Since 2023, Vermont songwriter Lily Seabird‘s life has been in perpetual motion, spending nearly half of that time on the road performing her own music and as a touring bassist with Greg Freeman, Lutalo, and Liz Cooper. While she thrives in transit, back home she is anchored by “Trash Mountain,” a pink house surrounded by other artists and creatives situated on a decommissioned landfill site at the back of Burlington’s Old North End. Here, Seabird has found belonging, friendship, and inspiration. It’s a place that hosts artists, puts on shows, and has been passed along in her friend group for the better part of the decade. It’s a symbol of transition and stability: something always evolving and growing but never losing its soul. It’s only fitting that Seabird named her new album Trash Mountain, as it also contains its namesake’s qualities.
Opener:
Reid Parsons is a Vermont-born singer-songwriter whose music blends soul, folk, blues, and jazz-inflected Americana into something both grounded and expansive. Her debut full-length album, Back to Back, released in April 2025, has been praised for its “dynamic and eclectic approach to Americana” and described as “a tasteful tapestry of folk, soul, and chamber pop.” Written, arranged, and produced by Parsons, the record moves fluidly between intimate ballads and groove-driven full-band tracks, creating what critics have called an “intimate conversation” rich with emotional depth and warmth.
Influenced by artists like Bonnie Raitt, Lucinda Williams, and Frazey Ford, Parsons brings a fearless, genre-blurring sensibility to her songwriting and performances. Whether solo or backed by a band, her shows are marked by expressive vocals, sharp musicianship, and what one outlet called “architectural folk”—songs that balance subtle complexity with soul, space, and resonance
