BRATTLEBORO-Brattleboro-based band Eloise & Company is joined by Rachel Aucoin in a performance at the Brattleboro Music Center Friday, April 12, at 7 p.m.
Eloise & Co. is a shifting ensemble - often a duo and, at other times, a trio with piano or guitar. With Becky Tracy on fiddle, octave fiddle, and vocals and Rachel Bell on accordion and vocals, Eloise & Co. plays a range of music including French folk groove tunes, Celtic reels, waltzes, and Quebecois tunes.
In 2017, Tracy and Bell found themselves in a spontaneous jam session with Quebecois pianist Rachel Aucoin, and the resulting musical chemistry convinced them they had to play together again.
The trio "invites the audience into their shared musical delight with a variety of music," say organizers, ranging from old traditional tunes to their own new compositions, "all infused with the magnetism that drew them together in the first place."
Tickets are $20 ($25 at the door) and are available online on the BMC website at bmcvt.org, by calling 802-257-4523, or by emailing [email protected].
