Next Stage Arts continues its 2024 Bandwagon Summer Series of concerts with a Folk/Roots/Americana music festival featuring The Clements Brothers, The Jacob Jolliff Band, and The Mammals on Sunday, October 6 at 2:00 pm at Cooper Softball Field at 41 Sand Hill Road in Putney, VT. Tickets are $22 in advance / $25 at the gate / kids under 12 free.

The Clements Brothers are George and Charles Clements, identical twins from New England. They’ve been playing and writing music together for as long as they can remember and their duo marks their first project together since playing in the internationally touring grass-roots band The Lonely Heartstring Band, with whom they put out two albums on Rounder Records.

The Mammals are folksingers Ruth Ungar, Mike Merenda, and a cohort of compelling collaborators who form a touring quintet on the fiddle, banjo, guitar, organ, bass, and drums. Over the past 20 years they have quietly composed a canon of original songs that effortlessly spans the horizons of Americana, from soulfully harmonized indie-folk ballads to zealous fiddle and banjo-driven foot stompers.

Cooper Field is located at 41 Sand Hill Road in Putney, VT. Tickets are $22 in advance / $25 at the gate / kids under 12 free. Advance tickets are available online at nextstagearts.org. Next Stage will provide a beer, wine, and cocktail cash bar, and Smokin’ Bowls will serve an ever changing variety of seasonal dishes using local produce, dairy, and meat. Bring lawn chairs or blankets for outdoor seating on the grass. For more information, visit nextstagearts.org or call 802-387-0102.
