SUMMARY:Jenna Nicholls
DESCRIPTION:In a tapestry of sound\, Jenna Nicholls weaves a spell: strumming her ukulele or playing the piano with the spirit of New Orleans or crooning a cowboy’s tale with the soul of the West. Her melodies\, like vintage vinyl spun anew\, carry the weight of memory and promise of tomorrow. With three albums under her belt\, her songs have found their way into the heart of cinema and the pulse of television. On the road she’s shared stages with legends like Ingrid Michaelson\, and Oscar winner Glen Hansard. From the storied stages of Carnegie Hall and the Beacon Theatre\, Jenna’s music echoes through the night\, a testament to the enduring power of song. \n“Her ability melodically to leave me wanting the next part of the story is mesmerizing. Jenna points out universal moments in our lives and even though they’re personal to her\, I don’t feel left out. The level of descriptive writing in her lyrics is astonishing.”\n– Melissa Ferrick \n“Her songs land like a freight ship into the harbor of hearts and ears… The air changes. Pure mastery.”\n– Glen Hansard \nDoors open at 6pm\, show starts at 7pm \nTickets: $25 in advance\, $30 at door if not sold out\, $15 students \nhttps://tickets.benningtontheater.org/event/jenna-nicholls-sxeiz0

Imagine a subsonic growl\, a bullfrog’s croak\, some electric barber’s clippers and a high-frequency whistle—all reverberating out of a single larynx at once.” \n— Washington Post \nBuy Tickets

SUMMARY:“Draw Yourself Sleeping”
DESCRIPTION:Bennington College Sculpture Show \n\n\nOpening; Sunday\, December 8th\, 1pm – 4pm \n\n\nThe public is invited to “Draw Yourself Sleeping”\, an exhibition of work by fourteen Sculpture Students from Bennington College at the North Bennington Train Depot Gallery. The show opens  for a one-time only viewing and reception on Sunday\, Dec 8th\, 1pm – 4pm. The North Bennington Train Depot is located at 5 Depot Street in North Bennington. All are welcome and refreshments will be served. \n\n\nIn Bennington College’s Sculpture Studio / advanced practice course\, taught by faculty member John Umphlett\, students propose and execute projects of their own design. On exhibit will be work by Charlie Bell\, Jasmine Bete-Mitchell\,  Tali Mars\, Hollis Churchill\, Vic Coronel\, Julia Duva\, Chris Golovina\, Mac Goulis\, Aliza Khan\, Ethan Laird\, Nico Migdal\, Nicholas Pertz Kelley\, HaL Price\, and Lulu Wiley \n\n\n“’Making face’  is so important and engaging for the students\, to feel the pressure and realize it’s just a conversation. “  Umphlett states\,“Each student has been developing their practice and critiquing each other\, discussing prior critiques\, how the work can be read and what observations to further consider. Their works have been presented primarily on campus everywhere from controlled dark installation spaces to dance studios and outside. The students have been using this class to expand their advanced practices here at Bennington\, incorporating transferable skills and concepts developed in and outside of the visual arts. They have been challenging themselves to focus on work that pokes at complicated themes while they continue to direct material shaping towards their personal ethos.  The opportunity to show their work beyond the institution creates real world challenges. The practical aspects of installing a show combined with the responsibility toward self to propose their ideas into a larger community is priceless. The experience will help prepare the students to find out how to engage and listen and the best part\,celebrate and claim the experience.” \n\n\nThe exhibit is supported in part by the Vermont Arts Exchange and the Village of North Bennington. \nVic Coronel; performance\, projection\, video and sculpture

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

SUMMARY:Soggy Po' Boys
DESCRIPTION:This concert is free and open to the public. \nAs part of the Basement Music Series\, Vermont Arts Exchange (VAE) is excited to present a night of brass-fueled\, swinging music of New Orleans with the Soggy Po Boys\, Friday\, May 3rdat 7pm at the Mount Anthony Union (MAU) High School Auditorium at 301 Park Street in Bennington. \n\n\nVAE puts on this concert to celebrate thirty years as a non-profit community arts organization\, committed to arts education and empowering youth through music. As part of this special concert\, VAE has partnered with the Soggy Po Boys to hold a day-long school residency with both Arlington Memorial High School and the MAU music departments during the day. Students will work alongside the seven talented musicians and break out into in sessions in percussion\, voice and instrumental ensembles. As part of the evening experience\, students will join the band on stage for a few songs and surprises for the audience. VAE Director Matthew Perry says\, “This part of the evening will be fun because it will not be rehearsed. The energy will be high and the students onstage will be learning a lot about improvisation and performing\, all in front of a live audience. Well\, ‘fun’ for us.”

SUMMARY:Session Americana
DESCRIPTION:Tickets:\nAdvance $20\, At-the-door $25 \n**Little City Cider Co.\, 139 Shields Drive\, Bennington\, Vermont** \nDoors open at 6pm. Show starts at 7pm. \nSession Americana is musicians’ musicians: a cast of top-shelf players\, singers\, and writers who tour internationally\, taking their own songs\, plus hundreds more from the American songbook\, on the road. Whether you catch Session Americana in a rock hall or on a festival stage\, you’ll be a part of the intimate\, raucous scene these players  built years ago at Toad\, the neighborhood bar where it all began in Cambridge\, Massachusetts. \n“It’s right there in the name for this ultra-gifted\, rotating collective of singers and multi-instrumentalists. And sprawl is a good word when it comes to the Boston-based group’s raucous live shows\, which were initially built around the community concept of traditional Irish seisiúns. The group\, whose members have played with a variety of acts including Patty Griffin\, Josh Ritter and the J. Geils Band\, expertly blends vintage American roots music styles — from country to jazz to rock — in a rowdy but deft fashion.” – Rolling Stone \n“Session Americana has developed into a traveling medicine show which eschews snake oil in favour of an ongoing grail quest for the perfect collaborative experience.” – Hot Press Ireland \nBuy Tickets
