BRANDON — The Christine Malcolm Band plays a Vermont blend of rich original country, folk and blues with a high note of rock. Catch them at Brandon Music on Saturday, Feb. 24.
Malcolm is a Northern Vermont songwriter transplanted from Southern Vermont. Her writing is influenced by artists like Lori McKenna, Chris Stapleton and Joni Mitchell. Her 2015 album, “Crickets, Coyotes and the Big Yellow Moon,” won the Times Argus Tammy Award for Best Country Recording of the Year. 
Malcolm is joined by Rudy Dauth, strings player extraordinaire, and Peter Riley, holding it down on bass. Dauth also plays with The Chad Hollister Band and Woedoggies; his mandolin style ranges from melodic, sweet riffs to ripping, tight leads. Riley is an accomplished, lifetime musician, who has played with a variety of Vermont bands. His bass playing lends groove, depth and musical intelligence.
Saturday’s concert begins at 7:30 p.m. Concert tickets are $20. A pre-concert dinner is available for an extra $25. Reservations are required for dinner and recommended for the show. Venue is BYOB. Call (802) 247-4295, email [email protected] or visit brandon-music.net for more info.
