Sled Wrenches and Bird Boombox at Stage 33 Live
BELLOWS FALLS — A matinee pair of under-the-radar bands at Stage 33 Live in Bellows Falls, Vermont: Sled Wrenches from up in northeast Vermont, and Bird Boombox also from up there but the other side of the state, on Sunday, May 18, 2025, at 3:00 PM. This 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. Some might call it Yacht Rock, but they call it Boogernose Eclectic — they’ve clearly got a fun comedic streak. There will be somewhere between six and nine of them squeezed onto the little stage. Their debut album “Hound Dog 5” is out, and they’re working on the followup.
Bird Boombox is an alt-rock trio self-described as “alternative angst”, but they’re not shoegazey and emo. Elsewhere in their assets the phrase “a vessel for the vibrations of the natural world and a catalyst for community connection” comes up, which isn’t as catchy but is more accurate.
This matinee show will be a voyage of discovery — a chance to get in on the ground floor with these emerging acts.
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. 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.
