PUTNEY, VT – Next Stage Arts Project and Twilight Music present a mesmerizing evening of storytelling and song with folk duos Sons of Town Hall and Alice Howe & Freebo on Friday, March 7 at 7:30 PM at Next Stage in Putney, VT.
✨ Sons of Town Hall ✨
Part folk concert, part theatrical performance, Sons of Town Hall is a transatlantic duo featuring American songwriter/author David Berkeley and British songwriter/producer Ben Parker. Performing under the mythical personas of Josiah Chester Jones and George Ulysses Brown, they spin spellbinding tales of adventure, longing, and heartbreak, interwoven with soaring harmonies and evocative melodies. Their shows transport audiences into a timeless, dreamlike world, where song and story blend seamlessly, drawing comparisons to Simon & Garfunkel, The Everly Brothers, and The Lumineers.
Their live performance serves as a companion to their radio-theater podcast, Madmen Cross The Water, a wildly imaginative and immersive listening experience. Every song, every tale is an invitation to set sail into a universe filled with whimsy, wanderlust, and poetic beauty.
