Sage Hatfield:
Hailing from small town Vermont, Sage Hatfield is a multi-instrumentalist recording artist and solo-acoustic performing act whose love of song has landed him on stages from coast to coast, and at Berklee College of Music where he studied songwriting and composition. With a bent toward a very emotional and visual form of narrative, Hatfield’s songs are collections of, in his words “little vignettes, sort of mosaic-stories in sound”. Drawing influence everywhere from Bach to Beck, his music is deeply melodic, some arrangements coming across sparse and sincere, others ambitious and full.

With a bent toward a very emotional and visual form of narrative, Hatfield’s songs are collections of, in his words “little vignettes, sort of mosaic-stories in sound”. Drawing influence everywhere from Bach to Beck, his music is deeply melodic, some arrangements coming across sparse and sincere, others ambitious and full. Often observational and reflective lyrically, his songs are almost universally received and described by listeners as ‘nostalgic’. You can find Hatfield's latest record "Postcards From New England" on your streaming platform of choice.


Derek O’Kanos:
Derek O’Kanos [*pronounced*: *Oh-Kawn-Is*] is a musician at the heart of the New England music scene. A powerful vocalist and captivating performer; this solo artist is equally at home on-stage or in the studio.

O’Kanos’ music is best described as a mix of powerpop, folkrock, and alternative. This doesn’t come as much of a surprise as Derek draws influence from the work of: Nick Lowe, John Prine, Ben Harper, Hank Williams, Thin Lizzy, Marcy Playground, Ramones, and others. To his own credit, Derek has released 2 EP’s, *On the Sleeve* (2021) and *Spoken Roads* (2022). His songs are often upbeat, with lyrics that walk the line between optimism and sardonicism.

In 2023, O’Kanos contributed a new song to the compilation series, *Here’s Where My Friends Come In*. Currently, he is writing songs and performing regularly across the Northeast.


Alexis Pastuhov:
Alexis Pastuhov has been writing and performing original music for nearly 20 years. From Portland, ME to Denver, CO, to NYC, Pastuhov has shared his unique brand of indie-folk on stages large and small. Drawing on influences that range from Elliott Smith to Sam Cooke, Pastuhov has independently released 2 full length albums, 2 EPs, as well as a 2017 album release under the moniker Bad Galaxy. Currently residing in southern Vermont, Pastuhov's latest release titled 'New Mirror' is now available on all streaming platforms.


Jonah Siegel:
Jonah Siegel is a songwriter in a sphere of his own, stringing together creations ranging from folky ballads to radio-worthy pop-rock. A once member of Brattleboro Vermont's manic bedroom pop group 'Beated Rags', Siegel now writes solo and performs sparsely, at times collaborating with long time friends and musical colleagues Sage Hatfield and Oscar Newton. Jonah's brand of indie is at once recognizable, and unfamiliar, it's tangibly musical, thoughtful and emotionally aware. Exploring an alleyway off a side avenue just a few streets over from the Andy Shauf's and Alex G's of the world, it's music with discernible influence, yet deep roots of it's own. Jonah's record "So Kind!" is available platform wide.

Join us this Saturday to bid farewell to the Smithsonian Museum's "Crossroads" exhibit, which leaves next week for the next stop on its national tour.

“Crossroads” explores how rural American communities changed in the 20th century. From sea to shining sea, the vast majority of the United States landscape remains rural, with only 3.5% of the landmass considered urban. But since 1900, the percentage of Americans living in rural areas dropped from 60% to 17%. The exhibition looks at that remarkable societal change and how rural Americans responded.

One section of this comprehensive exhibit focuses on the today's crossroads for the people and environment of Vermont, which is told uniquely by artists whose voices are shaped by the past but looking forward the future. Several of the artists in the exhibit will be at the reception, to answer questions about their work.

Complimentary savory and sweet snacks, as well as a variety of beverages, will be available.
