MUSICAL PERFORMANCES
FOOTWORKS
Inspired by the high-energy Gaelic music of Cape Breton Island, 'Footworks' is a Vermont based instrumental band. With Jacob Brillhart on fiddle, Jon Brillhart on whistle and Tory Heft on guitar, 'Footworks' provide a rich and balanced sound that is bound to get your feet tapping and your hands clapping. |
Tommy Crawford
Tommy Crawford's original music weaves Americana and folk music of many traditions, from country to blues to rock n roll, with his distinctive lyricism, poetry, perspective, and musicality. Seven Days VT's Chris Farnsworth calls him an "engaging songwriter" and "talented multi-instrumentalist." His recent release Mountain Song was called "instantly accessible and brilliantly elemental at the same time" by Dave Franklin at The Big Takeover. Prior to moving to Vermont, Tommy co-founded indie folk band and theater collective The Lobbyists. He writes music for all ages and has a collection of new songs called Dirty Diapers -- inspired by his experiences as a dad. He lives in Wilder, VT with his family. |
JIM ROONEY
Jim Rooney is a folksinger and a leading member of the generation that came of age during the great folk music revival of the late 50s/early 60s for whom the moniker ‘folksinger’ encompassed not only performing but, like Alan Lomax, Mike Seeger, Paul Clayton, Dave Van Ronk, and others, also included folklore “scholarship” exploring related roots music. |
THE CHELSEA BARN QUILT TRAIL
The Chelsea Community Barn Quilt Project was started in 2017 by Carrie Caouette-De Lallo and her daughter Sarah Caouette. It was intended to be an inclusive celebration of community arts and pride leading up to the first annual Chelsea Arts on the Green Market & Festival, held in the summer of 2018.
To date, there are more than 130 Barn Quilts in the First Branch Valley, and other neighboring Vermont communities have started their own projects!
