PUTNEY-Next Stage Arts Project and Twilight Music present an evening of traditional and contemporary Celtic and fiddle music by the band Kalos and duo O'Brien & Flick on Friday, Sept. 6, at 7:30 p.m.
Three innovative interpreters and composers of Celtic roots music - Eric McDonald (guitar, mandolin, vocals), Ryan McKasson (fiddle, viola, vocals), and Jeremiah McLane (accordion, piano, vocals) - draw on years of experience performing with the likes of Cantrip, Nightingale, The Clayfoot Strutters, and Alasdair Fraser & Natalie Haas "to forge a new musical path," claim organizers.
Kalos members are masters of tradition whose artistry springs from strong traditional roots, and "as a trio they move beyond this foundation."
Hannah O'Brien and Grant Flick mix original compositions and traditional pieces from various fiddling traditions. With backgrounds in classical, Irish, and American improvisational idioms, they feature double fiddles, but also vary instrumentation, incorporating tenor guitar and nyckelharpa. Their musical interests are broad and, as a result, the award-winning duo showcases an eclectic assemblage of repertoire.
Next Stage is located at 15 Kimball Hill in downtown Putney. Tickets are $20 in advance, $25 at the door, and $10 for the livestream. Advance tickets are available at nextstagearts.org. Next Stage will provide a beer, wine, and cocktail cash bar. For information, call 802-387-0102.
