The Next Stage Bandwagon Summer Series and Twilight Music present:
"Although New Hampshire isn’t the most obvious home for a group so devoted to the culture of The Big Easy, the Soggy Po’ Boys seem genuine in their ambition to spread the word about jazz New Orleans style, and they’re creating an accessible and fun way into this world." -London Jazz
The Soggy Po Boys, native to New England, have quickly become an institution. They are spreading the good news of New Orleans music across the northeast and beyond, playing at concert halls and street corners; music festivals and burlesque festivals; bars and libraries; wherever the party requires. Part of the beauty of New Orleans music is that it's celebrated and appreciated wherever it goes, from the street to the theater.
The Po Boys formed in 2012 to shake the walls of a local club on a Fat Tuesday but have honed their sound and become more than a Mardi Gras centerpiece. Exploring the vast musical traditions of New Orleans and expanding their repertoire to look beyond NOLA jazz, the band includes traditional Caribbean tunes (it’s been said that New Orleans is the northernmost city in the Caribbean), as well as Meters funk, soul, and brass band / street beat music.
“...These guys have done their homework, worked it out on the bandstand and put in the hours in the studio. It all adds up to a party you can bring with you when you want to treat your friends to a real good time.” -Ben Schenck of New Orleans’ Panorama Jazz Band”.
There are a myriad of traditions that flow into New Orleans culture just as there are tributaries that feed the Mississippi, and the Po Boys are eager to explore what makes the music of New Orleans so damn special. You’ll hear the heavy influence of the New Orleans sound across the band and in the stories told by their original tunes. Despite the scope of its sound, the outfit is only seven people, and thrives on the interplay and group dynamics that bring this music to life.
The Soggy Po Boys are:
Stuart Dias (vocals, guitar)
Zach Lange (trumpet)
Eric Klaxton (clarinet/soprano saxophone)
Nick Mainella (tenor saxophone)
Mike Effenberger (piano)
Scott Kiefner (upright bass)
Brett Gallo (drums/percussion)
The Bandwagon Summer Series is a family-friendly outdoor cultural performance series running from early May through mid-October. More than 20 performances ranging from a diverse group of musical styles, circus arts, dance, and theater will take place at ballfields, farms, and parks throughout Windham County. Kids under 12 always get in for free, and a dedicated play area will be available at all shows. Refreshments are sold onsite, including the return of last summer’s hugely popular Barr Hill cocktails, and the new addition of some selections from Mad River Distillers.
This performance is sponsored in part by The Richards Group.
Support for the Bandwagon Summer Series is provided by VTDigger, Brattleboro Reformer, Oak Meadow, Whetstone Beer Co., Landmark College, Barr Hill, Mad River Distillers, The Porch Café and Catering, and People’s United, a Division of M&T Bank.

Great beer great food (98% of the time) I just don’t understand how they expect to get a “suggested”20% tip on their app but are as attentive as McDonald’s.. My station fries lacked so much of the seasoning that actually makes them the station fries but was ignored when trying to waive a waitress down..that was after I ordered my own meal online and entered my own card#, entered my own choices for meals and handed my phone over to the person I took out to eat all because you can’t order until they get your payment information. Unless you sit at the bar that is.. Which most of the time is great but I don’t always want to have a personal conversation being elbow to elbow with folks I do not know..
I understand they are stream lining but I am not a fan.. I tip based on the quality of service and I don’t tip McDonald’s employees whom I have more interaction with at the drive thru than I did with the folks at the Whetstone tonight.
I am just happy the burger was awesome and the beer never disappoints..... See MoreSee Less
Beautiful views & great drinks! Online ordering went down during our visit, which increased wait time, but waitstaff tried thier best to check in on all the tables and gave us a couple of our drinks on the house. Definitely a better place to go with a date than a whole family due to the ordering/self serve fountain drinks, but still a great place to stop. We will definitely be returning!... See MoreSee Less
