Putney, VT – Next Stage Arts and Twilight Music continue their 2025 concert season with a double bill of heartfelt folk-pop and boundary-pushing acoustic traditions on Friday, May 30 at 7:30 pm at Next Stage Arts, 15 Kimball Hill in Putney. The evening features acclaimed Québec singer-songwriter Geneviève Racette, joined by genre-blending folk duo Hilary & G. Tickets are $22 in advance, $25 at the door, or $10 for a livestream, available at nextstagearts.org.
Geneviève Racette has been turning heads across Canada and beyond with her emotive songwriting and ethereal voice. Since her 2014 debut, she’s built a bilingual following in both French- and English-speaking communities, earning acclaim from Rolling Stone, CBC, Exclaim!, and the Americana Music Association. Her 2022 album Satellite—highlighted by a duet with City and Colour’s Dallas Green—explores love, reflection, and resilience with rare emotional depth. Racette’s music has earned her a Canadian Folk Music Award, performances at top festivals, and radio play across North America.
Opening the show is Hilary & G, a dynamic duo merging global folk traditions with fresh, original songwriting. G Rockwell, a recent New England Conservatory graduate, is a two-time FreshGrass competition winner (banjo 2022, guitar 2024) and a nationally recognized multi-instrumentalist. Hilary Menegaz Weitzner, a fiddler and singer studying at Berklee College of Music, brings a diverse palette of styles—from New England and Celtic roots to Old Time and Scandinavian music. Together, they craft a sound that’s rooted yet adventurous, drawing from the past while pushing into new territory.
Don’t miss this evening of world-class acoustic music in the heart of Putney. For tickets, livestream access, and more information, visit nextstagearts.org.
