Pete’s Posse Mini-Residency in Flagstaff
Flagstaff Friends of Traditional Music, Just Desserts Open Contra Dance Band, and Living Traditions Presents are hosting a weekend of events with Pete’s Posse, Vermont’s “Trad-Roots” Power Trio.

Pete’s Posse
Vermont’s own trad-roots power trio! Composed of acclaimed musician Pete Sutherland, his talented protégé Oliver Scanlon and the uber-dynamic Tristan Henderson, Pete’s Posse never fails to surprise and excite! Twin fiddles in tight, wild harmony over high-powered guitar and pounding foot percussion with mandolin, clawhammer banjo, jaw harp, rocking keyboards, and soaring vocal harmonies adding color to the Posse’s sonic landscape.
With a steady flow of powerful uplifting energy that spans their age gap, they tap into many traditions from the north to south, and east to west, to distill a distinct sound that is completely their own. The Boston Irish Reporter recently proclaimed the Posse puts forth a “kaleidoscope of sounds and styles with equal parts amiability and energy.”
