“ There ’ s an incredible talent pool here in Vermont that ’ s full of amazing artists . The music is authentic , and the musicians are accessible and unpretentious . There ’ s a real love of the craft here , and the scene has a lot of potential . I ’ m looking forward to developing more connections with local artists , whether that ’ s through live performance networking or through online platforms .”
As Sargent continues to promote his most recent YouTube video and Spotify single for “ Don ’ t Pick Up The Phone ,” his artistic passion has been bolstered through a series of ongoing , multifaceted creative endeavors . “ I recently performed in the Dorset Players ’ production of Kiss Me Kate ,” says Sargent . “ It was a great chance to get back to my theatrical roots .” Sargent is also looking forward to putting out a mini-documentary with Jonathan Roman Burdick . “ He ’ s an extremely
talented videographer .” According to Sargent , the documentary came about when Broman came up to Southern Vermont and met up with Sargent and Niki Kaos , a radio personality from nearby Saratoga Springs , New York . “ It ’ s going to be a ‘ day in the life ’ mini-documentary , and I ’ m very excited for it .”
Building on the success of his live performances in Bennington County , Sargent recently graced the stage at Blue Cat Bistro in Castleton . “ George Nostrand , a musician that owns A Sound Space in Rutland , started a music series up there . I was the first to play , which was a huge honor . It ’ s great to be able to connect with people across Vermont , and I want to give a special shoutout to 102.7 WEQX for playing my singles on their weekly radio show , EQXposure . I ’ m looking forward to submitting my newest single , “ Guitar ,” to them when I release it in the first quarter of 2024 . It was filmed and recorded here in Vermont , and it ’ s going to be a fun song for the spring and summer .”
