In March of 2020 I began a project photographing Burlington/Vermont based musicians in concert, portrait, and at work. The project began as a way to introduce myself to incredible musicians and the people who make the music scene function in Vermont. Upon introduction to the Burlington music scene, I was struck by the interconnection of musicians in the city. One musician will play in three bands while running their own solo projects. It really inspired me.

​

Immediately after beginning the project, the Coronavirus pandemic struck Vermont and I, being a college student, was sent home to Massachusetts. Returning to Vermont in June of 2020 brought me into a drastically different music scene than when I left. A scene that lacked inspiration and connection among musicians.

​

As I began to reach out to musicians to photograph, another narrative appeared through the project. My photographs were met with “thank yous” from musicians and followers through my social media channels. I felt the project begin to gain power as a connection and inspiration tool. I seek to continue to connect and document the Vermont music scene throughout the next year and a half. My hope is to close the project with a gallery that displays the amazing people that make up the Burlington music scene and how they handled the Coronovirus pandemic and its damaging effects on the music industry.
