Vermont-based multi-instrumentalist Bow Thayer is a true original, a restless musical inventor who has spent decades weaving together Americana, folk, blues, bluegrass, and psychedelia into something entirely his own. He made his name in Boston’s rock scene before trading city life for the Green Mountains, where he developed his signature sound and even designed the Bojotar, a hybrid banjo-resonator-guitar sold by Eastwood/Airline Guitar Company. A collaborator with legends — from Levon Helm to Booker T. — Bow’s latest album, The Book of Moss, is a deeply personal testament to craft, loss, and the rugged spirit of Vermont. Don’t miss your chance to catch this one-of-a-kind performer live at the 2026 Quechee Balloon Festival.
