Roger Clark Miller is the founding guitarist of the highly influential rock band Mission of Burma, and has performed nationally and internationally as a solo artist and leading a variety of bands and ensembles. He’s also a respected writer, music historian, and more.
The songs on his new album, “The Green Man”, have a different feel from anything he’s done previously, evolving out of a series of “Unplugged from a Band” shows. This record has been a long time coming, and he'll be performing selections solo with just his guitar, voice, and a looper.
Michael Tarbox writes songs anchored in rock ‘n’ roll, backwater blues, hillbilly music, and country — rough-hewn, immediate, and hard-won. His songs have been used in the television shows Sons of Anarchy and Supernatural.
“My inspirations are musicians from a world that’s vanished. I let them guide me, but my goal is to create something new,” he says. Tarbox began his career with The Tarbox Ramblers, a hard-hitting quartet that released well-received albums on Rounder and played countless shows throughout the U.S. and Canada.
Roger Clark Miller celebrates his new album, “The Green Man”, in a 3:00 matinee concert on Sunday, October 11 at Stage 33 Live in Bellows Falls, Vermont. At Roger's request, Michael Tarbox shares the bill. Tickets are $20 in advance through stage33live.com, or at the door as available. Advance tickets guarantee entry. Only 40 tickets will be sold. Advance sales will close at midnight the day before the show, or when 40 tickets are sold. Ticket proceeds go entirely to the performers. The performances will be recorded and filmed.
Stage 33 Live is a casual and intimate industrial-rustic listening room in a former factory hosting local, regional, and national performances and presentations of original material. No bar or kitchen, the stage is the mission; coffee / soda / juice / water and weird snacks available by donation.

Stage 33 Live gratefully acknowledges the help of so many individuals without whom none of this would be able to happen, and institutional support this season from The Island Corporation, WOOL-FM, Guilford Sound, and the Rockingham Arts & Museum Project to help fund improvements and maintenance, and generally smooth out a lot of the rough edges. Stage 33 Live is a 501(c)3 nonprofit organization, and all donations are deductible to the fullest extent. Volunteers run the thing from stem to stern.
