Experience Erin Harpe live on August 7th

Erin Harpe will perform at the Bennington Museum in Bennington, Vermont on August 7, 2026. Harpe is an American singer-songwriter known for her distinctive fingerstyle guitar playing and emotive vocals. Her music blends elements of folk, blues, and Americana, often incorporating storytelling through lyrical content exploring themes of resilience, nature, and personal experience. She frequently utilizes open tunings and percussive techniques on her guitar, creating a rich and layered sound despite typically performing as a solo artist.

The Bennington Museum, established in 1852, originally began as the Bennington Battle Monument Association’s headquarters, focused on preserving the history of the Battle of Bennington during the Revolutionary War. Over time its scope broadened significantly. Today it houses a diverse collection including Grandma Moses paintings – for which it is particularly renowned – as well as regional historical artifacts, decorative arts, and works by other significant American artists. The museum's building itself comprises multiple structures reflecting different eras of its development. It functions as both a repository of Vermont's cultural heritage and a venue for exhibitions and community events. The museum grounds are located near the historic Old First Church and offer scenic views of the surrounding landscape.
