The Old Brick Coffeehouse
featuring
Garrett Brown, Busted Brix, and Pale Fire
The Brick Church Music Series concert on January 16 featured High School-age musicians in an event we called the
"Old Brick Coffehouse." Garrett Brown, a 14-year old CUV freshman from Hinesburg, opened the show. Garrett was this year's
First Night Burlington 2009 Rising Star Talent Search winner; a wonderful singer-songwriter who played both original music and covers of popular tunes.
Busted Brix, the driving 8-member indie/ska band from Vergennes, followed Garrett with their horn-driven 'riot of sound'. BB was the
Burlington Teenfest 2008 Battle of the Bands winner.
Pale Fire, the engaging indie/celtic crossover band from Williston/Colchester, closed the evening with a spectacular show of original and traditional tunes. Pale Fire was the First Night Burlington 2008 Rising Star Talent Search Winner.
The well-attended evening was a benefit to support the Williston Community Food Shelf and
Big Heavy World, Vermont's nonprofit resource supporting independent music. The evening was organized by CVU Seniors Dylan Hudson and Ryan Simmons, for both a part of their CVU Grad Challenge projects (Ryan with the Food Shelf, and Dylan for BHW).
The event was very generously supported by
The Rack Warehouse, and
The Luggage Warehouse, including Burton raffle prizes donated by the Luggage Warehouse. Michaela Wallace won the Burton backpack; Neil Boyden won the camo-themed Burton duffle. Ginger Isham also won a pair of "rest-of-the-season" tickets to the 3 remaining Brick Church Music Series concerts. All of the Brick Church Music Series concerts are generously supported by the
Williston Observer,
AdAstra Recording Studios, and the
Town of Williston.

The watermark you see on the photos online will not appear on prints.
Performers who would like access to the digital photos (e.g. for CD, press/promotional, or website art, etc.) may do so at no cost--please contact me about this. Likewise, the photos may be used on a courtesy basis for press coverage or promotion of the Brick Church Music Series; please contact me if you would like access for that purpose. In either case, all I ask is correct attribution ("David Yandell") for printed or published photos.
