In their harmonies is a reminder that truth is rarely loud\, that connection can be a form of resistance\, and that art—when rooted in sincerity—can help us navigate even the most unsettled times. They offer not answers but companionship\, a kind of melodic refuge where the heart can regather its strength. \nTheir newest release\, Touch Grass Vol. 1 & 2\, continues this work—songs rooted in land\, kinship\, and the urgent need to reconnect with the world beneath our feet. The albums feel like field notes from the heart: intimate\, grounded\, and offered in a spirit of repair. \nCome listen and experience The Mammals LIVE @ afterthoughts. \n$25adv. \nTickets at sevendaystickets.com URL:https://madrivervalley.com/event/the-mammals/ LOCATION:afterthoughts\, 8 Vt Route 17 200\, Waitsfield\, Vermont\, 05673\, United States CATEGORIES:Live Music ATTACH;FMTTYPE=image/png:https://madrivervalley.com/wp-content/uploads/2026/06/THE-MAMMALS-8.5x11-Instagram-Post-45-1.png ORGANIZER;CN="afterthoughts":MAILTO:hello@afterthoughtsvt.com END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTART;TZID=America/New_York:20260718T140000 DTEND;TZID=America/New_York:20260718T153000 DTSTAMP:20260617T110508 CREATED:20260514T223007Z LAST-MODIFIED:20260616T212951Z UID:10054782-1784383200-1784388600@madrivervalley.com SUMMARY:Stark Mountain Foundation Naturalist Hikes DESCRIPTION:Stark Mountain Foundation is thrilled to welcome back Vermont Master Naturalist Gene O.
