Upcoming Music in Vermont
with Jake and Joe
Hey whats up Northeast Kingdomers, this is Jake, and this is Joe. Were here to check you guys in for our monthly music in Vermont update.
At first glance the entire Northeast Kingdom might seem like its in hibernation during these cold winter months, but if you dig a little deeper, you’ll find yourself having the time of your life in the comforting and energetic warmth of Vermont’s music venues.
That’s right Joe, we have a lot to look forward to in the upcoming month’s musical calendar. Including bands like Mike Gordon’s Band, Conspirator, and the heavily followed Bob Weir and Ratdog tour. Who would have thought you could catch festival headliners like these in the casual back door music venues of Vermont.
02/18/14 Tue- Big Gigantic -Higher Ground (Ballroom)Burlington, VT
For starters tomorrow night at Higher Ground in South Burlington VT the group Big Gigantic is performing a show. This duet consists of a drummer and a saxophonist who also duels as a DJ. The group blends the style of electronic dance music with overtones of jazz that make them legendary for their unique enveloping sound. Tuesday nights in Lyndon can be dull, so if you have a free time, make the trip to go see the show in Burlington.
02/20/14 Thu -Railroad Earth- Higher Ground (Ballroom)Burlington, VT
Later this week, Thursday to be exact. The band Railroad Earth, which is a new grass sound, a progressive, jam band style of classic bluegrass music. Railroad Earth is known to have a strong following of fans who love the new-grass sound. This movement in music is similar to the sounds of String Cheese Incident or Yonder Mountain String band. If you have Thursday night free, definitely make the trip over to South Burlington, VT to check these guys string plucking out, you won’t be disappointed.
