EVAN JENNISON:
Born and raised in Vermont’s Green Mountains, Evan Jennison crafts songs that echo the landscape—rugged, soulful, and deeply rooted. Blending American folk, rock, bluegrass, jam, and country, his music is a stirring mix of heartfelt vocals, vivid lyrics, and his signature acoustic flatpicking guitar style. With a growing grassroots following in Vermont and beyond, Evan’s sound resonates through psychedelic and bluegrass communities across the country, inviting listeners into stories shaped by nature, nostalgia, and connection.

ERIN CASSELS-BROWN:
A tireless storyteller with calloused hands and a cosmic heart, Erin Cassels-Brown brings his signature blend of celestial country and roots rock to the stage with grit and grace. Hailing from Winooski, Vermont, he’s played over 500 shows across 18 states, drawing comparisons to Springsteen and Prine with his vivid lyricism and full-throttle delivery. His debut album Dreamin’ On Overdrive channels a life shaped by odd jobs, long drives, and the hard-earned poetry of everyday experience—packed with fist-pumping choruses, nostalgic heartache, and raw, road-tested soul. Whether you're under the stars or in a dusty barroom, Erin’s music hits home.

DANNY & THE PARTS:
Hailing from the heart of Burlington, Vermont, Danny & The Parts deliver a fresh take on classic Americana with a honky-tonk soul and psychedelic shimmer. Rooted in tradition but unafraid to push boundaries, the band blends sweeping vocal harmonies, twang-laced Telecaster riffs, and rich local talent to craft a sound that feels both timeless and totally new. From backroad ballads to barroom burners, their original tunes drift between dreamy and danceable—making each show a magnetic, must-hear experience.

Growing Medicinal Herbs
🌿 June 10th | Hands-On Workshop
Dig into the healing power of plants! This interactive workshop explores the basics of growing medicinal herbs—what to plant, how to care for them, and how they can support your well-being. Perfect for beginners or seasoned gardeners curious about herbal remedies.

ATOM & THE ORBITS:

Noah Hahn has spent the last decade playing in two-step bands from Vermont to Louisiana.  Atom & the Orbits is the rocket ship he has assembled to launch those danceable rhythms in the form of two-minute old-school power pop songs ala Chuck Berry.  Live, the Orbits blast off from the early rock & roll universe, expanding and exploring the outer reaches of what it means when they say “Let’s Rock!”

ADRIANA & THE BANANA’S:
Armed with an expressive alto and a theatrical voice compared to the emotional depths of Rufus Wainwright and Sarah McLachlan, Andriana Chobot brings a genre-blurring blend of pop, indie-folk, rock, and jazz to the stage. Her performances—whether intimate and solo on keys with soft drum grooves or amplified by a talented local band—immerse audiences in a rich, cinematic soundscape. With fluttering piano lines reminiscent of Imogen Heap and a magnetic stage presence, Chobot effortlessly weaves between ethereal ballads, vibrant originals, and uniquely reimagined covers, creating an experience that’s both soulful and unforgettable.

NATE & DAVID GUSAKOV:
A father-son duo rooted in Vermont’s musical legacy, David and Nathan Gusakov weave together threads of classical, bluegrass, and old-time traditions into something wholly their own. With David’s decades-long experience as a classically trained violinist and beloved fiddler—known from Pine Island, Banjo Dan and the Mid-Nite Plowboys, and the Vermont Symphony Orchestra—paired with Nathan’s soulful clawhammer banjo stylings, the two create a dynamic and intimate musical experience. Their collaborative sound bridges generations and genres, blending Appalachian rhythms with lyrical depth and melodic interplay that feels both timeless and freshly innovative.
