UNKEN BREW is a high-energy acoustic group that blends bluegrass, blues, and Americana with undeniable on-stage chemistry. Founded in 2024 by Bruce Thompson (guitar, dobro) and David Leiberman (guitar, harmonica), the band hit its full stride with the addition of Sam Katz (mandolin) and Arden Yonkers (upright bass). UNKEN BREW brings a lively energy to every performance and features songs from some of the world’s greatest songwriters as well as their own original tunes. They’ve independently performed with Greensky Bluegrass, the Hackensaw Boys, Shakey Graves, Andy Statman, and even one of the Marsalis’s. Whether it’s a haunting ballad, cooking train song or good ol’ stomping blues Unken Brew will get your feet wiggling.

Danny Lang is a local musician and longtime friend of the Pub.

When he was cutting his musical teeth, George's act was dubbed, “acoustic morsels” by a Burlington coffee shop owner. Since then, Nostrand's menu has grown to offer a musical stew, seasoned with tunes from various generations and genres, with a healthy helping of his own timeless original music. An entertainer and storyteller, he's at home on stages of all shapes and sizes. Before leaving his day job, he released three full-length studio albums, several singles and a number of live recordings. Since then, he's been playing over 100 shows a year and has started a new business called, A Sound Space. He's played across the state with his band George's Back Pocket and has performed and recorded with a number of local artists over the years.

Lou McNally calls Poultney his summer home, but plays and sings with his 12-string guitar across New England in the summer, Florida in the winter, and last year added Wilmington, North Carolina and Dublin, Ireland to the mix. He presents a varied selection, from old to new, country to folk, and covers to originals. He has shared the stage with many artists including Liv Taylor, Dave Van Ronk, and Jonathan Edwards. These days he can be seen with the local rock band The Survivors, and at fine local establishments like the Poultney Pub.

Billi spent time playing in the Midwest, plays keys with Gold Dust Gypsies out of Queensbury, NY, joins Lou with The Survivors, and has been seen in New York at Sid's Piano Bar, as well as several (OLD) York, England pubs in front of a mic or two. Her covers of everyone from Patsy Cline to Janis, Linda, Bonnie, and Shania, and Adele will make you think you’re listening to the real thing…

Breanna Elaine is a full time musician, singer/songwriter based out of Vermont. Breanna’s music is dripping with plenty of earthy folk, indie, singer/songwriter sounds, but the term “folk music” does not fully encapsulate the work of this blooming musician. Her debut album, “Seedlings" was released January 1st, 2023. She performs a mix of originals as well as a wide array of covers on both guitar and banjo. Breanna is recognized around Vermont and surrounding areas for her unique sound and songwriting talent. With over 100 original songs that have still yet to be recorded, this is just the beginning for Breanna Elaine, a true star on the rise. “Generally classified on music sites as folk/rock, as the evening went on, it was clear she transcends definition. She’s been compared to Jewel (though Breanna’s covers of Jewel are in many ways superior to the originals), Alanis Morissette, and Janis Ian. Tack on an early Fiona Apple song and it’s easy to understand just how diversely her talent runs.” -Susan Johnson of the Brandon reporter
