Market Music is canceled for Saturday, 7/29!

The beginnings of The Better Days Band began back in 1971 as Better Days and Co., a band that was extremely popular around the New England club and concert scene from 1971 to 1975. A series of reunion gigs with bands from “back in the day” in 2012 resulted in a reincarnation of the group renamed The Better Days Band. Since then, BDB has been treating audiences to a blend of uniquely arranged classic rock standards sprinkled in with danceable R&B, Blues, and some funky stuff! 

The Better Days Band features two original members, Steven Hirsh from Burlington, VT on guitars, and Bobby Gagnier from Springfield, VT on the drums and vocals. Steve was a founding member of the North End Rhythm Kings, a very popular Burlington Band while Bobby has played in numerous area bands, notably, the band Anvil prior to the formation of Better Days & Co. Hanover, NH Bassist/vocalist Skip Truman has also played in several area bands including Tracks and Davis Bros. Garage. Mike Colburn of Enfield, NH rounds out the group on guitar and vocals. Mike is a former member of Boomer Sellers Band, Pressure Point, and Far Cry.
