From the Brattleboro Reformer 2019

Scanlon considered The Man Made Tragedies’ set to be one of the show’s most memorable moments. The punk group hails from Saxtons River and is led by Ezra Holloway.

His dramatic performance, Scanlon said, “was just jaw dropping … and I think it really brought the crowd to its knees.”

From 7 Days VT 2022

The evening’s most magnetic performer, bassist/vocalist Ezra Holloway, led Man Made Tragedies, the most seasoned of the five openings acts. Tall and lanky, sporting a bowl cut and a blue sweatshirt zipped right up to his throat, Holloway wore a wily grin and led his trio through a thundering set of original punk that rattled the church floor.

“C’mon!” Holloway screamed whenever the crowd’s engagement lagged even a second. He finished the set by slamming his mic stand repeatedly against the stage.
