Get ready for some twang with a twist! Honkytonk Queer Tones (Emmett Troxel, Kim Hoff, and Jess Martin) reimagine classic country hits through a queer and political lens—songs you’ll know, delivered with defiance, joy, and plenty of glitter. Country music may have a history of shutting folks out, but we’re cracking the door wide open and dancing right through it. Proudly waving the queer flag in a space that isn’t always welcoming, Honkytonk Queer Tones turn familiar tunes into bold anthems of love, resistance, and fun. Come stomp, sing, and holler along—yee-haw and queer joy guaranteed!

Twin brothers George (guitar) and Charles Clements (bass) return with their first joint project since The Lonely Heartstrings Band, blending roots, rock, bluegrass, jazz, and classical into a sound that’s both intimate and groovy. Opening the evening, Vermont folk duo The Early Risers—Ashley Storrow and Putnam Smith—deliver rich vocal harmonies and intricate arrangements on banjo, guitar, mandolin, piano, and more, joined by Sarah Carlisle (upright bass) and Lissa Schneckenburger (fiddle). A night of heartfelt songwriting, instrumental virtuosity, and warm New England charm.
