Stage 33 Live series features Sam Creigh

BELLOWS FALLS — Local singer-songwriter Sam Creigh is the featured performer for the Nov. 15 edition of Stage 33 Live's series “Third Thursdays @ 33.”

He'll be performing original music from his albums Green Mountain Flyer and Wanted Man, and will be offering free signed copies of both CDs to interested audience members. No cover charge. There will be a tip jar for Creigh, and donations to help Stage 33 Live keep going are gratefully accepted.

Creigh grew up in the country. His family owned a cattle ranch in Nebraska and feed lots in Kansas and Arizona. According to a news release, his musical roots took hold in Tucson in the 1970s, where he played guitar and bass in country-rock and western-swing bands.

In 1976, he moved to Los Angeles, joined the Shire Brothers trio, and ran an eight-track demo and video studio on Hollywood Boulevard. Creigh and his wife, Vivian, moved to a small farm in rural Vermont in 1987 to raise their family, where he picked up his Martin and began a solo career.

He has honed his skills on the stages of festivals, taverns, ski lodges, and farmer's markets throughout Vermont, New Hampshire, and Minnesota.

Doors open at 5 p.m. for a social hour at 33 Bridge St. in Bellows Falls. A variety hour of short performances and presentations begins at 6 p.m., followed by Creigh at 7 p.m. More information at www.stage33live.com.
