Tom Pirozzoli is in the Smithsonian Folkways Collection. He's been on the Top 40 AAA charts. Had a featured release at Tower Records. Worked with folks like Greg Brown, Jesse Winchester, Doc Watson, Willy Porter. Hardly ever plays out anymore because he has second successful a career as a fine artist - but he's going to play the 40-seat Stage 33 Live listening room in Bellows Falls for a special low seven-dollar ticket ($10 at the door). Corey Wrinn from Rockport MA will open. Tickets, and more information about this and other events, online at https://stage33live.com/

Sophisticated guitar playing forms a rich backdrop for Pirozzoli's warm voice, with melodies and lyrics exploring a wide range of the human and global experience. His encounters with people, cultures, and ideas while traveling Europe, South America, India, Southeast Asia, China, and Tibet continue to enrich and deepen his music. His relaxed stage presence features endearing, funny, insightful patter.

He kept a 200-gigs-a-year schedule for decades, but these days only performs a couple dozen times annually as he focuses on his successful fine art career. Stage 33 Live is fortunate to host him.

Singer-songwriter Corey Wrinn from Rockport, MA, will open in his first appearance at Stage 33 Live. A musician, painter, natural resource conservationist, and tall ship crew member, he has performed as a soloist and in groups throughout New England.

With Tom's blessing, this intimate show is just $7 in advance through https://stage33live.com/. Tickets will be $10 at the door. Seating is limited. Performances are recorded and filmed.
