This Wednesday, June 25, at 7 p.m., the community gathering space Under the Maple will host a special evening of music as Janie Meneely and Rob van Sante return to the stage for a Brattleboro House Concert. Known for their unique blend of sea shanties, historical tales, and modern folk narratives, the pair brings a dynamic energy that bridges past and present through song.
Their performance promises a rich tapestry of sound, weaving together traditional maritime melodies with fresh interpretations of today’s social themes. Audiences can expect haunting tales of oceanic loss, folklore spun from campfire legends, and anthems rooted in advocacy and fairness. The interactive nature of their show encourages listeners to join in, creating a shared musical experience that resonates long after the final note.
Attendees are asked to contribute a suggested donation of $15 to $25, with all proceeds supporting the artists directly. No admission is turned away due to cost constraints. To secure a spot, reservations are mandatory and can be made by emailing BrattleboroHouseConcerts@gmail.com.
As the evening unfolds, it becomes more than just a concert—it transforms into a celebration of storytelling, unity, and the enduring power of music to reflect both personal and collective journeys. This event stands as a reminder of how art can connect generations, inspire action, and foster a deeper sense of community through shared experiences.
