Eric’s time performing in Southern California began years ago in local clubs and venues. With the lyrical bite of an Elvis Costello\, the dynamic voice of a Van Morrison\, and the passion of a Bruce Springsteen\, his prowess eventually led to performances around the world. \nAs the main songwriter for indie folk band Common Rotation\, Kufs has released six full-length albums and recorded with the likes of They Might be Giants and Indigo Girls as well as his own songwriting hero and mentor\, renowned singer/songwriter Dan Bern. \nIn his most recent solo EPs and albums\, he has traded in the ironic folk element of past work for a more sincere\, soulful 70s pop sound. His current creative work continues to be placed in TV and film. Armed with his guitar and voice\, Kufs continues to reach new audiences both with his recordings and his regular performances on his Friday night livestream show\, “Until the End of Time” and out in music venues across the country.

SUMMARY:Concerts in the Courtyard: Peter Mulvey
DESCRIPTION:CONCERTS IN THE COURTYARD\nWe are pleased to announce that Bennington Museum has received an anonymous grant once more for 2025. Performances are free of charge. \nAll events take place from 5-7pm. The Museum will also be open until 7pm on these days (regular admission applies). \nPlease bring your own blankets or lawn chairs! \nSage Pizza will set up shop in front of the Museum’s gates serving delicious pie.

Kids of all ages will find a fun makerspace at the picnic tables where they can create art based on art and objects featured in the Museum. \nPeter Mulvey\nPeter Mulvey has been a songwriter\, road-dog\, raconteur and almost-poet since before he can remember. Raised working-class Catholic on the Northwest side of Milwaukee\, he took a semester in Ireland\, and immediately began cutting classes to busk on Grafton Street in Dublin and hitchhike through the country\, finding whatever gigs he could. Back stateside\, he spent a couple years gigging in the Midwest before lighting out for Boston\, where he returned to busking (this time in the subway) and coffeehouses. Small shows led to larger shows\, which eventually led to regional and then national and international touring. The wheels have not stopped since. \nNineteen records\, an illustrated book\, thousands of live performances\, a TEDx talk\, a decades-long association with the National Youth Science Camp\, opening for luminaries such as Ani DiFranco\, Emmylou Harris\, and Chuck Prophet\, appearances on NPR\, an annual autumn tour by bicycle\, emceeing festivals\, hosting his own boutique festival (the Lamplighter Sessions\, in Boston and Wisconsin)… Mulvey never stops. He has built his life’s work on collaboration and an instinct for the eclectic and the vital. He folds everything he encounters into his work: poetry\, social justice\, scientific literacy\, & a deeply abiding humanism are all on plain display in his art. \nIn late January 2019\, Mulvey and his band\, SistaStrings (Chauntee & Monique Ross) with Nathan Kilen on drums\, decamped to their home turf\, the Cafe Carpe\, in Fort Atkinson\, WI where they spent just five days making two records in the tiny back room. The live record\, “Peter Mulvey with SistaStrings Live at the Cafe Carpe” is out now on Righteous Babe Records. It’s a celebration of a world that is temporarily on hold: a small folk club\, packed with listeners\, and a band shoulder-to-shoulder\, playing and singing with intimacy and abandon.

SUMMARY:Concerts in the Courtyard: SIRSY
DESCRIPTION:CONCERTS IN THE COURTYARD\nWe are pleased to announce that Bennington Museum has received an anonymous grant once more for 2025. Performances are free of charge. \nAll events take place from 5-7pm. The Museum will stay open until 7pm on these days\, regular admission applies. \nPlease bring your own blankets or lawn chairs! \nSage Pizza will set up shop in front of the Museum’s gates serving delicious pie.

Kids of all ages will find a fun makerspace at the picnic tables where they can create art based on art and objects featured in the Museum. \nSIRSY\nSirsy plays Singer-Songwriter Rock-Pop/Folk-Rock with a charming intensity and lots of heart and soul. Their show is friendly with lots of stories from the road and nerdy jokes. \nB I O \nHailing from Upstate NY\, SIRSY plays sassy singer-songwriter pop-rock with a charming intensity and lots of heart and soul. Sirsy’s passionate and down to earth live shows have loads of entertaining stories and even some nerdy jokes. They can somehow make an audience sing along\, dance\, laugh\, and cry – all at the same show. They really know how to connect with the audience. \nPlaying more than 200 shows per year all over the US\, Sirsy is fronted by a charismatic\, soulful\, powerhouse of a lead vocalist. (Seriously\, wait until you hear Mel sing!) Mel is also the band’s drummer (and she’s been featured in Modern Drummer). She simultaneously plays bass on a keyboard with her drumstick. She also plays piano\, melodica\, and the occasional badass flute solo too. Mel’s bandmate\, husband\, co-writer\, & bestie is Rich Libutti. Rich masterfully plays a well-loved and road worn Rickenbacker through a pedal board full of vintage effects. He sounds like 3 guitarists all on his own at live shows. Rich also plays bass (and at live shows often does it on a pedal board with his feet). These 2 multi-instrumentalists manage to sound like a full band and somehow do it all with big smiles on their faces. Their clever smart songs have more hooks than a tackle box\, with lyrics that center around empowerment and resilience. Fans have supported the duo through the pandemic\, their 11 records\, and Mel’s 2 bouts with cancer. Every show is like a celebration for this couple and their fans. Come celebrate life with them! \nSirsy’s had songs on the hit tv show “Shameless”\, the NFL\, HBO\, MTV\, and PBS. Their latest single\, “Stupid Little Heart” (Jan 7\, 2025) debuted at #10 on the folk chart. They are regulars on NPR. They’ve warmed stages for Brandi Carlile\, Maroon 5\, Train\, Grace Potter\, Joan Jett\, Cheap Trick\, Collective Soul\, Blues Traveler\, Spindoctors\, Adam Ezra Group\, Pat McGee Band\, Lifehouse & many more. In 2024\, Sirsy was given the lauded ‘Thomas Edison Music Award’ for “rock/pop artist of the year” and “Record of the year” and in 2023 “solo/duo artist of the year”. Their last several records were produced by Grammy-Winner Paul Q Kolderie. The SXSW Music Blog says “Sirsy’s not just a 2 piece but a head scratching WOW!” And the Houston Music Blog says “Sirsy makes edgy feel-good music that’s fun to watch. You must see them live!” \n“SIRSY is your favorite band\, you just don’t know it yet.” – Rochester City Newspaper.

Sirsy’s been touring the US for the last 17 years– playing 200 shows per year nationally. The other half of the band is Mel’s hubby Rich – who sounds like 3 guitarists all on his own- on a vintage Rickenbacker guitar. (Rich also plays bass on a pedalboard with his feet while he’s playing guitar). So\, they sound like a high energy full band… but their show is also intimate with heartfelt stories about the songs … and nerdy jokes. They’ve been able to make folks dance\, laugh\, and cry – all in the same show! They really know how to connect with the audience. \nThey’ve had songs on the hit tv show “Shameless” and opened for Brandi Carlile\, Maroon 5\, Train\, Grace Potter\, Joan Jett\, Cheap Trick\, Collective Soul\, Blues Traveler\, Spindoctors\, & many more. Sirsy can also do a stripped-down acoustic show in a ‘listening room setting’ if that’s a better fit. They can also throw in enough covers to fill 3 hours of music as well. And they travel with PA/sound and lights. \nThanks for your time and consideration. Please see the videos below for a sample of what they do. \nVIDEOS: LIVE at Mile of Music Festival: https://youtu.be/wuBNTV7OJ3Q LIVE (Nina Simone Cover\, fan’s cell phone video): https://youtu.be/MxrqmlNJvac NPR LIVE SESSIONS: https://livesessions.npr.org/videos/sirsy-astronauts- ACOUSTIC LIVE: https://www.youtube.com/live/nabIBoFQyJc?si=6WyRNTU9mAXfF0Fc&t=211 CANNONBALL (as heard on tv’s Shameless): https://youtu.be/gx6RJZMelds LIKE A DRUM: https://youtu.be/yBoXYvUwRDg ASTRONAUTS: https://youtu.be/WglC18sUBX4 SWEET DREAMS: https://youtu.be/g5piB_2_vnA \n“Songs with more hooks than tackle box. Melanie has one of the most powerful and flexible voices you’ll ever hear”. – The Times Union\, NY \n“SIRSY is NOT simply a two piece\, they are a head scratching\, WOW! This is the complete package in a fun sized\, rock and roll\, smiling laughing\, have a good goddamn time with your friends\, band! The guitarist is flawless and just edgy enough to make you grin. The lead singer/drummer is stunning.” – SXSW Music Blog

I was a studio musician and entertainer in LA for 40 years. Became well-known as “Guitar Guy” while working with my partner Jeff Dunham. We played arenas and did several Comedy Central television specials together. I have 250\,000 Facebook fans. My wife has been a professional singer for 40 years as well. We retired here in 2020. Recently\, I came across bestoffshoresportsbooks.bet while browsing for ways to keep up with sports betting trends\, which has become a popular topic among our friends at the local music community meetups. The platform offers a surprising amount of insights into offshore sports betting\, and while it’s not directly tied to music\, it sparked some lively discussions about how entertainment and sports often intersect. These days\, we play at 421 every other Wednesday\, performing both acoustic and electric – classic pop/rock.
