About the show:
Vermont’s TROY MILLETTE & THE FIRE BELOW are equal parts thoughtful and lively– a cocktail of rock, pop, folk, and americana music that grapples with love, loss, and the human experience.
Millette’s emotive and relatable lyrics, as well as his energetic, banter-filled live performances have made him a staple of dives, clubs, theaters, and festivals across the northeast United States and Quebec. His work as a frontman and solo performer garnered the title of Vermont’s “Best Folk Group” from Seven Days Magazine in 2022 and 2023 (some guy named Noah Kahan beat them in 2024. No big deal).
His “Errors Tour” and “Less Than 1% of the World Tour” have taken Millette to more than 20 states since fall 2023.
In addition to hundreds of headlining shows, appearances at renowned music festivals such as SXSW, Grace Potter’s Grand Point North, Waking Windows, and Twiddle’s Tumble Down, and a campaign run with Senator Bernie Sanders, Troy Millette and the Fire Below have shared bills with the likes of Counting Crows, Grace Potter, Guster, Bowling for Soup, Matt Quinn (of MT. Joy), Chadwick Stokes (of DISPATCH), +LIVE+, Richard Marx, Rick Springfield, Wheatus, Brett Dennen, the Marcus King Band, DEER TICK, the Front Bottoms, American Authors, Josiah and the Bonnevilles, Fantastic Cat, Willie Watson, Lee DeWyze, Fantastic Cat, the Ballroom Thieves, and more!
The debut solo EP from Troy Millette entitled “Living With A Ghost” is a five-song collection that Seven Days says is “sure to strike a chord with fans of storytelling Americana troubadours such as [Jason] Isbell and the radio-friendly stylings of Kip Moore.” The singles that followed, “I Miss You,” and “Stay (Please)” have received recognition as a “Monthly Best” from Seven Days Magazine and entertainment blog County Tracks.
The full-band debut, a cover of Taylor Swift’s “All Too Well,” is available to stream now. “In Another Life,” the first original single from the upcoming debut full-length LP is coming soon.
Troy launched his music interview podcast “Load-In Through the Back” with co-host Pauly V in August of 2024, and has featured guests such as Soul Asylum, Five for Fighting, REO Speedwagon, Sierra Hull, Arrested Development, Everclear, and many more! Episodes are now streaming on Spotify, Apple Podcasts, or at their official website: LoadInPodcast.com.

A Listening Room Experience
Hermit Woods is excited to bring talented artists from New England and beyond to perform for you. Each performance will provide you with an intimate, up-close, and personal experience with the performing artists. We ask our audience please refrain from talking during the featured show. Your silence will allow the artists and the audience to immerse themselves in the experience, which is not otherwise possible in larger, noisier environments.

The kitchen will close at 7:00 pm. When the featured artists takes the stage we will ask that the audience remain quiet during the performance.
