SUMMARY:Billy Wylder Comes to Bennington
DESCRIPTION:Vermont Arts Exchange (VAE) is happy to partner up with Little City Cider for a night of dancing and having fun with the lively\, Billy Wylder. Join us Saturday\, December 7th\, at Little City Cider at 139 Shields Drive\, Bennington\, VT.  Doors open at 6pm and show starts at 7pm. \nFrom the front-lines at Standing Rock to the archaic streets of Jerusalem\, the Sahel Desert to Carnegie Hall\, music has been the source of strength for Billy Wylder. The band features Avi Salloway (Bombino/Hey Mama/Avi & Celia) joined by an inspired cast of singular artists who have performed across six continents including concerts at Coachella\, Newport Folk Festival\, New Orleans Jazz Fest\, Montreal Jazz Fest\, Carnegie Hall\, and Lincoln Center. \nThis is the last show of the season for the band as they wind up their touring in 2024. The music weaves together American folk and rock with sensibilities from the Sahara Desert\, exploring new musical space akin to Devendra Banhart\, Beck\, and Tinariwen. The musical evolution of Billy Wylder is built on grooves informed by ancient African rhythms\, art-rock textures\, expansive guitars\, violins\, synths\, and drum machines. Salloway’s lyrics flow with inspiration from mythical songwriting hero Leonard Cohen\, while threading together more abstract imagery reminiscent of Thom Yorke. \nTheir latest album\, Trying to Get Free was recorded at Great North Sound Society (Parsonsfield\, ME)\, Alta Mira Sound (Alhambra\, CA) and Zumix (East Boston\, MA) and produced by Salloway and celebrated producer Sam Kassirer (Lake Street Dive\, Josh Ritter). The band is named after Salloway’s grandmother\, Wilma “Billie” Hotaling.” She was a prolific painter\, author\, musician\, and educator”\, states Avi. \nTickets are $10 for students and $15 general admission purchased in advance and are available at https://billywylder.com/shows. Tickets will be available at the door for $20. The show is sponsored in part by Hampton Inn. \nFor more info call VAE at 802-379-3763. \nhttps://billywylder.com/shows
