A Summer Evening with Natalie Merchant

Dorset Theatre Festival, under the leadership of Artistic Director Dina Janis, is excited to announce the addition of AN EVENING WITH NATALIE MERCHANT to the Festival’s 42nd season. A special one-night-only concert at the Dorset Playhouse (104 Cheney Rd, Dorset, VT 05251) on August 4, the event is co-produced with Higher Ground Presents (www.highergroundmusic.com).

Natalie Merchant has announced ‘An Evening With…’ summer tour of intimate venues across New England. The tour comprises 11 concerts, beginning in Brownfield, ME on July 25 and ending in Hudson, NY on August 9, and (with the exception of Great Barrington) features towns that Merchant has never played before. Two years after 2017’s “Three Decades of Song Tour,” which played mostly large amphitheaters in major markets, this will be a unique opportunity for fans to see the celebrated singer play towns and cities chosen by Merchant herself and not usually included on her tours. She will be joined by her long-time guitarist Erik Della Penna, who has been playing with her for 20 years, performing material from the past 35 years of Merchant’s career.
