SHELBURNE –\u00a0This July, the Shelburne Museum is hosting a combined performance from alternative rock group Guster and the Vermont Symphony Orchestra<\/a>, the first in its \u201cMediocre Band Everyone Forgot Existed, Improbably Paired with a Classical Music Ensemble\u201d summer concert series. But in August, fans of hopelessly mismatched musical artists have another exciting show coming their way: Spin Doctors and the Vermont Gregorian Chant Schola<\/a>.<\/p>\n

\u201cPairing up Spin Doctors with a Gregorian chant ensemble made a lot of sense to us,\u201d said Shelburne Museum director Thomas Denenberg. \u201cHere you have a rock band that was kind-of-sort-of a big deal once, merging their talents with a group that bellows indistinctly in Latin. It was a match made in heaven.\u201d<\/p>\n

Spin Doctors\u2019 lead singer Chris Barron also expressed excitement about the collaboration. \u201cWe\u2019ve been playing \u2018Two Princes\u2019 and \u2018Little Miss Can\u2019t Be Wrong\u2019 for two decades now, and to be honest, we\u2019re totally sick of them at this point,\u201d said Barron. \u201cPartnering with a Gregorian chant group has really helped us think about these songs in a whole new way.\u201d<\/p>\n

We asked Walter Kershaw, director of the Schola, how he feels about teaming up with Spin Doctors. \u201cWho are they again?\u201d he asked. \u201cThey had a hit or two in the nineties, right? Are they kind of like Sublime? It\u2019s crazy that they\u2019re still touring.\u201d<\/p>\n

The Shelburne Museum\u2019s summer concert series will also feature performances from Limp Bizkit and the Essex Children\u2019s Choir, Flock of Seagulls and St. Andrews Bagpipe Ensemble, and Banarama and Phyllis, a nice woman from the Burlington Baptist Church Choir who offered to help out and sing a few ditties.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
