Entertainment in the Hanover NH/Norwich VT area!!!!
More Great Entertainment in the Upper Valley – Woodstock VT area @ Suicide Six!
Carol and I discovered another great music venue in the Upper Valley area last Saturday night, Suicide Six in Pomfret, Vt.. We saw both Dr. John and The Neville Brothers on a double bill show that lasted over 4 hours. The acoustics were great, sitting in that beautiful Vermont valley watching the artists was spectacular and each of the hundreds of folks there had a great view of the show. Dr. John was amazing, to see a man his age banging away on the piano, playing guitar and singing with all his soul was a treat to behold. The Neville Brothers were great as well; they played all the old favorites and a nice selection of songs from their new album. Both bands have new albums out that are focused on post Katrina New Orleans and the reality that the city has been forgotten by our government and is still suffering the effects of that devastating storm.
The show was put on by The Pentangle Council on the Arts. You should check out their website for upcoming shows, they have some more good stuff coming our way. The Woodstock Inn located in Woodstock VT and the Harpoon Brewery, which is located in Windsor, VT both sponsored the event and offered food and beer for sale. You could bring your own picnic, which I would probably do if I had time to plan next time I see a show there, but you can’t bring in any alcohol, so the presence of Harpoon was appreciated. The Point FM also sponsored and promoted the show, another website that should be on your favorites list if you enjoy getting out and seeing live music.
