easy to love.” — Jordan Adams, Seven Days

Mark Mandeville & Raianne Richards and Luminous Crush will play Stage 33 Live on Sunday, September 28, 2025, at 6:00 PM.

Draa Hobbs Album Release Show at Stage 33 Live

BELLOWS FALLS — Draa Hobbs has played and studied with some of the world’s best jazz players and composers — celebrated jazz guitarists including Jimmy Raney, Gene Bertoncini, and Peter Leitch, and the legendary Hungarian guitarist Attila Zoller.

Since then he has performed and worked with Eliot Zigmund, Ron McClure, Jed Levy, Allison Miller, T-Bone Wolk, Dave Shapiro, and others. He has recorded with the Steve Sonntag Quintet, Grammy-nominated singer-songwriter Lisa McCormick, drummer James Wormworth, and bassist Tony Garnier (known for his work with Lucinda Williams, Asleep At The Wheel, and as musical director and bassist for Bob Dylan). Draa is also featured on Ed Eastridge’s recording “The House With Four Chimneys,” performing the music of classical composer Erik Satie.

He is currently enjoying a decade-long collaboration with the celebrated guitarist John Stowell, and performs with many of the best players in New England.

As an educator, Draa has taught at Marlboro College, Amherst College, the Putney School, the Vermont Jazz Center, and Plymouth State University, where he ran the guitar program and coached ensembles.

Heather Mae and Olivia Nied at Stage 33 Live

BELLOWS FALLS — Heather Mae is an acclaimed social justice singer-songwriter, fearlessly baring her soul in her music, creating an intimate space of shared vulnerability for her listeners. Her unbridled honesty, both on and off stage, has cultivated a devoted fanbase and garnered recognition including accolades like the winner of the Rocky Mountain Folks Fest Songwriter Showcase and Northeast Regional Folk Alliance Artist-Activist of the Year award.

Her luminescent 2019 release, Glimmer, drew parallels to vocal powerhouses Adele and Sara Bareilles. With storytelling depth reminiscent of Florence Welch, each song unveils a portrait of resilience and self-discovery.

Mae is poised to make an impact with two groundbreaking records slated for release in 2025. She embarked on a mission to address the stark gender disparity for music producers — a mere 4% representation by women. She rallied a dynamic collective of women and non-binary talents in Nashville, assembling luminaries like producer ZDAN and Lollies, alongside guest artists such as Grammy award-winning musician Allison Russell and the extraordinary duo Sistastrings. Two electrifying albums in two distinct genres were crafted, showcasing the unparalleled talent and versatility of women and non-binary music makers.

Olivia Nied’s poignant songs reflect her unique life experience living as a transgender, neurodivergent young person. Trained at Hampshire College, Goldsmiths University of London, Berklee College of Music, and the Vermont Jazz Center, Olivia is an innovative composer, arranger, and producer.

Her professional music career began at age thirteen when she was invited to perform at the Ukulele Festival of Great Britain. At age sixteen she performed in clubs in Paris, and later in cafes in Holland. She has since performed across the US as a solo artist and session player as well as with various groups and ensembles exploring rock, indie-pop, new-grass, and jazz.

When not recording or performing Olivia utilizes music in her work with autistic and neurodiverse young people.

Heather Mae and Olivia Nied will play a 6:00 PM concert at Stage 33 Live at 33 Bridge Street in Bellows Falls, Vermont, on October 19, 2025. Tickets are a discounted $15 in advance through stage33live.com, or $20 at the door as available. Advance tickets guarantee entry. Only 40 tickets will be sold.

12/6/25, Saturday: Michael Tarbox with Wojcicki (solo) (7:00 PM)

Anachronistic blues-roots-hillbilly backwater rocker Michael Tarbox brings his rough-hewn guitar and voice to Stage 33 Live in Bellows Falls, Vermont, for a 7:00 PM show on December 6, 2025.

Michael Tarbox and Wojcicki (solo) at Stage 33 Live

BELLOWS FALLS — Michael Tarbox writes songs anchored in rock ‘n’ roll, backwater blues, hillbilly music, and country — rough-hewn, immediate, and hard-won. The Chicago Reader calls his singing “ageless.” His gospel-tinged electric guitar playing, tough as Texas barbed wire, brings it all together. Tarbox’s songs have been used in the television shows Sons of Anarchy and Supernatural.

“My inspirations are musicians from a world that’s vanished. I let them guide me, but my goal is to create something new,” says Tarbox.

Tarbox began his career with The Tarbox Ramblers, a hard-hitting quartet that released well-received albums on Rounder and played countless shows throughout the U.S. and Canada. The group featured both Tarbox’s own songs and his unusual arrangements of old blues and string-band music. Robert Plant saw the band play and recruited them, on the spot, to open a string of concert dates. The Washington Post called The Tarbox Ramblers “a force of nature.”

“At the heart of Tarbox’s music is his guitar, as raw as it is charismatic. It creates an electricity that courses through every song.” — Twangville

“Homemade rock and roll with a dose of rattlesnake venom and gospel-drenched howling.” — All Things Considered

“Tarbox is the most evocative and distinctive blues-roots artist to come down the pike in ages.” — The Calgary Sun

At Michael’s request, Wojcicki will open. Wojcicki is the musical vehicle for Matt Sharff, a refugee of the late ’70s / early ’80s NYC punk scene, when he performed at storied venues like CBGB and Max’s Kansas City. His music betrays the influences of rock and roll, Americana, punk, and prog. He’s shared stages with Emmylou Harris, The Jayhawks, Bill Kirchen, Roky Erikson, NRBQ, Richard Lloyd, The Misfits, and Bernie Sanders among others, and has recorded and performed with Adam Yauch (Beastie Boys), T-Bone Wolk (Hall & Oates), Buddy Cage (New Riders of the Purple Sage), Jon Carroll (Starlight Vocal Band), and more.
