Eliza tours the Midwest, northeast, mid-South and sometimes the West Coast, and has performed at Hancock Shaker Village and the Store at Five Corners.  Her music is on Spotify and other streaming platforms and from her website.

Here's her standard blurb: 

Born and raised in the Berkshires and currently living in Brooklyn, N.Y.⁠, Eliza Edens (Densmore) weaves together disparate influences of people and place into her work to create mesmerizing sonic tapestries with guitar and voice. With a love for tinkering with alternate tunings à la Nick Drake, a curious harmonic ear from years of childhood classical piano lessons, and an ever-expanding affinity for words and stories, Edens’ songs build a kaleidoscopic world that documents the parallels between hope and heartbreak. The resulting sound is a diverse palette of guitar-based, experimental folk-rock centered around Edens gently cradled voice and brimming at the edges with pockets of sonic whimsy.

Humble Pie caterers Kristin Kennedy and Heather Mumford describe their Airstream, bakery, kitchen and catering service

Inside the Airstream

This is a short post about Humble Pie, a business that catered an 80-person dinner for us in January 2024. This is in a sense a commercial message, but it's not paid for.  It's about a commercial kitchen, bakery and catering service based near Bennington, Vt., that serves the corner of Massachusetts, Vermont and New York we inhabit. 

We asked Kristin Kennedy to describe the service she operations with her partner Heather Mumford and here's what she sent along: 

Full service catering, serving Southern Vermont, the Berkshires and New York east of Albany.  Emphasizing use of whole foods, local fresh and seasonal ingredients.

"Humble Pie Airstream kitchen, Humble Spirits bar truck, & Chickadee catering are all connected by a pair of local ladies called Kristin Kennedy & Heather Mumford. Between our Airstream food truck & vintage horse trailer bartruck, we are able to ROCK your event! We are passionate about making delicious, homemade food & sourcing from local farmers. We also like to keep things as eco friendly as possible. 

"Our 1974 Airstream has been refurbished into a 30 foot, compact catering kitchen on wheels, featuring a double convection oven, cook-top, large griddle & fryer! With this set-up we can create some fun menu options! We can also set-up an outdoor kitchen with a grill, whenever needed. This means your dinner can be cooked on site and be as fresh as possible! Paired with our super fun, teal mobile bar with kegerator & full bar set-up, and staffed with an awesome crew, you're set for the ultimate duo! Oh yeah, and we love to decorate them! 

Home base

"We're also in the process of building a brick & mortar catering kitchen in Petersburg NY called Chickadee catering, just over the border of Pownal on Rte 346, so we can cater larger events! Coming in 2025!

 "Just in need of catering services? No problem, we do that too! We've collected lots of catering equipment over our many years in the industry, and retain reliable food vendors such as Black River produce, HIllcrest foods & Sysco that we source from. We often pair with the beautiful Buxton school in Williamstown, Massachusetts for special events & kitchen rentals as well." 

Thanks for your interest! Stay in the loop with us on Facebook & Instagram! 

Cheers! Kristin (Kennedy) & Heather (Mumford)
