‘Forevergreen: A Vermont
Adventure in Music’ is underway
Vermont Dept. of Tourism & Marketing presents a new music series to keep visitors and
residents connected with live music and arts in the state.
The Vermont Dept. of Tourism & Marketing (VDTM) is proud to present a five-part virtual
concert series featuring local Vermont musicians, as well as regional and national acts
who have an affinity for the state. The series is called “Forevergreen: A Vermont Adventure
in Music” and launched on Saturday, Dec. 26, 2020. The first episode
featured Kat Wright, Twiddle, and Taj Mahal. Other
artists in upcoming episodes include Grace Potter,
Neko Case, The Avett Brothers, Susan Tedeschi &
Derek Trucks and many more.
All episodes will stream live on the Vermont
Tourism YouTube and Facebook channels at 7 p.m.
“We have all been missing the sense of community
and connection that live performances offer,
and Vermont has so many talented musicians that
either got their start here or who still call the state
home,” said VDTM Commissioner Heather Pelham.
“We wanted to find a way to support the arts
in Vermont and Forevergreen is one way we can
bring the music and spirit of Vermont to all those
who are missing it, wherever they may be. We hope
this concert series will keep people connected to
the state and provide some inspiration for better days ahead.”
Virtual
event
Higher Ground Presents is producing the series and each of the five episodes will feature
a performance from the stage at Higher Ground in South Burlington, a performance at a
Vermont ski resort, and a visit with national artists from across the country. Higher Ground
Presents has enlisted local performers, artists, and video production teams to bring these
concerts to life and deliver needed support to a first to close, last to open sector.
“Forevergreen provides a connection for viewers to explore, and support, some of the
incredible music that lives in Vermont. Vermont punches way above its weight class in
performing arts and these intimate performances showcase a wonderful range of this talent,”
said Higher Ground founder Alex Crothers.

NEY— Next Stage Arts Project invites
the community to a free, virtual New
Year’s Eve celebration on Dec. 31, 6 – 9

variety of local musicians, puppeteers,
poets, storytellers, business owners,
and visual artists.
Dinner will also be available
for takeout, cooked in
the Next Stage kitchen by
community members, with

The Putney Foodshelf.
“It’s cold, Covid is on
the rise, and everyone is
prepared for this to be a long,
lonely winter. Next Stage
wants to be so much more
than just a nice place to see a concert,”
said Keith Marks, executive director
at Next Stage. “We have a unique
opportunity to serve through bringing
us together. This New Year’s dinner
allows us to share a meal, connect with
our neighbors, and be entertained
by our friends. We wanted to ring in
2021 as a united community, even if it
means virtually.”
