The Silverbacks to Perform in Proctorsville
Cavendish, Vt., July 5, 2021
The Town of Cavendish and the Cavendish Community and Conservation Association invite everyone to spend an evening listening to the sounds of The Silverbacks at the Svec Memorial Green in Proctorsville on Wednesday, July 21 at 6:00 p.m. weather permitting.
At the root of nearly all classic rock songs is the Blues. The Silverbacks illustrate this foundational link with every song they play, from Albert King's Born Under a Bad Sign to Black Magic Woman. Based in Brandon, Vermont, the Silverbacks mix authentic blues and rock classics, managing to sound fresh and familiar at the same time. The band features Rob Zollman (drums), Sean Barrett (lead guitar and vocals), Scoitt Totten (harmonica), Peter Kennedy (bass, vocals) and Tom Van Sant (rhythm guitar and lead vocals.
Cavendish encourages all area residents and visitors to join their friends and neighbors in front of the gazebo on the green. Bring a blanket or a comfortable chair, have a picnic, or just lie back and relax on the grass. It's a fun way to enjoy the summer weather and either reconnect with old friends or make new ones. Murdock's Restaurant and Outer Limits Brewing will both be open for dining in or taking out, so please patronize the local establishments.
Wearing masks at the concert and physical distancing are only required for those who are not vaccinated. The Green is large and the band will be loud enough to be heard throughout, so please spread out and maintain distancing.
As always, the concerts are free and open to everyone. For more information, please call Robin at 226-7736. In the event of rain, postponement information will be reflected on the Cavendish Facebook page.

Yankee Chank to Play in Proctorsville on July 14th
Cavendish, Vt., June 28, 2021
The Town of Cavendish presents another in its continuing series of Wednesday evening concerts on July 14th at 6:00 p.m. when Yankee Chank will appear on the Svec Memorial Green in Proctorsville, weather permitting.
Yankee Chank is a Vermont group that performs traditional Cajun music from the heart of southwest Louisiana. The French-speaking people of eastern Canada, our immediate neighbor to the north, were the inspiration for the southern Cajuns and thereby inspired Yankee Chank. The band has been performing both Cajun and Zydeco music around Vermont and beyond, using fiddle, accordion, guitar and bass since 1996. The band's performances offer a distinctive immersion into this unique regional music.
This concert is coordinated by the Cavendish Community and Conservation Association on behalf of the Town of Cavendish. All concerts are free and open to the public. Bring a blanket or a chair and a picnic dinner. Join with friends or make new ones. Both Murdock's Restaurant and Outer Limits Brewing are open for dining and takeout. Please support your local businesses and please help continue this free Wednesday evening tradition in Cavendish. Everyone is welcome.
Wearing masks at the concert and physical distancing are only required for those who are not vaccinated. The Green is large and the band will be loud enough to be heard throughout, so please spread out and maintain distancing.
For more information, please call Robin at 226-7736. In case of rain, please check the Cavendish Facebook page for further information.
