Circuits in the Woods
Join us in Brattleboro VT to celebrate electronic music in many forms at the now annual Circuits in the Woods!

Pan-Latin duo Sol y Canto and Vermont Americana trio Doozy Jane, sharing a stage. Exactly the sort of pairing this room exists to make happen.

Back in Keene after stints opening for Mavis Staples, Emily King, and Trombone Shorty. Gavin Key’s new group The Get Down starts the night.
TERRACES + Stephen Brodsky
TERRACES are moody instrumental heroes! Stephen Brodsky is a metal / hardcore legend who also plays acoustic sets sometimes! Perfect combo!

An open storytelling night about living and working in a rural place, running alongside the ninth annual Radically Rural summit. Take a turn on the stage or just come and listen.
Roger Clark Miller + Rick Maguire
Mission of Burma's Roger Miller & Pile's Rick Maguire??? Seems like something you should probably be at, right? Ok cool, see you there.
Meet the Artist: Craig Pleasants
Come out and meet this year’s Social Practice Artist Resident, Craig Pleasants!
Dr. Julian’s Yes Yes / Jorrit Dijkstra’s Blink
Julian Gerstin built Yes Yes so his compositions would get treated as starting points rather than finished works. Dijkstra’s Blink tunes its instruments microtonally against each other. If you follow New England jazz you already know why that is a strange and excellent bill.
Battle of the Bands
Eight bands in one night, with recording time at Loud Sun Studio on the line. Ticket money covers the prize and everything past that goes to Keene Mutual Aid.
Charlie Chronopoulos + Joanne the Band
Future country music legend Charlie Chronopoulos returns to Nova w/ the devastating Boston duo Joanne the Band!
