Jackson Browne to Play Vermont Benefit Concert for Jay Craven’s New Film, “Lost Nation” on July 11
Tickets on Sale This Friday, April 22
LOS ANGELES, April 18, 2022 /PRNewswire/ — Singer songwriter Jackson Browne will carry out a particular profit live performance along with his band for the brand new Kingdom County Productions (KCP) movie, “Misplaced Nation,” on Monday, July 11 on the Flynn Heart for the Arts in Burlington, VT. Showtime is 7:30pm. Tickets are on sale this Friday, April 22 at 10 AM native time on the Flynn Heart field workplace (https://www.flynnvt.org/Occasions). For extra info go to www.jacksonbrowne.com.
Billed as “An Night with Jackson Browne” the live performance will profit Vermont filmmaker Jay Craven’s new movie, “Misplaced Nation,” a multi-racial narrative set in New England throughout the American Revolution. Its potent and well timed story charts the parallel and intersecting journeys of enigmatic, larger-than-life Vermont founding father, Ethan Allen and early Vermont woman-of-words, Lucy Terry Prince, whose poem, “Bars Battle” is the primary recognized work of African-American literature.
“‘Misplaced Nation’ will seize an indelible second that conveys the complexity and energy of the early American dream,” stated Craven “and the problem to meet the promise of the American Revolution.” The movie was produced by KCP’s unique-in-the-nation Semester Cinema program, the place 30 professionals mentor and collaborate with 45 college students from 14 schools, to make an bold characteristic movie for nationwide launch.
KCP’s profit live performance is being produced in affiliation with Greater Floor and singer/songwriter/actress and Northeast Kingdom homesteader Ariel Zevon who has collaborated on a number of KCP movies together with “Misplaced Nation,” “Jack London’s Martin Eden,” “Wetware” and the 2020 documentary theater venture, “The Similar Moon.”

‘Sip & Shop’ returns to Rutland
RUTLAND, Vt. (WCAX) – A popular event in Rutland is pairing sipping and shopping.
Sip & Shop pairs Vermont-made food and beverage businesses like Rutland Beer Works and Golden Rule Mead with more than 20 small businesses throughout the downtown.
There are both alcoholic and non-alcoholic options at many of the stores participating.
While there are plenty of old favorites for folks to revisit, multiple new businesses have popped up this spring hoping to catch the eyes of customers.
Hali Issente with the Downtown Rutland Partnership says they are banking on this being a boost to business. “It brings in new traffic, new folks to get to see what they offer. Many new people walk in and say, ‘I never knew you carried all of this, and it’s really great to see that.’ And a lot of businesses have great sales during the evening,” Issente said. “With many new businesses opening in Rutland, they’re going to use this event as an opening day and a really great way to get folks into the door.”
Shoppers can take everything they buy or receive home in reusable bags. The event wraps up at 8 p.m.

DEC outlines wetland building policies
BURLINGTON, Vt. (WCAX) – Buying land is a big decision. With so much wetland in Vermont, state leaders are making sure you don’t end up in a soggy situation.
It’s American Wetlands Month, and Vermont’s Department of Enviromental Conservation wants buyers to be informed before they buy.
Regulations can impact whether a property on wetlands can be developed or require a special permit. Some parcells known as swamp lots are mostly wetlands and may not be allowed to be developed under state rules.
You can visit Vermont DEC’s website for a map of Vermont’s wetlands and development and permitting policies.
