Burlington loses another small venue.

The closure is part of a recent trend that includes Arts Riot and Nectar’s, leaving a hole in the Queen City’s music scene.

Michael Hahn started playing out during the Summer of Love, 1967, at the age of 14. Over the decades he's performed with acclaimed dance bands including Hornbeam, Don’t Call Betty, Hoochie Lombardo, Whetstone, and Ten Mile Shuffle Band. Having hit 70 years old, he still performs every couple weeks with either his trio or his five-piece band. He's bringing the trio for this show. Along with Michael, there's Sid Gulick on guitar and vocal, and John Pheiffer on cello.

James Graham got started in the "anti-folk" scene that sprang up in the East Village of NYC around 1990 as a response to the West Village folk scene that no longer seemed relevant in a world ravaged by the politics of Reagan and Thatcher, and seemingly given up on racial justice. In 2004 he moved to New Hampshire and resisted the pull of bluegrass and old-timey Americana, staying true to his rock, soul, reggae, and punk influences — music seeking to make sense out of the complicated human condition while creating sounds that move the spirit.

Michael Hahn Trio and James Graham split the bill in a 3:00 matinee on September 13, 2026. Tickets are a generously discounted $10 in advance through stage33live.com, or $15 at the door as available. Advance tickets guarantee entry. Only 40 tickets will be sold.

Breaking excitement courtesy Ray's the Roof Productions: At tomorrow's Stage 33 Live matinee, we'll be giving away a pair of tickets to An Evening with Suzy Bogguss happening on Saturday, September 19 at 7:30 at the Bellows Falls Opera House.

Suzy Bogguss. She was the first featured female performer at Silver Dollar City, later known as Dollywood. (RIP dear Dolly.) Not much later, six Top 10 hits, three gold albums, and a platinum. Over four million albums sold. She won Top New Female Vocalist from the Academy of Country Music, and Album of the Year awards from that outfit. The Horizon Award from the Country Music Association. A Grammy, then another one, then another one. She's also landed on the jazz charts, and wears her folk roots with pride... she was a frequent guest performer on A Prairie Home Companion. She was inducted into the Grand Ole Opry this past January. There's just piles of achievements and accolades.

We're not quite sure how we'll give this pair of tickets away, we'll figure it out. But you gotta be at tomorrow's pay-what-you-want show to win.
