FEATURED ARTISTS & 2021 SCHEDULE

JULY 20

• The Peter Greenfogel Jazz Group – Saxophonist Peter Greenfogel brings his long-time collaborators Chris Casey (piano), Stephen Porter (bass), and Deanna Casey (vocals) to the Gazebo for an hour of cool jazz on a warm summer night.
  

JULY 27

• The Revenants – The Revenants are a trio of well seasoned New England musicians who play original, contemporary and classic Americana music, showcasing compelling, intricately braided vocals, and richly textured instrumental work combined with innovative rhythm.

AUGUST 3

• Morrisville Military and Waterbury Community Combined Bands -The combined forces of these two bands come together annually to perform on our series.  Patriotic music, Broadway show tunes, marches bring the “town band” experience to Stowe. Both bands are now conducted by Nick Allen, a local instrumental instructor in a neighboring school system.

AUGUST 10

• Alice Howe – Vistas and the faces and emotions they summon unfurl with compelling grace on Visions, singer/songwriter Alice Howe’s anticipated debut album. A modern love letter to 60s and 70s folk and timeless blues, Visions pays homage without succumbing to imitation, and offers an intimate snapshot of a young artist discovering her own power. Alice’s ties to Stowe go back to her childhood visiting her great-aunt, Miss Hankinson, who lived in a cabin with no heat or running water for years.  She bathed in a stream near the property.
• Freebo is a genuine folk, rock and blues icon who, after over 40 years of recording and touring with many of the great artists of our time (Bonnie Raitt 10 years, CSN, Maria Muldaur, John Mayall, Ringo Starr, Dr. John, Neil Young, & many more) is regarded as one of the most gifted singer-songwriters of today.
