Summer Concert Series: The So n Sos

In the Summer of 2021, during a show at the Battery Park Bandshell, Burlington-based band Be-er teamed up with Lil Sickles, a Burlington solo artist, as a backup band for some of her songs. The collaboration worked so well that they formed The So n Sos. They have a full 5 piece sound with Sickles on vocals and guitar, James Bellizia on lead guitar, Zach Landis on keyboards, Michael Nedell on bass and Ian Armstrong on drums. Seven Days named them one of the 7 Vermont bands not to miss at 2022’s Waking Windows Festival. Ranging from whiskey-soaked ballads, ockers, 80’s New Wave numbers, and the occasional jazzy jam, their energy and big sound have earned them the reputation as a must-see live band.
