PUTNEY — Next Stage Arts Project and Twilight Music present an evening of folk, roots, and Americana music by California-based trio Rainbow Girls at Next Stage at 7 p.m. Thursday.

Children of Divorce (Genevieve Glimp, Finn O'Sullivan, Katie Yeager) opens the show. Rainbow Girls are an eclectic folk trio hailing from the golden countryside just north of California’s Bay Area. Vanessa May, Erin Chapin, and Caitlin Gowdey seamlessly combine soul-touching harmonies, varitextured instrumentals, and poignant lyrical content into a beautiful sonic tapestry.

Throughout their performance, voices are paired with an ever-changing amalgamation of acoustic and slide guitar, keys, upright bass, harmonica, and an array of vocal techniques creating an engaging and emotionally moving live show. Originally formed in Santa Barbara, Calif., in 2010, the Rainbow Girls have spread their musical wings both internationally and domestically, from busking on the streets of Europe to playing pubs and theaters in the UK, to house concerts, festivals, and shows in the U.

S. They've released four albums of music that delves deeply into themes of the human experience: hopeful love, honest self-reflection, and pursuits of social justice. Next Stage is located at 15 Kimball Hill in downtown Putney.

Tickets are $22 in advance / $25 at the door / $10 livestream. For information, call 802-387-0102. Advance tickets are available at nextstagearts.
