BELLOWS FALLS — Brattleboro-based singer, songwriter, multi-instrumentalist, composer, and performing artist Bethanie Yeakle will play a rare solo show on March 26 at 7 p.m. at Stage 33 Live, 33 Bridge Street.
This will be an extended mixed acoustic and electric set; some alone, some with bassist/guitarist Matt Sharff siding, and some with Sharff plus drummer Garth Tichy. There will be no opener, so plan on a timely arrival.
Bethanie's powerful and ethereal performances have graced the Falcon Ridge Folk Festival, The Guthrie Center, Club Passim, and other notable venues. Yeakle has shared stages with Tune-Yards, Antje Duvekot, Anaïs Mitchell, Slaid Cleaves, My Morning Jacket, Bill Kirchen, and more.
As a session musician, band member, and sideperson, Bethanie has provided vocals, acoustic guitar, electric guitar, banjo, electric banjo, dobro, and lap steel to recordings and live performances spanning genres that include Americana, Bluegrass, Newgrass, Folk, Alt Country, Rock, and Experimental/Psychedelic/Noise. Fun fact: Yeakle was a featured extra in the Ang Lee movie Taking Woodstock.
Tickets are $10 in advance through stage33live.com or $15 at the door. Limited seating; the event will be recorded and filmed. More information about the nonprofit, all-volunteer project, and this and other upcoming events can be found on their website.
