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: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

SUMMARY:28th Annual North Bennington Halloween Parade
DESCRIPTION:It’s that time of the year and the pandemic isn’t stopping the 28th Annual North Bennington Halloween Parade. Changing up the format this year to a “Stay In Your Car” Parade on Halloween day\, Saturday October 31st with a 4pm start time. Prizes will be awarded to the best-dressed vehicles\, cars\, trucks\, trailers\, and motorcycles and passengers\, so start your planning now. \nImportant note!! The parade route will be new this year. Starting at 3:30 participating vehicles will meet at Bennington College’s back parking lot near Greenwall Auditorium/VAPA\, entering through the Harlan Road entrance where volunteers will direct you to the parade line up. The parade will start at 4pm at the College’s old stone gate at the top of Prospect Street\, proceeding down into the Village\, turning right at Lincoln square-fountain\, continuing up Main Street to end at the Train Depot.  Due to current restrictions\, there will be no bonfire or gathering after the parade.  Costume prizes will be announced on VAE’s Facebook page and website on Monday morning. Although staying in your car is the safest bet for those in the parade\, we ask that parade spectators practice social distancing and please wear masks. If not wearing a mask as part of your costume\, grab some Sharpies and decorate your cloth or disposable mask. The judges will be on the look out for the best decorated “Covid” mask. \nThis year we are asking parade participants to make a donation of $10 – $20 per vehicle. This will greatly help VAE put on this free\, annual event during a particularly tough year for organizations. Donations will be collected on the way out through the stone columns of the College’s gate as we meander our way down into the Village. \nThe Bennington Traditional Jazz Bandwill play live music from Lincoln Square\, which will also be home base for the parade judges. Free grilled hot dogs\, courtesy of Powers Market\, will be distributed by members of the Norshaft Lions Club. Pangaea will be open and featuring coffee from Angelica and The Roasted Bean Espresso Bar as well as new treats from their patisserie. Plan on dinner to go or eat outside at Marigolds Pizza\, Kevins or Pangaea for a great local dinner out!
