Co-hosts Andrew James (@OneWhoSeesDimly) and Eric D. (@HopSnobbery) launch Episode 010 of Riff On, with very special guest, Vermont singer, songwriter, guitarist and Netflix enthusiast, Troy Milette (@MilletteMusic). Troy has been playing the Vermont music scene since 2010 and after starting off his musical career as a solo guitarist, he partnered with violinist, Dylan Gombas, and they won the 2017 Grand Point North Seven Days Local Band Contest. For the 2018 edition of Grand Point North, the Skinny Pancake asked Troy if he'd play a post festival set with additional musicians and his new band, The Fire Below, was born. Troy plays his tracks "Fix This", "Runaway" and “Ghosts (Of What We Used to Be)” during the episode. "Ghosts (Of What We Used to Be)” became available May 4th, 2018 on all digital platforms. Troy recently recorded his debut EP in 2018 and it will be available in February of 2019. Troy will be playing with his band The Fire Below, along with Chris & Eric and Andrew James band Citizen Bare on Friday, December 21st at 14th Star Brewery in St. Albans for their sixth annual 'Home for the Holidays' show.

Warming up our October concert was the DuPont Brothers. Zack and Sam DuPont are a Burlington, VT based indie-folk-americana duo. Since the start of the band in March of 2013, the brothers have toured heavily throughout the Northeast, Mid Atlantic, South and Mid West in an independent pursuit to get their songs to as many ears as possible. Their travels have opened doors to festival appearances at SXSW & Grand Point North in addition to performances in support of some of their musical heroes including Bahamas, Blake Mills, Sturgill Simpson, Ben Sollee, Langhorne Slim, Chris Eldridge & Julian Lage and Jerry Douglas to name a few. This past year, they have been working on a new studio album with VT producer, Michael Chorney and a hand picked cast of local musicians. Their sophomore full length and first ever vinyl release, A Riddle For You, was released on June 3rd 2016 and is available on all the digital music hubs. Photo courtesy of Howard Greenberg
