Farmers Night concert honors Pete Sutherland

Pete Sutherland’s legacy will be honored at a Statehouse concert on April 3.

On Wednesday, April 3, at 7:30 p.m., Farmers Night at the Statehouse will honor Pete Sutherland, a leader of traditional and Americana music who touched and inspired many in Vermont and internationally through his compositions, playing, mentoring and teaching.

Friends, fans, students, collaborators, admirers and others will join to celebrate and pay tribute to him. Guest musicians will include Lee Blackwell, Jim Burns, Patti Casey, Grey Larsen and Cindy Kallet, Tom MacKenzie, Oliver Scanlon, Fiona and Emmett Stowell and David Zuckerman.

The Farmers Night Concert Series is a longstanding Statehouse tradition that goes back over 100 years to a time when lawmakers entertained themselves in the House chamber mid-week while away from home.
