Town Hall Theater presents 5 Fridays Concert Series: Block Party with Billy Wylder, DJ Serena Kim, & More!
2026-09-04 15:00 - 20:00 | Town Hall Theater, 68 South Pleasant Street, Middlebury, VT, 05753
Billy Wylder is a Burlington, Vermont art-rock band led by singer-songwriter Avi Salloway. The band’s sound pulls from American folk and rock, African rhythms, art-rock textures, violins, synths, and groove-heavy percussion. The influences trace back to Salloway’s years touring with Tuareg guitarist Bombino and to stages including Coachella, Newport Folk Festival, and Carnegie Hall. Salloway also created the All Rivers project, a cross-cultural musical collaboration that recently sold out at the Flynn Center in Burlington.
DJ Serena Kim is a Middlebury favorite. Co-owner of the Swift House Inn, she’s been one of the most in-demand DJs in town, with sets at Town Hall Theater, Crooked Ladle, and the Henry Sheldon Museum. Before settling here, she was one of the first female club DJs in New York City in the 1990s, sharing stages with Mark Ronson, Q-Tip, and Kool Herc.
More acts and surprises are still in the works.
Food trucks, Good Times Co. charcuterie, and bar offerings will be available for purchase. Bring a chair or a blanket. A limited number of folding chairs will be available. Outdoors on the Tilly Stage at the Maloney Plaza. Rain plan: the event moves indoors to the historic Rothrock Main Stage.
