Bio
The Tenderbellies are a Vermont-based string band whose music ranges from bold and brazen to delicate and somber through tightly arranged songs and improvisational exploration. The band thoughtfully bridges a variety of musical influences, creating a distinctive sound with a bluegrass backbone, but that also incorporates elements of blues, rock, soul, jazz and Dawg music. From intricate harmonies to fast-paced instrumental jams, The Tenderbellies deliver a live performance that’s heartfelt, high-energy and emblematic of a band comprised of dear friends.
The Tenderbellies have been recognized as one of Vermont’s finest, winning the “Seven Daisies” Award for Best Bluegrass Group in Vermont seven times in a row, a testament to their beloved place in their music scene. The Tenderbellies have held local residencies in the Burlington area, shared the stage with nationally touring acts, toured on the west coast and performed at music festivals, clubs and community events throughout New England. The band values bringing communities together by sharing their original music and energetic live performance.
The Tenderbellies’ latest album, “When the Thunder Rolls,” was released in April 2025 and is available on all streaming platforms and in both vinyl record and CD format for sale.
The Tenderbellies are: Chris Page (Guitar/Vocals), Collin Cope (Harmonica/Vocals), David Titus (Guitar/Vocals), Luke Hausermann (Bass/Vocals) and Matt Francis (Mandolin/Vocals)
“If there’s one feature prosperous bluegrass endeavors have in common, it’s a synergy resulting from fruitful and durable relationships. Picking and singing together a few nights here and there can’t fabricate those bonds. But through a commitment of time, and by way of shared experiences on and off the stage, The Tenderbellies have developed a deep level of comfort and trust.” – Seven Days
