BELLOWS FALLS — Dan Weber and The Milkhouse Heaters will co-headline a show on Sunday, March 15, at 7 p.m., at Stage 33 Live, 33 Bridge St.
Weber won first place in the 2019 Woody Guthrie songwriting contest, and is a rare three-time finalist in Kerrville's “New Folk” competition. His songs have been described as “reminiscent of early John Prine” and “insightful and awfully funny,” according to a news release. His album What I'm Lookin' For rose to No. 2 on the folk charts, and he has toured extensively across the country.
According to the news release, Weber “didn't start playing publicly until he was 40, but immediately began winning over audiences with energetic performances and hilarious stories... he has been described as 'The Classic Mid-Life Overnight Sensation.”'
The Milkhouse Heaters were nominated for a Boston Music Award and have shared stages with The Black Crowes, Corey Glover, Fuel, Feeder, and Hum. Their songs are on compilations with G. Love and Special Sauce, Jack Johnson, Burning Spear, and The Mighty Mighty Bosstones. Their music has been licensed to television shows on ABC, VH1, MTV, ESPN, and ESPN 2.
They have closed for Billy Bragg and opened for Fred Eaglesmith. Two of their songs are featured on the Shoulder to the Plough CD, and they have performed at the Roots on the River Festival.
The performances will be recorded and filmed. Seating is limited to 40. At the performers' request, tickets are just $10 both in advance and at the door; advance tickets double as chair reservations. Tickets are available in advance online at www.stage33live.com.
