SUMMARY:First Friday - Main Street Music Series - The Jeff McCrae Quartet
DESCRIPTION:Four musicians take to the stage presenting old school jazz in a manner that exemplifies the musical synergy that takes places when artists get together. VAE Director Matthew Perry says “This energy that happens onstage is most times not rehearsed\, sometimes explosive and other times\, smooth as silk\, always moving…to be in the audience allows you to be one with the experience\, the creation.”  What makes this iteration of the Jeff McRae Quartet unique is the presence of three percussionists.  Darryl Kniffen on piano\, Jay Sager on the marimba\, and Jeff McRae on drums bring an uncanny rhythmic communication to their playing.  Add in local stalwart\, Dave Cuite on bass\, and what you get is an evening of risk taking and spontaneity in the context of familiar and not-so-familiar jazz tunes spanning the 1950s-1970s\, jazz’s most dynamic and fruitful era.  Jeff McRae states “The performance aims to pull back the covers of the finished and well-mannered concert experience to expose how live jazz is made. \nAll Tickets at the door only: $10 adults\, $5 students \nMasonic Hall\n504 Main Street\nAll tickets $10 at the door

SUMMARY:Special VAE Summer Concert - The Show Ponies with openers Hale Mountain Pickers
DESCRIPTION:Friday\, August 12\nMasonic Hall\, 504 Main Street\, Bennington\nDoors open at 7pm\nHale Mountain Pickers begin at 7:30\nShow Ponies on at 8:00\nAdults $15\, Students $10.  Available at the door only \nThe Indie-Folk band SHOW PONIES take the stage bringing you Old Time bluegrass with a twist. From California\, on an East Coast tour\,the Show Ponies weave story and song with the same charm\, pathos\, and boldness that brought them from Texas and Arkansas to California. Kim Ruehl\, of FolkAlley states\, “They pull together pieces of old time Appalachian folk with strong harmonies and rhythms to create a bouncy\, fervent energy that’s starting to make waves.”Lead vocalist\, banjo player and founding member Andi Carder grew up\, like so many iconic American voices over the generations\, singing in church. She performed in musical theater—musical heritage often\, which became apparent in performing what she\, likes to call “folk sassgrass.” David Maine from Pop Matters” quotes “ The Show Ponies are a West Coast-based bluegrass/old-timey band who\, at their best\, embody all the raw energy and enthusiasm inherent in the genre\, fortified with on-target lyrics and a refreshingly modern sensibility.”
