Peter and Mary Alice Amidon and Tony Barrand do music at the Guilford Church nearby. Not sure if the Amidon children are still involved in the dance band Popcorn Behavior, or if it's in the area, but they are fun. You'd also be just a hop, skip and a jump from Northampton MA with all it has to offer. Bellows Falls isn't far. Mary Kay Brass is from Saxton's River, also not far from there, frequently playing with contra dance bands in the area.   It's also a good idea to check the VPR All the Traditions events calendar. I'll go looking for that website and post it here if I can. Great listing of all things folk. Also you are not too far from Keene NH. I expect Animaterra may chime in on this. If it's too grim, come up to Montpelier (what's a two hour drive) We have a ripping good jam session on Tuesday nights up here. There's also one on Thursday nights in South Royalton (only an hour and 15 minutes from Brattleboro)

Good luck!!
