✨THIS FRIDAY! Railway Concerts Presents: Vance Gilbert

🗓️December 13, 2024
⌚Doors 7:00 | Show 7:30
🎟️ Tickets and info: https://studio9porches.com/performance/railway-concerts-presents-vance-gilbert/

“If Joni Mitchell and Richie Havens had a love child, with Rodney Dangerfield as the midwife, the results might be something close to the great Vance Gilbert”, says Richmond Magazine.

Vance’s new album, “The Mother Of Trouble”, features Grammy winner Lori McKenna on background vocals, Juno award recipient and Bonnie Raitt Grammy hit song co-writer Joey Landreth on guitars, and Americana-Roots master mandolinist Joe K. Walsh. With 4 bullies, 4 deaths (3 of them murders), 3 moms, 2 accidents, 2 Black people, 2 dogs, 1 dog ball, 1 gay kid, and 1 missed flight thanks to gas station sushi, this album benefits from the gifts of time and experience honing songwriting skills that put this most vital of acoustic storytellers at the top of the game.

🎼 Show Announcement 🎼

A Christmas Carol
📍 Studio 9 at Porches Inn
📅 December 14th (7pm) & December 15th (2pm)
🎟 Tix Available at the link in bio

This lively reader’s theatre production of Charles Dickens classic tale is presented by an ensemble of five actors, all of them volleying between multiple characters and giving new voice to the timeless story.
Originally adapted by artistic director Gary Meitrott for the Shakespeare on Main Street company, A Christmas Carol toured central and Southern Vermont until the companys retirement in 2017.

All text has been pulled directly from Charles Dickens original work, maintaining as much of his vibrant language, often lost in larger stage adaptations.

The addition of vibrant voices and movement from the select cast give this production it’s unique energy and life, while maintaining an intimate storyteller feel.

Our company this year features actors Matthew Trisic, Taylor Slonaker, Sara Elser, Elizabeth Royalty, and India Chudnow.

Teaching artist and company veteran Meg Kemble, is honoured and delighted to revive this very special piece for Berkshire county, both as part of their mentors legacy, and to continue to offer this story of community, generosity, and caring for one another, to this wonderful community.
