PUTNEY — Twilight Music and Next Stage Arts Project continue their beloved summer tradition with the 22nd Twilight on the Tavern Lawn concert series, presenting StompBoxTrio on Sunday, August 10 at 6:00 PM. The concert will take place on the Putney Tavern lawn in downtown Putney—bring a lawn chair or blanket for a relaxing evening of roots-infused rhythms under the open sky. In case of rain, the show will move indoors to Next Stage at 15 Kimball Hill.
The Twilight on the Tavern Lawn series has become a hallmark of summer in Windham County, offering a diverse lineup of bluegrass, Americana, world, swing, and pop music every other Sunday through August 24. Now in its 22nd year, the free concert series is supported by Next Stage Arts, the Town of Putney, Rod’s, and a host of local businesses and organizations. Food will be available on site, and while the concerts are free, donations are welcome to help sustain the series.
This week’s featured performers, StompBoxTrio, hail from Western Massachusetts and bring a powerful blend of 20th-century American blues, rock, and soul—with a healthy dose of 21st-century flair. Formed in 2017 for what was meant to be a one-off gig, the trio’s electric chemistry turned that single show into a lasting musical journey.
With Evelyn Harris (vocals, percussion), John Cabán (dobro, vocals, stompbox), and Paul Kochanski (bass, vocals, foot percussion), StompBoxTrio delivers a soulful, hip-shaking sound that pays homage to the roots of American music while keeping it fresh and full of energy. Their shared passion for blues and roots traditions is evident in every performance, making their shows an engaging and joyful experience for audiences of all ages.
So mark your calendars, grab your blankets, and don’t miss the chance to catch StompBoxTrio in an intimate, small-town summer setting—right in the heart of Putney.
