BELLOWS FALLS — Pirozzoli kept a 200-gigs-a-year schedule for decades, but these days, he performs only a couple dozen times annually as he focuses on his successful fine art career. Stage 33 Live, 33 Bridge Street, says they are fortunate to host him on Sunday, Dec. 11, at 6 p.m.
Tom Pirozzoli's recordings have had national and international success, and several are in the Smithsonian Folkways Collection. He's been on the (1)Top 40 AAA charts, and had featured releases at (2)Tower Records in Los Angeles and Nashville. He's worked with artists like (3)Greg Brown, Jesse Winchester, Doc Watson, and Willy Porter.
“Sophisticated guitar playing forms a rich backdrop for his warm tenor, with melodies and lyrics exploring a wide range of the human and global experience,” describes his website. Pirozzoli states his encounters with people, cultures, and ideas while traveling Europe, South America, India, Southeast Asia, China, and Tibet continue to enrich and deepen his music. “His relaxed stage presence features endearing, funny, insightful patter,” organizers say.
Singer-songwriter Corey Wrinn from Rockport, Massachusetts, will open in his first appearance at Stage 33 Live. A musician, painter, natural resource conservationist, and tall ship crew member, he has performed as a soloist and in groups throughout New England.
With Tom's blessing, this intimate show is just $7 in advance through stage33live.com. Tickets will be $10 at the door. Seating is limited. Performances are recorded and filmed. Masks are optional, but this may change without notice. Patrons are asked not to attend if they are experiencing any COVID-19 symptoms.
