🎶 Vermont Artist Highlight: Tenderbellies 🎶

High-energy bluegrass, heartfelt storytelling, and the unmistakable sound of Vermont’s acoustic soul.

At Maple City Music, we celebrate the artists who shape our community. Today we honor Tenderbellies—a powerhouse Americana/bluegrass band blending fast picking, rich harmonies, and genre-crossing creativity. Their music is joyful, rooted, and deeply human. This is the sound of mountain nights, campfires, wide-open fields… this is Vermont.

🎵 Where Tradition Meets Innovation

Tenderbellies live between classic bluegrass and modern Americana, weaving together:

• Crisp acoustic instrumentation

• Tight, soulful harmonies

• Roots-based storytelling

• Jam-inspired improvisation

• True Vermont spirit

Their music is energetic, emotional, and unifying—inviting you to dance, sway, or soak in the moment.

🎤 A Pillar of the Vermont Scene

From Burlington bars to New England festivals, Tenderbellies have built a loyal following. Their shows are lively, warm, and full of connection. Whether they’re ripping a barn-burner or settling into a harmony-rich ballad, they bring pure joy to every stage.

🌲 The Sound of Home

Tenderbellies embody the heart of the Green Mountains—rugged, warm, communal. They carry Vermont’s identity in every note, grounded in authenticity and lifted by extraordinary musicianship.

🌄 Why Maple City Music Honors Them

Because they represent everything we believe in:

• Music that makes you feel alive

• Tradition carried forward

• Community built through sound

• Vermont artists who lift the soul

As Maple City Music grows toward our 2026 brick-and-mortar home—a space for music, healing, therapy, and veteran community—bands like Tenderbellies remind us why this mission matters.

🎶 Thank you, Tenderbellies, for bringing harmony, heart, and pure Vermont energy to our music scene.
