2025-08-24 15:00 - 17:00 (America/New_York) | Lawson’s Finest Taproom, 155 Carroll Road, Waitsfield, VT, 05673, United States
Granville Daze started in July 2021. John and Victoria Crowne have been married over 33 years and moved with their 2 children, now grown men, to Granville Vermont in 2006. They sing all original music all the time, written by John. Their tag line is: Organic music handcrafted and harvested in the Green Mountains of Vermont. They have been performing around central Vermont and Enfield New Hampshire. The goal was to get good enough to play for the neighborhood. They didn’t expect the success and support they have received from the musical community. They sing about Peace, love, songs that make a statement about the environment and social activism. They recently submitted a song for NPR’s Tiny Desk Concert Contest. Granville Daze is excited to play for Lawson’s Finest and their friends in Waitsfield and surrounding towns.

Corey, a fiddle player who grew up on a dairy farm in Benson, is the son of a fine, old-time fiddler. He started playing at age 10, learning hundreds of Irish, Scottish and French-Canadian fiddle tunes from his father. Corey has become one of Vermont’s most sought-after traditional fiddlers, gracing the stage with Bob Amos and Catamount Crossing, Big Spike Bluegrass, The Haymakers and Spare Parts among countless other notable groups and musicians.
The McCuen Brothers have been performing side-by-side for nearly 30 years, founding the bands Wiley Dobbs, Acoustic Undermind, and Swing Noire, and sharing the stage with the likes of Frank Vignola, Jamie Masefield, Charlie Hunter and Doug Perkins. The brothers provide tight vocal harmonies and rhythmic accompaniment, as only twins can. Rob dazzles audiences with his fluid solos on mandolin and guitar, while Jim holds down the low end on upright bass.
