Sure to strike a chord with fans of storytelling Americana troubadours such as [Jason] Isbell and the radio-friendly stylings of Kip Moore.” - Kristin Ravin

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. The group followed up with a second consecutive win the following year.
2023’s “The Errors Tour” and 2024’s “Less Than 1% of the World Tour” have taken Millette to more than 20 states.
In addition to hundreds of headlining shows, appearances at festivals such as Grace Potter's Grand Point North, Twiddle’s Tumble Down, Spruce Peak’s Homegrown in Vermont, and even a promotional run with Senator Bernie Sanders, Millette and company have shared bills with the likes of Counting Crows, Grace Potter, Guster, Bowling for Soup, Matt Quinn (of Mt. Joy), Chadwick Stokes (of Dispatch), LIVE, Richard Marx, Rick Springfield, Wheatus, Brett Dennen, the Marcus King Band, DEER TICK, the Front Bottoms, American Authors, Josiah and the Bonnevilles, the Ballroom Thieves, Josiah Johnson (of the Head and the Heart), Willie Watson (of Old Crow Medicine Show), Matt Sucich, Fantastic Cat, Lee DeWyze, and many more!
