We might have bumped the clocks forward an hour and spring may technically be a mere week away, but you'd hardly know it from the snowpocalypse currently a-brewin' outside. But, hey, at least we've got an extra hour of daylight in which to shovel. Amirite?!
Sigh…
But warmer days really are ahead, and they're closer than you think. To help remind us of that, here are a bunch of updates and announcements released this week concerning some notable music happenings slated for the spring and summer months.

Ray LaMontagne
Leading off, Higher Ground Presents announced two shows in the annual Ben & Jerry's Concerts on the Green series at Shelburne Museum. The first is soulful songwriter
Ray LaMontagne with the
Belle Brigade on Wednesday, May 28. The following Friday, June 6,
Tedeschi Trucks Band take the stage.
In other news, the
Burlington Discover Jazz Festival unveiled four more big acts for this year's jazzenanny. Iconic crooner
Tony Bennett returns to the Flynn MainStage in Burlington for the first time since 2009 on Saturday, May 31. He'll once again be joined by his daughter,
Antonia Bennett. (Note to the guy who heckled Antonia by calling for her dad to come out during her opening set at the Flynn in 2009: Stay home, shithead.)
Also added to the 2014 BDJF lineup are nine-time Grammy-winning pianist
Eddie Palmieri and his Eddie Palmieri Latin Jazz Band (Flynn MainStage on Sunday, June 8), indie rock-jazz hybrid trio
Dawn of Midi (FlynnSpace, Sunday, June 1) and, back by popular demand following their 2009 BDJF reunion show, Burlington acid-jazz giants
Belizbeha, who will celebrate their 20th anniversary with a gig at the Waterfront Tent on Saturday, June 7, with the
Jennifer Hartswick Band and
Kat Wright and the Indomitable Soul Band.

And if all that's not enough to ease your Seasonal Affective Disorder, here's a random video of ravers dancing, set to Benny Hill music.
