The story follows two World War II veterans who team up as a successful song-and-dance duo. They fall in with a sister act and travel to Vermont, only to discover their former commanding general is struggling to keep his inn afloat. To help him, they stage a festive show that brings the spirit of Christmas to life. Famous for its lavish Technicolor production, Irving Berlin’s memorable songs (including the title track “White Christmas”), and heartwarming story, the film has become a beloved holiday tradition.

The Ben Kogan Band jammy roots rock with jazz and bluegrass sensibilities. Known for heartfelt lyrics and high-energy shows, Ben and his band have been lighting up local stages with original tunes and rich harmonies that speak to Vermont’s spirit and storytelling tradition since 2015.
Ben Kogan graduated from the University of Miami for Jazz Bass. He briefly lived in Boston for 2 years where he performed with musicians that have become household names (Rubblebucket, Lake Street Dive, and David Wax Museum, Billy Wylder, Hey Mama) Following that he spent 12 years in NYC and Brooklyn, and recently moved to Woodstock, VT in 2021 with his wife and son.
While Kogan is a trained jazz bass player he has picked up acoustic guitar, piano, and songwriting along the way. In fact, he spent a year or so studying bluegrass guitar with bluegrass legend Michael Daves. Ben Kogan is also one of the co-organizers of Imagine Zero and Founder of Reusable Solutions. He currently lives in Barnard, VT.
The band is a collective of talented upper valley musicians. This show features Justin Park on Mandolin/Bass/Guitar/Vocals and Mark Burds Guitar/Bass/Vocals.
Filled with fun stories, jokes and adventures about life lessons, epic fails and some unusual triumphs. Ferentinos has been on Bravo tv, The Food Network, Comedy Central and WOR radio and tours throughout the east coast. The NY Times called her “Effervescent and captivating”. Come out for an evening of laughter.
Their band name comes from blending syllables of each player’s name (hirO, koJI, koZO). And their music is a blend of old and new Irish tunes, learned from years of study and travel to Ireland, the U.S., and Canada. They play expertly with a variety of moods, pacing, and use of musical space.
For their March 2025 East Coast tour they will collaborate with Boston duo Matt & Shannon Heaton. The Heatons are integral figures in Boston’s Irish traditional music scene, performing extensively, teaching, and welcoming players of all levels in sessions and other community events. With Shannon on flute and vocals, and Matt’s rhythmic, nuanced guitar and bouzouki playing, the duo is known for their engaging, dynamic stage presence. They have collaborated with members of O’Jizo for over a decade.

Cindy Pierce is known for her fearless personality and non-stop humor. Those characteristics converge in Glitchy Business, which chronicles Pierce’s unique take on life — navigating both the ordinary and the extraordinary — that shaped her path, including stories about growing up as the youngest of seven in an inn, navigating relationships, parenting mishaps, and the ongoing adventure of being human. At its heart, the show is about learning to be kinder to yourself, worry less about others’ opinions, and dive into life — glitches and all.
Cindy’s ability to poke fun at herself leaves the audience members feeling lighter and less alone. “I can’t help myself from generating or tripping into cringe-worthy situations,” she said. “Embarrassment doesn’t get its hold on me because the humor of the situation jumps into the front seat before the incident has fully unfolded. By the time I became a mom, it was clear that becoming an even-keeled, well-behaved adult was not an option. Shameless gusto is how I roll.”
Past audience members describe Glitchy Business as highly entertaining, honest, and relatable.
“I haven’t stopped thinking about Cindy’s show for over a week — the mark of unforgettable impact. It’s freeing, moving, and downright hilarious — every darn minute.” – Nini Meyer, Executive Director of Positive Tracks
From raging fiddle tunes, to saxophone solos and unrequited love songs, the music of The Faux Paws would be hard to pin down with standard genre descriptions. The trio’s contagious groove, and feel-good melting pot folk music has been honed over ten years of playing together, and is the sound of three close friends (two of which happen to be brothers), who feel a musical kinship that transcends any stylistic limitations. Now, after nearly a decade of music making, the bi-coastal trio are releasing their self-titled debut album “The Faux Paws”
Brothers Andrew and Noah Van Norstrand grew up playing contra dance music with their musician mother in the band Great Bear. Chris Miller grew up in Florida, and he was enamored with bluegrass, and studied jazz before going on to play with GRAMMY nominated Cajun-country band The Revelers. Since meeting in 2012, the trio have toured across North America several times, sometimes under the name The Faux Paws, sometimes as part of other larger ensembles. But due to their commitments to other bands and musical projects, the timing was never right to focus on making The Faux Paws a priority. Instead, they took their time learning about different styles of music from one another, and finding where their interests and skills could create unexpected and exciting new sounds. “I love super glossy pop music, and Chris is always pushing more of a jazz influence” says Noah.. “But we all have a strong background in dance music, so almost everything we do has rhythm and groove, and is based around hook and feel”.
It may have taken The Faux Paws ten years to make their debut album, but those years have clearly not gone to waste. Now, with an experimental but cohesive vision, the trio brings together seemingly unrelated musical elements into one joyful and distinctive collection, deeply rooted in the raw humanity of folk dance and music traditions.

PRESS:
“…a compelling blend of traditional music virtuosity and driving dancehall rhythms alongside progressive instrumentation and improvisation” – Kara Kundert, Bluegrass Pride
“There’s so much that’s straightforwardly eccentric about The Faux Paws on paper that the contrast between sounds and sensibilities relaxes into a logical whole. The three have carved out a unique character in a genre where distinguishing oneself is a surprisingly difficult task. Considerable musical talent…they’re undoubtedly good. Whatever first impression the trio makes on paper, they make a better one with this record.” – Andy Crump, No Depression
A truly unique ensemble with such style, flair and soul that it’ll make you do a double take. – Brian Carroll, Red Line Roots
“[The Faux Paws] play an interesting mix of bluegrass and folk music, with elements of jazz and other roots music styles thrown in…[‘Guacmaster’] launches as a tasty mandolin number before Miller’s sax leads the guys off in a different direction. An amusing and clever take on the fiddle tune tradition.” – Bluegrass Today
