Inside concert.\nLocation: Island Arts Center\, 1127 US Rt 2\, North Hero\, VT 05474.\nGrounds open at 5:30 for an optional picnic on the green\, subject to weather. Bring a chair or blanket if desired. \nTickets: FREE concert for all to enjoy. Sponsored by anonymous Vermont donors.

Tony Pietricola – clarinet\, Lisa Henry – sousaphone \, Chris Scribnau – cornet\, Rich Magnuson – drums\, Charlie MacFayden – piano\, and George Voland – valve trombone will get your feet tapping. \nVermont’s Dixie Six is a band well-loved by Island Arts’ audiences\, and the group is well-known in the greater Burlington music scene.

Though retaining a traditional Dixie feel\, the band’s updated rhythm section gives a new energy to New Orleans classics and mid-century standards. \n“Thanks to Island Arts for inviting us to play.

SUMMARY:Marsh Lights Concert
DESCRIPTION:Marsh Lights\nDate and Time: Sunday\, Aug. 24\, 2025; 4-5:30 PM. Grounds open at 3:30.\nOptional picnic on the green. Bring a chair or blanket if desired. If weather requires\, concert will move inside the barn.\nLocation: Island Arts Center\, 1127 US Rt 2\, North Hero\, VT 05474\nTickets: FREE concert for all to enjoy. Sponsored by anonymous Vermont donors. Registration requested and appreciated but not required. \nVermont musician Colby Crehan\, former vocalist and songwriter for the Bluegrass Gospel Project and Possum Haw\, reunites with her Possum Haw bandmates in the 5-piece acoustic project Marsh Lights. \nMarsh Lights plays acoustic folk-grass music. The program features songs composed by Crehan. “Colby Crehan is a powerful and magnificently talented musician.”–– Robert Resnik\, host\, All the Traditions\, Vermont Public Radio. \nMarsh Lights’ new songs explore bravery\, darkness\, spirituality\, and grace with lyrics that often employ metaphoric places and female heroes and perspectives. And Marsh Lights pulls from the old songbook of PossumHaw\, particularly the songs found on their last recording\, the live 2017 album Limberpine. The band also plays instrumentals written by banjoist Ryan Crehan and mandolinist Stephen Waud. Charley Eiseman’s warm vocals join Colby and Ryan’s for hauntingly sweet three-part harmonies. Charley plays lead acoustic guitar with nuanced blues and jazz inflections. Mitch Barron\, a long-time essential presence in the Vermont folk music scene\, brings his skilled upright bass playing to the stage\, along with deep\, rich vocal backup. \nVermont Vocalist of the Year\nVermont Song of the Year\n“The combination of talent\, passion\, and songwriting in the band is breathtaking.”\n– Mary-Nell Bockman\, Whallonsburg Grange \nBACK TO ALL EVENTS
