Join us every other Saturday for the sunset shindig of the season at the Twilight Block Party! Burlington's newest downtown event merges the best of Twilight and the BTV Market with music, vendors, art activities, small bites and more. Weekly vendor map coming soon.

5PM: The Leatherbound Books blend pop-tinged indie rock with crushing low self-esteem to create music fit for a solo lap at your local roller rink or a ride in the back of a mid-90s station wagon. This Burlington-based trio get louder all the time, leaving their folksy roots behind and CRANKING DISTORTION!

Taking the stage next, the Jesse Taylor Band features songwriter Jesse Taylor and local talents Carlton Yost on drums, Nick Treis shredding the lead guitar, and Ian Greenman laying down the bass grooves. Together, they craft a sound that's as emotionally charged as it is electrifying, channeling elements of rock, pop, and punk that feel both personal and cinematic. Jesse Taylor’s songwriting draws inspiration from the mundane to the profound—long shifts in food service, challenges with mental health, and the rollercoaster of human relationships. Fans of Courtney Barnett and Regina Spektor will find a kindred spirit in her candid storytelling and dynamic performances. Not here to fit neatly into your genre boxes, the Jesse Taylor Band promises a musical journey that's as varied as it is authentic.
