Heads up. This is headed toward standing-room-only, chair reservations are recommended.

We don't give the "Going / Interested" numbers on Facebook Events much regard because they almost never reflect reality. They're almost always low. At the time of this posting, this intimate listening event is showing "22 Going · 66 Interested"... If the typical trend follows, we'll run out of chairs. There's plenty of standing room, but only 40 chairs.Prepays double as chair reservations until we run out (AND gets you a vinyl copy of the new single off their new CD). Any chairs not reserved by prepays will be available first-come / first-served. If you don't reserve a chair with prepaid entry, and would like to bring your own seating, we'll allow that. The prepay thing is through Paypal and you can get there from http://stage33live.com/2019/06/the-end-of-america/Philadelphia-based acoustic folk-Americana trio The End of America plays a record-release show at Stage 33 Live in Bellows Falls, 33 Bridge Street, on Friday, June 21.

A Kerrville Folk Festival’s New Folk Songwriting competition finalist, he was also featured at Falcon Ridge Folk Festival’s Grassy Hill Emerging Artist Showcase, made waves at Ossipee Valley Music Festival and the Freshgrass Bluegrass Festival, and has been touring heavily. His debut EP, Sweet Apathy, was released to a sold-out show at Club Passim and received acclaim from Red Line Roots, which noted that Izzy has “a voice that is equal parts gruff, sandpapered scratches, unfiltered and open just enough to let the story out.” His new full-length, Only Yesterday, draws inspiration from the natural beauty of his native Western Massachusetts, his life experiences, and stories from his community.Prepaid entry doubles as a chair reservation until the chairs are all spoken for. Prepayment through stage33live.com will close the day before the show. Prepays may still be made after all the chairs have been reserved (it will be noted prominently on the website).

Any that aren’t reserved are first come, first served.Click this video, seriously:
