Local Music SHOW – The Milkhouse Heaters!!!

Come out and celebrate the LEAP YEAR! You know you wanna…

It was the show that didn’t want to happen! First, the host fell in, and apologetically left the band to fend for themselves. Then, one of the members of the band fell ill, and the whole thing unravelled. But we’ve re-scheduled these exceptional ex-Rockers from the Boston music scene. Mike and Jan Sheehy settled in Bellows Falls, VT, where the humble seeds of The Milkhouse Heaters were planted. Weaving tall tales and sad stories of the sometimes comical and tragic human condition, their music has been described as “Emmy Lou Harris/Gram Parsons meets Chrissie Hynde/Joey Ramone.

Featuring powerful dual vocals, driving guitar and thumping bass, harmonica, and the occasional kazoo, they describe their sound as “Indie Americana”. They’ve shared stages with Billy Bragg, Fred Eaglesmith, and The Black Crowes, and have been featured on compilation CD’s with G. Love and Jack Johnson, Burning Spear, and others.
