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!

DESCRIPTION:Tickets; $20 in advance\, $25 at the door if not sold out \nDoors open at 6:30 for dinner for purchase.  Menu to follow.  Show starts at 8pm. \nPhiladelphia-based M’Balia is a singer who approaches jazz standards with a “fiercely individualistic style and a generous dollop of gospel grounding”\, and an “ace” songwriter with a caustic wit and piquant attitude born of lived experience. \nWhile M’Balia performs in jazz combos\, she also continues to perform as a solo singer-guitarist or as a duo with an additional guitarist or drummer. \nThom Loubet has played guitar with all sorts of crazy wonderful ensembles like Burnt Sugar\,  The Three Bean Stew Hip Hop Orchestra\, and Nu Afrika. In 2002\, along with 3 other musician friends\, they formed The Citizens\, an Avant-Rock band which has played the Basement Music Series twice before. He currently tours with the fantabulous Alice Smith and Tamar-Kali and recently was on the faculty at Bennington College. \nBuy Tickets

SUMMARY:Kat Edmonson
DESCRIPTION:Tickets:\nAdults; advance $22\, at-the-door $26. Students; $10 \nDoors open at 7pm. Show starts at 8pm. \nPossessing an airy\, light voice with a sly touch\, jazz vocalist Kat Edmonson brings both the songs and the sensibility of the Great American Songbook into the 21st century. A Texas native and Brooklyn transplant\, Edmonson forged her sound performing in small rooms and clubs before touring worldwide and performing with Lyle Lovett\, Chris Isaak\, Jaime Cullum and Gary Clark\, Jr. In less than a decade since\, Edmonson has emerged as one of the most distinctive performers in contemporaryAmerican music. As a child\, Edmonson latched on to old black-and-white movies while watching FredAstaire and Ginger Rogers fall in love through snappy\, song-and-dance numbers. She also spent hours combing through her mother’s record collection featuring soundtracks to old musicals\, jazz standards\, and big-band hits. Although she draws inspiration from classic Hollywood movies and a bygone time\, Edmonson does not reflect too heavily on the past\, often saying in interviews that she is grateful to be here today\, in this day and age. Her music that has that 1930’s\, ‘40s\, and ‘50s flair but her own songs are of modern love and life (and the occasional woe of technology with lyrics like\, “Are you tired of being assailed by barrages of emails\, and are pop-up ads destroying your morale?” \nHer first three albums all exude a twinkly throwback charm\, taking form in jazz-cabaret\, folksy indie\, and vintage pop. Her independently produced debut album “Take to the Sky”(2009) drew on America’s timeless Tin Pan Alley songwriters\, Gershwin\, and Cole Porter\, and ended up on the Top 20 of the Billboard jazz charts. A critic for the Boston Globe called her second album “Way Down Low”\, “one of the greatest vocal albums I’ve ever heard.” Her third\, “The Big Picture”\, took greater advantage of her songwriter abilities. A critic for NPR noted\, “She’s a savvy student of ‘60s film soundtracks\, jazz-pop stylists\, and Brill Building songcraft.” The Austin Chronicle wrote that her songs emerge “fresh and dewy…Edmonson’s voiceswells and dips and weaves with effortless precision\, arresting without belting.” \nHer latest album\, “Old Fashioned Gal”\, is rich in affection for the past but bracinglyalive in the present. In it\, Edmonson tells a story-a classic Hollywood “movie” that took shape in Edmonson’s imagination as she began to write. These songs have all the feeling and the craft\, even the entertaining bounce\, of the Great American Songbook\, from Irving Berlin to Joni Mitchell but they are unmistakably Kat Edmonson’s songs\, taking the full measure of her own voice. The inimitable voice in which she sings is a musical prism\, crystalline and precise\, refracting and transforming what shines through it. The voice in which she writes is clear\, intensly aware and to the point-an “old fashioned gal” in the here and now. \nTo hear and learn more about Kat Edmonson\, visit https://www.epsteinco.com/katedmonson/ \nBuy Tickets
