John and I would like to encourage any of our audience to attend this concert. Two of Sarah’s previous students (Fiona and Emmett) that were passed on to Pete Sutherland will be performing that night. Also, years ago Pete Sutherland invited John and Sarah, among others, to share the Farmer’s Night stage with him for which we were truly grateful. Sarah and John also performed at this venue two other times; once with the Vermont Fiddle Orchestra and once with their duo, High-Low-Jack. If you haven’t been to one of these concerts you should go. It’s truly a Vermont experience!

“The Farmers Night Concert Series is a longstanding State House tradition which goes back over 100 years to a time when lawmakers entertained themselves in the House Chamber mid-week while away from home.  Artists from around the state, in genres ranging from classical music to bluegrass to spoken word, perform in the well of the House Chamber each Wednesday night at 7:30 during the legislative session.”
