Since its formation in 2013 with a mission to resurrect the music of Old and In the Way, Beg, Steal or Borrow has appeared at festivals and venues throughout the northeastern United States and features an ever-growing repertoire of original music and classic covers.

Known for their vocal harmony and high-energy instrumental arrangements, 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.

Based in Vermont, the quintet released its celebrated debut album of original music, Old Mountain Time, in 2019. Join us Friday, May 10 for a special live performance in the Double E Lounge. Doors at 7 PM, music starts at 8 PM.

Decades in the making, the VT Bluegrass Pioneers is an idea whose time has come. Dan and Willy formed Banjo Dan & the Midnite Plowboys, a band that recorded prolifically and toured throughout the Northeast and abroad. The Plowboys ended a 40-year career in 2012, but the brothers continued together as the Sky Blue Boys. Danny, meanwhile, became one of Vermont’s best-known musicians, playing with the Throbulators and the Radio Rangers, among others. In 1998 he founded Vermont’s nationally award-winning honky tonk heroes, the Starline Rhythm Boys.

Then, in 2016, the inevitable happened. These three bluegrass stalwarts, who were among the first to play this music in Vermont, teamed up as the aptly named VT Bluegrass Pioneers. Soon they recruited former Plowboy Sam Blagden – an early Vermont banjo player, himself – to join them on bass and tenor harmonies, completing and solidifying the lineup.

SPHERE: THE FULL 360 - A multi-sensory immersive choral concert experience
Burlington, VT - Vermont Academy of Choral Music is proud to announce an innovative benefit concert, SPHERE: A FULL 360, set to transform audiences’ perceptions of choral music while supporting a vital cause. This groundbreaking event is not just a concert but a multi-dimensional journey through life’s profound themes, utilizing the concept of a sphere to explore unity, diversity, and the human experience in its entirety.

About the Concert:
SPHERE: A FULL 360 is more than a performance; it's an artistic and philosophical exploration. Inspired by the geometry of a sphere, where every point is equidistant from the center, this concert symbolizes how diverse life paths from various origins converge into a unified experience. The music selection mirrors this concept, touching upon the cycle of birth, living, and death, along with themes of tragedy, grief, and reconciliation, all converging towards a communal focal point of shared human emotion.

A Multi-sensory Experience:
Attendees can expect an immersive experience, combining choral music with visual elements, including innovative lighting and graphic designs. This integration aims to foster a space for innovation, creative expression, and personal reflection, making the audience an integral part of the performance.

Collaborative Effort:
The concert boasts collaborations with esteemed composers such as Paul Mealor, Henrik Dahlgren, Dale Trumbore, and Dr. Justin Rito, among others. The result is a unique program for an all-treble choir, interspersed with poetry and other excerpts, crafting a multidimensional cantata that embodies the concert’s spherical theme.

Tusk: The Ultimate Fleetwood Mac Tribute

Date: Aug 18, 2024
When: 7:00 PM to 10:00 PM
Where: The Old Stage at The Essex Experience
Category: Essex Experience Happenings
  1. GET TICKETS

Join us for Tusk: The Ultimate Fleetwood Mac Tribute at the Old Stage at The Essex Experience Green on Sunday, August 18.

This concert will be held outdoors. We are offering 400 tickets for an additional $10 each, which would guarantee you a seat inside our TREX Theater if we must move the concert inside in the event of inclement weather.

Tusk has been crisscrossing the country since 2008 as The Ultimate Fleetwood Mac Tribute. But of all the Fleetwood Mac tributes playing around the United States today, what exactly sets Tusk apart?

Is it more than five skilled professionals turned masters of their trade through decades of individual musical study, live performance, creative risk, and devotion to the art?

Is it more than their affection and respect for the Fleetwood Mac experience, an entity that continues to endure over 50 years of musical and cultural evolution?

Is it more than vocal similarities, common physical traits, or good costumes?

To be sure, one does not fare well in the tribute scene without displaying some or all of these characteristics. So, what qualities does Tusk possess that can’t be learned, bought, or created simply from a desire to have them?

Chemistry. Synergy. Intuition.

The relationship among the five founding members of Tusk has a rich history that goes back more than four decades. Two met while playing Little League baseball. Two others met in middle school band and marched in lockstep through high school. All five have been playing music with one another over the years in various configurations of original bands, jam bands, singer-songwriter circles, and alternative rock groups. Time, trust, and close friendship have cultivated an intimate familiarity with each other’s musical nuances, shaping each performance with such precision that even the slightest variation, virtually imperceptible to all but the five musicians sharing the stage, is met with a wink and a nod, and usually an inside joke. Tusk is more than a band; they are a family.

Experience the wonder of a Tusk show for yourself.

Jorma Kaukonen is a music legend and one of the finest singer-songwriters in his field. He continues to tour the world, bringing his unique styling to old blues tunes while presenting new songs of weight and dimension. His secret is in playing spontaneous and unfiltered music, with an individual expression of personality.
