WHO’S PERFORMING?
Dwight + Nicole Band
Friday, June 5 from 5:30 to 7pm
Dwight Ritcher and Nicole Nelson don't fit cleanly into one genre. Their sound moves through blues, R&B, and soul, with roots rock, alternative, and Americana woven in. Live, two voices anchor everything, and the band is built around them.
Block Party: 5 Above + Redd & The Paper Flowers
Friday, July 3 from 3pm to 8pm
A woodwind ensemble from Vermont’s Own 40th Army Band, playing a full spectrum of chamber music tied to the theme “Heroes: A Musical Journey of Courage.” At 5:30, Redd & The Paper Flowers, an Appalachian folk-grass group from Knoxville, Tennessee will take the stage, featuring upright bass, cello, mandolin, guitar and stunning vocals. The celebration will be complemented by a festive bike parade!
Atom & the Orbits
Friday, August 7 from 5:30 to 7pm
Atom & the Orbits is led by Vermont musician Noah Hahn. After a decade of playing in two-step bands from Vermont to Louisiana, Hahn assembled the band as what he calls a "rocket ship" for a bigger sound. The result fuses groove-driven Americana, rock, and roots rhythms into something built for movement.
Block Party: Billy Wylder, DJ Serena Kim, & More Surprises
Friday, September 4 from 3 to 8pm
Billy Wylder is a Burlington, Vermont art-rock band led by singer-songwriter Avi Salloway. The band's sound pulls from American folk and rock, African rhythms, art-rock textures, violins, synths, and groove-heavy percussion. DJ Serena Kim is a Middlebury favorite. Co-owner of the Swift House Inn, she's been one of the most
in-demand DJs in town, with sets at Town Hall Theater, Crooked Ladle, and the Henry Sheldon Museum.
Aysanabee
Friday, October 2 from 5:30 to 7pm
A four-time Juno Award winner closes the series with haunting indie-folk and one of contemporary music's most distinctive voices.
Aysanabee is an Oji-Cree singer-songwriter from Canada whose music sits at the intersection of alternative, indie-folk, and rock. His live shows move from full-band energy to quiet, close-in moments.
