SUMMARY:Mr Sun
DESCRIPTION:VAE is quite happy to announce that tickets are now on sale for Mr Sun\, as they perform a new interpretation of Duke Ellington’s legendary Nutcracker Suite. Mr Sun features Joe K. Walsh on mandolin\, Grant Gordy on guitar\, Aidan O’Donnell on bass and Darol Anger on fiddle. Mr Sun fiddle player\, Darol Anger\, states “Duke Ellington of course was volcanically creative. He was one of the most creative musicians ever. He was beyond category. Melody\, harmony\, and rhythm – if you can put those things together in a way that reaches people\, it’s gonna be successful in a way that means something.”\n\nThe Church\, located at 8 Bank Street in North Bennington\, Vermont\, is the former North Bennington Congregational Church\, now being transitioned into a community gathering and rental space. It will be the first concert in this new space and the last show of the VAE’s Basement Music Series 2026 season. Don’t miss these amazing musicians take on Ellington and the classic Nutcracker.\nClick HERE for a behind the scenes peek with MR SUN’s Nutcracker.\n\n\nDoors for this show open at 6pm.  Show starts at 7pm.\n\n\nTickets:\nGeneral Admission $25 in advance. $30 at the door.\nStudents $15 in advance. $20 at the door\n\n\nHERE for Advance Tickets
