Sheldon Museum: “The Birth and Rebirth of the Sheldon Museum” by David Stameshkin

Dressed as Henry Sheldon, historian Dr. David Stameshkin will bring the history of Henry Sheldon and his museum to life in this entertaining talk.

Henry Sheldon chartered one of the first community-based museums in the United States in 1882.  After he died in 1907, the Museum—and his dream of sharing his many treasures with the world—was suspended for three decades, until a small group of energetic and creative Middleburians brought it back to life and made Henry’s dream come true.

 Dr. David Stameshkin, the author of a two-volume history of Middlebury College, is writing a history of the Sheldon in connection with the celebration of Henry’s 200th birthday this year.

Setting down roots in Brattleboro, Vermont, the band has crafted a signature sound which they have shared with enthusiastic audiences throughout North America and the UK, garnering two #1 songs on international folk radio and two Independent Music Award wins. Low Lily is Liz Simmons, Lissa Schneckenburger and Flynn Cohen.

​”Deftly understated virtuosity, tight arrangements, freshness of sound and clarity of musical vision.”-Fatea”

​Low Lily brandishes their formidable individual Folk foundations within a collective sound that’s as smart with sense of pop phrasing and flair as it is roots-savvy.”-Roots Music Report

​Recorded 8/6/21.

Festival on the Green 2021: Beg, Steal or Borrow

[ezcol_1third]

[/ezcol_1third] [ezcol_2third_end]Since its formation in 2013 with a mission to resurrect the music of the iconic bluegrass band Old and In the Way, Beg, Steal or Borrow has appeared at numerous prominent festivals and venues throughout the northeastern United States and features a ever-growing repertoire of solid original music.  Known for its warm harmonies, virtuosic instrumentals, and tight musical interplay, Beg Steal or Borrow has won bluegrass festival band competitions at Podunk, Grey Fox, and Thomas Point Beach, hence being dubbed a “Triple Crown Bluegrass Band” by Bluegrass Today.  The quintet is based in Vermont and continues to perform on the heels of its celebrated debut album of original music, Old Mountain Time.  Beg Steal or Borrow is Roland Clark, Fran Forim, Jeremy Sicely, Luke Auriemmo and Geoff Goodhue.

“Beg, Steal or Borrow have managed to absorb their essential influences — Appalachian, folk and country sounds in particular — and refashion them in a way that’s so accessible and infectious that the music’s all but irresistible.”~ Lee Zimmerman  – Bluegrass Today~

​Recorded 8/5/21.
