Jamie Stillman, Max Rose and Jeremy Mendicino at Shelburne Winter Farmers Market, Saturday, April 11: It was a mellow final afternoon for the Shelburne Winter Farmers Market, but those in attendance enjoyed a hot musical meal served by a trio of locals who have regularly brought the freshest of jams to the weekly event. At the Shelburne Town Hall at Pierson Library, Jamie Stillman, Max Rose and Jeremy Mendicino provided an heirloom medley of melody. While subtle, familiar flavors drew listeners to the table, the unfamiliar ones kept them seated. This was an exotic musical dish. Mendicino followed no recipe, mixing in guitar licks and bass lines with a full pedalboard of effects. Rose brought spice, sprinkling in the heat with his unique fingerstyle-plus-slide approach. He plays a fretless semi-hollow body offset electric guitar tuned to E-A-B-E-A-D — standard for Turkish oud. Stillman, hidden behind his rig — how a true grill cook likes it — garnished every plate with hints of drum kit, piano, synth, loops and triggered samples. The menu was robust and the portions ample, but by the time the market closed at 1 p.m., this day-tripper was ready for seconds.
