CALENDAR LISTINGS FOR Sunday, February

BELLOWS FALLS The Rough & Tumble and High Tea: Award-winning "thriftstore-Americana" duo The Rough & Tumble headline. Mallory Graham and Scott Tyler are songwriters and storytellers who have the audience in stitches one minute and falling apart at the seams the next. A decade of relentless touring has earned them the right to trot out the haggard road-worn trope, but they defy that stereotype (and pretty much every other) with an upbeat, commanding stage presence, razor-sharp banter, heartstring lyrics. Indie-folk duo High Tea from Boston celebrate their new CD. Decatur Creek opens: Beth Eldridge, Doug Farrell, and Jack Henry are singers, songwriters, performers who write and play some of the most tasteful original music in the New Hampshire region, with sharp focus on songcraft and vocals. 3 p.m. Limited seating. Event will be recorded and filmed. Check CoVid protocols. $15 in advance, $20 at door. Stage 33 Live, 33 Bridge St. Information: 802-289-0148; Click for more info on Web in new window.
