Richmond: Andriana Chobot

Andriana Chobot

"Armed with an expressive alto", Andriana Chobot, a “theatrical voice that likely owes some debt to the emotionally forthright work of Rufus Wainwright and Sarah McLachlan” (SEVEN DAYS), brings an eclectic mix of pop-rock-indie-folk, with a touch of jazz, that immerses the listener into an original soundscape. Whether it's just her solo, delivering an electronic piano centered performance, or equipped with her band of local talent, she delivers renditions ranging in upbeat originals, covers and cool, ethereal ballads, with "fluttering piano...one very reminiscent of Imogen Heap, among others" (Local Blog; 'Classically Trained') Having spent many years as a professional human being and slightly less than that as a pianist, Andriana Chobot is bringing her talents to the world. Having picked up the piano at the young age of 4, Andriana started to write songs in her junior year of high school initially classical compositions, gradually evolving into what you hear today. Now, nearly twenty years after her first encounters with her weapon of choice, and having studied theatre, she says she loves performing whether it's music or dramatic plays onstage. For music, she says her sound is getting more experimental as time passes, but insists that she "couldn't even try" to define it. Nonetheless, Andriana cites influences such as those rare times when it's raining and the sun is shining at the same time.

Ali has released 2 albums, “Smoke & Mirrors” (2019) and “The Makeover” (2021), which is a remastered and reworked collection of songs from the past, including those from her first (improperly released) album, “Break”.

One can casually sit back and absorb easy listening latin-inspired instrumentals or lean into some sinister folk tales set on a western horizon.

Waterbury: Troy Millette

Troy Millette

What’s in a song? A dash of creativity, a few fresh rhymes, and a full serving of heart are the recipe for success according to singer/songwriter Troy Millette, who alongside his band the Fire Below has gained recognition as one of the region’s most engaging live acts.

Since emerging on the local circuit in 2009, Millette’s emotive and relatable lyrics have made him a staple of dives, clubs, and festivals across the northeast United States and Quebec. In March 2022 he was invited to showcase his talents at the SXSW festival in Austin, Texas. That same year, the Fire Below received the title of Vermont’s “Best Folk Group” at the Seven Daysies Awards.

In addition to hundreds of headlining shows, appearances at festivals such as Grace Potter's Grand Point North, and even a promotional run with Senator Bernie Sanders, Millette and company have shared bills with the likes of Counting Crows, LIVE, Bowling for Soup, Trey Anastasio (of Phish), Richard Marx, Rick Springfield, the Front Bottoms, Marcus King Band, American Authors, Josiah Johnson (of the Head and the Heart), Brett Dennen, Dawes, lovelytheband, the Ballroom Thieves, and many more!

The debut solo EP from Troy Millette entitled “Living With A Ghost” is a five-song collection that Seven Days says is “sure to strike a chord with fans of storytelling Americana troubadours such as [Jason] Isbell and the radio-friendly stylings of Kip Moore.” The singles that followed, “I Miss You,” and “Stay (Please)” have received recognition as a “Monthly Best” from Seven Days Magazine and entertainment blog County Tracks.

Tom Higgenson of Plain White T’s likened the pandemic single “I Miss You” to “classic Tom Petty storytelling, with modern pop repetition.”

The group's full-band debut, a cover of Taylor Swift’s “All Too Well” is available to stream now.
