Spruce Peak Unplugged: Pete Francis of Dispatch
February 14 @ 07:00pm

Spruce Peak Unplugged: Lily Seabird
February 20 @ 07:00pm
Since 2023, Vermont songwriter Lily Seabird‘s life has been in perpetual motion, spending nearly half of that time on the road performing her own music and as a touring bassist with Greg Freeman, Lutalo, and Liz Cooper. While she thrives in transit, back home she is anchored by “Trash Mountain,” a pink house surrounded by other artists and creatives situated on a decommissioned landfill site at the back of Burlington’s Old North End. Here, Seabird has found belonging, friendship, and inspiration. It’s a place that hosts artists, puts on shows, and has been passed along in her friend group for the better part of the decade. It’s a symbol of transition and stability: something always evolving and growing but never losing its soul. It’s only fitting that Seabird named her new album Trash Mountain, as it also contains its namesake’s qualities. Over nine delicate but sturdy tracks of intimate folk rock, she pares her songwriting down to its most resonant essentials. It’s an album of unwelcome exits and uncertain futures, but there’s resiliency and hope at its core. It is Seabird’s most confident and immediate effort to date. Where Seabird’s previous records — 2024’s Alas, and 2021’s Beside Myself — were written over the course of a year, Trash Mountain practically poured out of Seabird: three months of songwriting in spring 2024, followed by four days of tracking with Kevin Copeland (Hannah Frances, Lightning Bug, Allegra Krieger) in his Southern Vermont studio in the summer. The condensed timeline allowed her to be present and process how differently her life looks now compared to a few years ago. She’s coped with transforming relationships and grief, as well as music’s awkward shift from a no-pressure, casual thing to do with friends to a career. Though working in environmental politics and community organizing brought her to Vermont from Pennsylvania, her disillusionment with systemic change led her to become a full-time musician. It’s a transition that requires ...
Sons of Townhall
February 27 @ 07:00pm
Sons of Town Hall,the transatlantic folk duo of American songwriter/author David Berkeley and British songwriter/producer Ben Parker, is creating an entirely new performance genre. Part live concept album, part performance art, they conjure their timeless mythic universe under the aliases Josiah Chester Jones and George Ulysses Brown, 19th-century vagabonds who travel the world in a hand-built boat to escape troubled pasts and search for adventure and love. Designed as a live companion experience to their gorgeous radio-theater podcast Madmen Cross The Water, The Sons weave their wild and hilarious stories between their heartbreaking and rousing songs, taking audiences on a deeply imaginative trip every show. Madmen Cross the Water is comedy fiction at its best, immersive and transportive, a bit like Welcome to Nightvale crossed with Flight of the Conchords and Dolly Parton’s America. Complete with a lush original score and hosted by a fictitious superfan/band archivist, each monthly episode tells one of George and Josiah’s adventures from around the world and reveals a new song from their forthcoming album, Of Ghosts and Gods. The album will be released in full in 2025, with the first singles, “Wild Winds” and “How to Build a Boat,” out now along with episode 1. Each month will bring another song and another episode. The podcast is an incredible corollary to Sons of Town Hall’s live show, allowing the duo to develop their elaborate backstory in far more detail. Both the Sons of Town Hall concert and the podcast offer escapes from the everyday, temporary relief from the woes of the modern world. Listeners and concertgoers alike are left transfixed and transformed, in awe of Sons of Town Hall’s harmonies, and drunk on adventure and the tragic beauty of the human condition.
Spruce Peak Unplugged: Sister Sadie
February 28 @ 07:00pm
There was no master plan. No label strategy. Just a spontaneous jam at Nashville’s Station Inn between a few friends—seasoned players, all women, making a little noise. But something clicked. The room lit up, the crowd roared, and Sister Sadie was born. What started as an accidental band became a force. GRAMMY-nominated. IBMA-decorated. Opry-validated. But for all the accolades, they were often reduced to one line: an all-female bluegrass band. True—but never the point. Sister Sadie has always been about the music. The fire. The truth. Their new album, All Will Be Well, is that truth—loud, fearless, and free. You’ll hear echoes of bluegrass, but what rises is something bigger: country with claws, Americana with muscle, gospel grit and raw storytelling. From the haunting “Prodigal Daughter” to the swagger of “Do What You Want” and the aching beauty of “If I Don’t Have You,” these six women are not performing roles—they’re telling you who they are. This is Sister Sadie, evolved: bold, bonded, and braver than ever. They’re not asking for space. They’re taking it. And they’re just getting started.
