The post Ring of Fire: The Music of Johnny Cash appeared first on Manchester Vermont.

At the intersection of traditional and contemporary music, Slow Pony is the accordion-centered, organ-adjacent musical collective led by Eli Dworkin. Whether channeling the trance of Balkan rhythms or the raw charge of punk and folk traditions, their music is innovative, powerful and authentically their own. Slow Pony revels in the continuous study of narrative music, those rhythms and melodies that haunt the subconscious— giving rise to songs that ask questions and create a new musical language for emotional, celebratory and shameless possibility.

For over two decades, Eli has redefined and broken the boundaries of Americana, Folk, DIY, Punk and Roots scenes, making a lasting impression and building community wherever he travels, spreading joy and defying genre in his feats as a multi-instrumentalist, vocalist, songwriter, storyteller, and performer. As a collective, Slow Pony showcases an ever-growing cast of accompanists whose musicianship astonishes as they navigate the intricate and concise, passionately composed-yet-improvised material.

Known for soulful eerie originals that draw on Balkan, blues, tango, klezmer, cumbia, jazz manouche, punk, rock, and Americana, Slow Pony endears its listeners through dark humor, collective awkwardness, chaotic delusions of grandeur, and hypnotic instrumental shredding.

Recently, Eli has caught the Hammond Organ bug, learning to repair, modify and design a wide range of instruments and amplifiers.His technical studies in electronic instrument repair have propelled Slow Pony into bold new directions, incorporating electronic music, keyboards, and experimental accordion effects. In 2025, Eli received the VT Arts Council Development Grant and Creation Grant to compose a new body of music for the Hammond Organ.
Slow Pony has shared stages with an eclectic array of world-class performers, touring and gigging regionally, nationally and internationally, and captivating audiences everywhere—from family-oriented festivals to burlesque events and freak shows; from crusty mosh pits to weddings and farmers markets. Slow Pony doesn’t belong to anywhere, yet is a welcome breath and disarming presence wherever they appear.
Slow Pony embodies an irrepressible drive to create, to connect, to resist, to revolt. Their music is a response to the millennia-long struggle for human survival and wellbeing against immeasurable forces of oppression and exploitation. Through a potent, ever-evolving ritual of study and sound, the collective channels that struggle—and night after night, they, somehow always, emerge triumphant.

This event is presented as part of the Yiddish Book Center’s Public Libraries Program, a partnership with the American Library Association. Made possible by the Lilly Endowment, Inc. Funding from this program allows the Manchester Community Library to host reading groups and related programming to explore how Yiddish literature can provide a springboard for powerful conversations about religion, assimilation, identity, and immigration.

Southern Vermont Musikgarten instructor Evan Leontis offers caregivers the opportunity to play with their babies and young children in a musical setting, engaging in music and movement activities designed to delight the child and awaken his or her curiosity about music. By singing, dancing, bouncing, rocking, and playing instruments, the child’s musical aptitude is being carefully nurtured, laying the foundation for beat awareness, vocal production, and aural discrimination. All children are born with an aptitude for music, but research shows that their aptitude diminishes if it is not nurtured. The best way to nurture a child’s musical aptitude is through active music-making. By singing and dancing for and with our children in a variety of tonalities, meters, and styles, we help our children reach their full musical potential.

This summer’s Musikgarten theme is “Playing Outdoors”.

Note: Class will not be held on Monday, July 6.

Mountain Friends and Freedom is Stratton Mountain’s annual evening celebration for the Fourth of July Weekend happening on Saturday. There is fun for the whole family with live music and activities. Kids and families can play on the outdoor climbing wall, enjoy face painting, snow cones, popcorn and candy or join in on everyone’s favorite Fourth of July hot dog eating and pie eating contests.

The outdoor stage is set for live music by The Boss Project, a Bruce Springsteen tribute band 6PM, with doors opening at 5:30PM. Covering decades of Springsteen’s beloved catalogue, The Boss Project has done the (nearly) impossible, not by merely replicating what’s no less than an immortal show, but by presenting audiences with a taste of the up-close and personal magic that only a small percentage of the E. Street Band’s millions upon millions of fans will ever have the privilege to see in concert.

Stick around after the show as we send our July celebration high into the sky with fireworks at 9PM. Fireworks are free for all to view, doors will open at 8:45pm to the general public who do not have a concert ticket.

Mountain Friends and Freedom Concert Tickets should be purchased online. Doors 5:30PM, Music 6PM. Ticket prices are below. Kids 3 & Under are free but must be seen at ticket window to receive their free ticket. The concert is rain or shine.
