Songwriter’s Circle: Pat Daddona, Kala Farnham, and Jan Sheehy, plus artist Felicity Haselton, and short sets by Ezra Holloway, Will Stahl, Kyla Rose, and Bill Brink

BELLOWS FALLS — Pat Daddona will host a songwriter’s circle with Kala Farnham and Jan Sheehy on September 19 at 3:00 at Stage 33 Live, 33 Bridge Street in Bellows Falls, Vermont. Artist Felicity Haselton will exhibit. Four 10-minute short slots with local performers Ezra Holloway, Will Stahl, Kyla Rose, and Bill Brink will precede the songwriter’s circle.

Pat Daddona’s songs aren’t afraid to both laugh and cry, finding glimmering shoots of happiness in unexpected places or working out why they don’t seem to be there. She’s bringing two friends to this performance to make it a songwriters’ circle… Kala Farnham is a multi-instrumentalist who draws from a classical and theatrical background to inspire through the power of musical storytelling that embraces the imperfect beauty of the human condition; and Jan Sheehy, half of the regional folk duo The Milkhouse Heaters, is a big-voiced former rocker from the Boston punk scene and one of the most compassionate people around.

Artist Felicity Haselton will exhibit her bold, optimistic, celebratory, colorful work starting at 2:00. She’ll also be on hand during the break and after the show, and will have prints available.

A $5+ donation at the door is suggested for Pat, Jan, and Kala. COVID-19 protocol in effect which may change without notice, see stage33live.com.

Hiroya Tsukamoto to perform in Bellows Falls

BELLOWS FALLS — Innovative guitarist and composer Hiroya Tsukamoto will bring his fusion of folk, jazz, and world music back to Stage 33 Live, 33 Bridge Street in Bellows Falls on September 26 for a special matinee performance.

Tsukamoto leads concerts internationally, including multiple appearances at the Blue Note in New York City and on Japanese National Television. In 2018, he won second place in the International Finger Style Guitar Championship.

Eclectic and immersive, Tsukamoto takes audiences on an earthy, organic odyssey. In addition to original compositions, his repertoire travels the world of traditional music. While his instrumental abilities are breathtaking, he also connects to audiences with his engaging personality.

Born and raised in Japan, Tsukamoto was awarded a scholarship to Berklee College of Music. In Boston, he formed the group Interoceanico with musicians from different continents, including Latin Grammy-winning Marta Gomez; that ensemble released three acclaimed records. Hiroya has also released four highly regarded solo albums.

In a front-page Arts feature about Stage 33 Live subsequent to his first appearance, Tsukamoto said, “I played at Stage 33 Live for the first time last December. That was the last concert of 2019 out of 100 shows I did last year, and that show made my year.”

“The fingerpicking is delicate, fluid, and beautifully detailed.” — Acoustic Guitar Magazine

“… chops, passion and warmth. Zealously recommended.” — Jazz Review

This is a special 2:00 matinee; there will be no opening act, so plan a timely arrival. Tickets are $15 in advance through stage33live.com, or $20 at the door. COVID-19 protocol in effect which may change without notice, see stage33live.com.

Prominent guitarist David Rogers to perform in Bellows Falls

David Rogers fuses classical, jazz, and world music into expressive, virtuosic performances. Deemed “a prominent guitarist” by the New York Times and praised by The Washington Post for his “astonishingly florid” improvisations, he has been called a “modern master of the classical guitar” by 20th Century Guitar. Classics Today commended his “first rate instrumental artistry,” and the Lute Society of America Quarterly called his technique “formidable.”

Featured in major musicians’ magazines including Fingerstyle Guitar in the United States and Akustic Gitarre in Germany, his performances have also been broadcast nationally on American National Public Radio and Munich-based Bayrische Rundfunk. He has given recitals and conducted master classes throughout North America, including performances and classes at the San Francisco Conservatory and Interlochen National Arts. He studied historical plucked strings at the Schola Cantorum Basiliensis in Basel, Switzerland.

This highly pedigreed musician will perform an intimate listening event at Stage 33 Live, 33 Bridge Street, in Bellows Falls, Vermont on Saturday, October 16 at 3:00. Advance tickets by his suggestion are just $10 through the stage33live.com website. Only 40 advance tickets will be sold, and advance sales will shut down at midnight the day before the show if it hasn’t sold out. Tickets will be $15 at the door, and there will be limited standing room. COVID-19 protocol in effect which may change without notice.

Josh Hall, a classically trained guitarist and music educator whose style owes as much to Barrios and Tarréga as Mustaine and Monk will open with original material in the spirit of Dylan, Cockburn, and Taylor – songs that engage the listener to feel and think deeply, to find the reverence in everyday life, and to question the stories that define so much of the modern world.

Ninja Monkey: loud funky blues and fun rootsy rock

BELLOWS FALLS — Ninja Monkey is the longstanding southern Vermont champ of original rootsy rock and funky blues, and local heroes Ezra Veitch, Josh Maiocco, Michael Lenox, Garth Tichy, and Handsome Johnny Janiszyn are bringing it back to Stage 33 Live.

Ninja Monkey has been blending quality musicianship and high-spirited fun in a balancing act of tight and loose for more than a decade. They almost called themselves Frikin’ Chicken and the Plastic Quesadilla Band — somehow it helps to know that.

This won’t be a listening room event. It will be a loud all-ages good-time Southern Vermont rock and roll for dancing and sometimes swaying show. The floor will be open, with edge seating. COVID-19 protocol in effect which may change without notice, see stage33live.com.

The performance will be recorded and filmed.

Suggested donation $5 for the band. October 23. Door at 6:30, start at 7. They’ll play until they’re done. There’s likely to be a sloppy after-party at PK’s Pub in Bellows Falls.

Dylan Patrick Ward and Nate Goyette are emerging singer-songwriters pinging radars with their writing chops. This 3:00 Halloween-afternoon show at Stage 33 Live, 33 Bridge Street in Bellows Falls VT, is a ground-floor opportunity to catch them on the rise. Suggested $5 donation at the door for Dylan and Nate; limited seating; recorded and filmed. COVID-19 protocol in effect which may change without notice.

Dylan Patrick Ward and Nate Goyette: singer-songwriters on the rise

BELLOWS FALLS — Dylan Patrick Ward is a singer-songwriter from Vermont’s dirty south. His highly specific portraits of loveable losers are as empathetic as they are darkly comical. Influenced by his upbringing in a small, working class town with its fair share of strange characters, Dylan presents life in all of its sad, ugly, hilarious, and hopeful glory.

Nate Goyette’s music doesn’t like to sit still for too long – sometimes raucous and bombastic, other time introspective and subdued, steeped in dead-end jobs, dead-end friends, and those moments you have to grow up (or at least know you’re supposed to).

This is a special 3:00 matinee, October 31 (Halloween) at Stage 33 Live, 33 Bridge Street in Bellows Falls VT. Suggested $5+ donation at the door for Dylan and Nate. COVID-19 protocol in effect which may change without notice, see stage33live.com.

Tom Pirozzoli: smooth, smart folk

BELLOWS FALLS — He was a 200-gigs-a-year guy for a long time, but these days Tom Pirozzoli is increasingly focused on his successful fine art career and has throttled down to about three dozen music shows annually. Stage 33 Live is lucky to be one of them.

His recordings have had national and international success, and several of them are in the Smithsonian Folkways Collection. His album “Travels” spent 13 weeks on the Top 40 AAA charts, and was the 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.

His experiences and encounters with people, cultures, and ideas while traveling Europe and South America, India and Southeast Asia, China and Tibet, continue to enrich and deepen his music, lyrical content, and art.

Sophisticated guitar work forms a rich backdrop for his warm tenor, delivering melodies and lyrics exploring the wide range of the human and global experience. His relaxed stage presence features endearing, funny, insightful patter.

Stage 33 Live is pleased to welcome back Tom Pirozzoli on Sunday, November 28 at 6:00 PM, 33 Bridge Street in Bellows Falls VT.

While this intimate show on the weekend after Thanksgiving could easily command a $20 ticket, with Tom’s blessing it’s just $5 (they will be $10 at the door). Advance tickets may be purchased online at stage33live.com

“Good sound, man!” – Taj Mahal

“You can’t write like he does without leaning into each line.” – Willy Porter

Rupert Wates: deeply Americana

BELLOWS FALLS — London-born, Oxford-educated Rupert Wates brings his thoroughly American acoustic folk with tinges of jazz, vaudeville, and cabaret back to Stage 33 Live in Bellows Falls, Vermont, on Sunday, December 12 at 7:00 PM.

His highly developed songwriting features memorable melodies and intricate, spellbinding lyrics delivered with well-honed guitar and his smooth, expressive voice. He’s been said to embody the lyricism of Gordon Lightfoot and the attention to craft of Richard Thompson.

With eleven internationally acclaimed solo albums and dozens of songwriting awards, and his work covered by artists in the UK, Canada, and the US, including two tribute albums to his material, the doors to large venues and big festivals are open to him… but he prefers the intimate, up-close audiences of small listening rooms where the emphasis is on the music. He recognizes that it’s regular people – people like us – who make the world extraordinary, and that reflects in his sophisticated songwriting which brings his characters, real and imagined, to vivid life.

Local favorite Josh Maiocco opens. Local artist Felicity Haselton will exhibit and be on hand before, between, and after the performances with prints for sale.

Sunday, December 12, 7:00 PM, Stage 33 Live at 33 Bridge Street in Bellows Falls, Vermont. Advance tickets are $15 through stage33live.com; $20 at the door.

“A prime figure in American music.” — Folk And Acoustic Music Exchange

“As the former manager of the late Harry Chapin, I’ve heard my share of story songs. Rupert’s are right up there with the best.” — Bob Hinkle

“Gripping lyrics with great themes and troubling, witty messages.” — Leith Radio, Scotland

“Astonishing fingerpicking chops.” — Monterey County Weekly

The performances will be recorded and filmed. Seating is limited. No bar or kitchen; snacks by donation. Stage 33 Live is an industrial-rustic listening room in a former factory hosting local, regional, and national performers in an intimate setting at 33 Bridge Street in Bellows Falls, VT.
