Here are some recommended musical sites.
Here are some links to some of the wonderful musicians I have played with in one capacity or another. More information about Vermont musicians can be found from Burlington VT's Big Heavy World Music Site.
This is Viveka Fox's traditional (with some original thrown in for good measure) American/Canadian/Celtic band.
We lost Rachel on February 20, 2005 after a battle with cancer. An amazing human being, she was always willing to help a fellow musician and left a great many devoted friends behind. She was the winner of a number of awards, including the Kerrville New Folk competition. Her CDs are available from her web site and a scholarship fund has been set up for her children. A
2000 New Folk Winner at the Kerrville Festival, she’s a superb singer. She
has three solo CDs available and is also a member of the popular "Bluegrass
Gospel Project."
Go out of your way to catch her if she ever comes remotely near your
town.
A major presence in Vermont's music, Michael is a composer, arranger, producer and generally interesting guy. He has worked in Jazz, Funk, Electric and Acoustic music. He also helps run Grain Bin Music, a combination recording studio and record label. He was a former member of Feast or Famine and Sundog. Formerly a member of "The Story," she has long been well known for her achingly beautiful voice. More recently she has earned herself a strong reputation for her songwriting.
For
a long time Pete has been regarded as one of Vermont’s most talented and
professional musicians. Renowned
for his fiddle playing and songwriting (as well as his production skills), he
shows off all his remarkable gifts on his own CDs
A
wonderful singer/songwriter with a unique pulsing rhythmic guitar style and a
rich dark voice. Her lyrics are
marked by unpredictable poetic turns. Her
fifth CD, Velvet Town, may be her best one yet (which is saying quite a
lot). All her recordings are very highly recommended.
