About the Music
Thus Love — Hailing from Brattleboro, Vermont, this queer post-punk powerhouse delivers cathartic, melodic, and joy-fueled rock that pulses with grit and euphoria. Their second album All Pleasure dropped in November 2024 to acclaim from NME, The Guardian, Rolling Stone, and more, and the band is known for spinning raw emotion into electrifying live energy.
Supporting them is The Emily Margaret Band, a soulful R&B-jazz fusion group fronted by teen dynamo Emily Margaret. Their intimate, cozy grooves and poetic storytelling have made them standouts across stages in the region. Just this summer, they graced the Twilight on the Tavern Lawn series and celebrated their EP release, bringing warmth and quiet power to every note.
