Any show at Billsville House Concerts tends to be one of those shows that stays with you. This past Friday night, Jeffrey Martin and Anna Tivel descended upon the Manchester, VT destination and to say the evening lived up to the hype would be severely selling it short.

Mixtape | November 2025

November always sneaks up and slows things down. The light fades a little earlier, the days get colder, and suddenly you’re reaching for music that feels warm, comfortable, and a little reflective. This month’s playlist leans right into that. You’ll hear easy grooves from Toro y Moi,

Photos | Ye Vagabonds & I'm With Her @ Shubert Theatre

With a little delay, I deliever you photos from the magical night where the Celtic charm of Ye Vagabonds blended with the soulfulness of I'm With Her. I played around with slow shutter speed to visualize the country spirit of their music – just let it flow...

Mixtape | October 2025

October’s here, and the air’s turning sharp. This month’s mix leans into the long shadows, songs that flicker like porch lights on Halloween night, warm but a little haunted. You’ll find haunted harmonies, harvest moods, and a few eerie grooves to soundtrack the season’s slow

Photos | Mothé & Indigo De Souza @ Royale

It wasn’t just a regular concert. It felt like a conversation with good friends. The extravagant diva energy of Mothé combined with the kind, charming presence of Indigo De Souza made it feel like a get-together of homies. Here are the photos from our party! Photos: Katya Veber

This past Tuesday night, a tour that has been years in the making found its way to the legendary Club Passim in Cambridge... that evening in the underground listening room was the kind that reminds you why small venues—and live music in general—matter.

Mixtape | September 2025

September rolls in with that familiar shift; summer fading, days growing shorter, and a little more coolness in the air. It’s the in-between month, where the warmth of August lingers but the pull of fall is already here. This mixtape leans into that transition: songs that carry the last
