Live Music Lineup:

Lowell Thompson (4:30–6:30 PM):
A Vermont treasure, Lowell Thompson brings his heartfelt blend of Americana and rock to the Mountain of Cheer. With a sound that recalls the soul of Tom Petty and the storytelling of Nick Lowe, Lowell’s music has captivated audiences for over two decades. Dubbed “Inspired Alt-Country” by Rolling Stone Magazine, his songs weave tales of life’s joys and sorrows with a timeless authenticity. With four acclaimed albums under his belt and a fifth on the way, Lowell’s passionate performances are not to be missed.

The Neon Ramblers (6:30–8:30 PM):
A project born from members of Vermont’s beloved band, The Grift, The Neon Ramblers put a bluegrass spin on classic rock and pop tunes, particularly from the ‘80s. This high-energy group features Clint Bierman on banjo and vocals, Jeff Vallone on bass and vocals, Peter Day on guitar and vocals, Matt Schrag on mandolin and vocals, Ben Lively on fiddle, and Josh Panda on percussion and vocals. Their genre-bending style and lively performances have made them a favorite across the local music scene. Expect a night of toe-tapping, sing-along-worthy hits with a unique twist!

Sip on $5 Fiddleheads, with a brewery rep on-site to celebrate the season plus swag give-a-ways throughout the evening!

Don’t miss out on delicious dining specials and S’mores kits will be available for purchase as well for the ultimate fireside treat.
