In this strange new era of social distancing and isolation, going out to see live music and comedy is , at least for the time being, no longer an option. So musicians and comedians are bringing the shows to us through a variety of online streaming platforms such as Zoom and Facebook Live.
For your listening and viewing pleasure, each week we're compiling as many livestream performances by Vermont artists as we can find. We'll do our best to update the below list as more and more livestreaming events are announced, so check back often. And we'll post a fresh batch of shows every Thursday. Just click the links to each show's event page for relevant details, including where to stream and donate.
Highlights this week include a set by Ripton singer-songwriter Sarah King, a virtual dance party propelled by DJ Craig Mitchell and a piano concert presented in conjunction with Montpelier's Kellogg-Hubbard Library's PoemCity initiative.
BTW, most of these shows are free, but the performers typically accept tips. So maybe donate some of what you would have spent on drinks at the bar, eh?
And if you are a Vermont artist performing livestreamed concerts who would like to be included in future editions of "Almost There," email us with details at
