Mark your calendars for Friday, January 17th, at 6 PM, and join us for the 4th annual Snowsports Auction! All proceeds will be donated to two amazing causes: Vermont Adaptive Ski & Sports and the Chill Foundation. These organizations are doing tremendous work in the community providing access to winter sports and recreation for all people. We’re auctioning off items from local businesses like Burton, Salomon, Thule, Ski Vermont, and many more. Bid on outdoor gear, gift cards, goodie bags, and more. Last year, we raised over $7,000 — help us smash that record! Bring your friends to the Four Quarters taproom, enjoy a glass of our custom event beer Chill Pilz, and raise funds to benefit local causes. We can’t wait to see you there!

TROY MILLETTE & THE FIRE BELOW

What’s in a song? A dash of creativity, a few fresh rhymes, and a full serving of heart are the recipe for success according to singer/songwriter Troy Millette, who alongside his band the Fire Below has gained recognition as one of the region’s most engaging live acts.

Since emerging on the local circuit in 2009, Millette’s emotive and relatable lyrics have made him a staple of dives, clubs, and festivals across the northeast United States and Quebec. In March 2022 he was invited to showcase his talents at the SXSW festival in Austin, Texas. That same year, the Fire Below received the title of Vermont’s “Best Folk Group” at the Seven Daysies Awards.

In addition to hundreds of headlining shows, appearances at festivals such as Grace Potter’s Grand Point North, and even a promotional run with Senator Bernie Sanders, Millette and company have shared bills with the likes of Counting Crows, LIVE, Bowling for Soup, Trey Anastasio (of Phish), Richard Marx, Rick Springfield, the Front Bottoms, Marcus King Band, American Authors, Josiah Johnson (of the Head and the Heart), Brett Dennen, Dawes, lovelytheband, the Ballroom Thieves, and many more!

The debut solo EP from Troy Millette entitled  “Living With A Ghost” is a five-song collection that Seven Days says is “sure to strike a chord with fans of storytelling Americana troubadours such as [Jason] Isbell and the radio-friendly stylings of Kip Moore.” The singles that followed, “I Miss You,” and “Stay (Please)” have received recognition as a “Monthly Best” from Seven Days Magazine and entertainment blog County Tracks.

Tom Higgenson of Plain White T’s likened the pandemic single “I Miss You” to “classic Tom Petty storytelling, with modern pop repetition.”

The group’s full-band debut, a cover of Taylor Swift’s “All Too Well” is available to stream now.
