David’s Stories with NEK Author David Martin
6:00 PM





  Children's book author David Martin of Lyndon has just released a collection of five non-fiction stories for grown ups. In David's Stories he's written about real things that happened in Vermont, and one piece about his travels to Africa. David’s Stories features humor in the hills, mystery, and armchair travel.


“Unlike my picture books for young children, David’s Stories is a collection of true stories. Some are funny - like why would some people want to beat us after they stole our truck - and some - like my encounter with a fisher cat, are just magical and mysterious.”


Please come to the Athenaeum on Wednesday, March 12 at 6 pm for a reading along with an extra added something. Books will be for sale and there will be refreshments. This event is free, ADA accessible, and open to the public.

 Catamount Arts Bluegrass Night is back! Hosted by the acclaimed father-daughter duo Bob & Sarah Amos, who recently had a #1 album and #1 song on the national Folk charts, the concert series features the best bluegrass and acoustic music acts in New England, and is held in the Alexander Twilight Theater, on the Vermont State University – Lyndon campus. As always, admission will be free, but donations during the show will be encouraged and gratefully received.

 

On Saturday March 22 Bluegrass Night will feature an exciting young band from Connecticut. On the Trail is a modern acoustic band that explores everything from bluegrass to contemporary pop, from stunning instrumentals to beautiful traditional songs. The group was founded through their love of bluegrass and the band the Punch Brothers. They have already gained recognition and praise for their exploration and strong execution of the challenging music, as well as for their new original music. Most recently, On the Trail had the honor of winning the 2022 Thomas Point Beach Band Competition after participating in 2021’s Telefunken Battle of the Bands at the Podunk Bluegrass Festival. They also were selected as an Emerging Artist at Grey Fox Bluegrass Festival 2023. On The Trail features Austin Scelzo (fiddle and vocals), Tom Polizzi (mandolin and vocals), Charlie Widmer (guitar and vocals) and Matt Curley (upright bass and vocals). Their latest album “Where Do We Go From Here” is also available for streaming on all platforms.
