The NH Acoustic Music Association presents a Pre-Spring Fling fundraiser, highlighting a potpourri of traditional acoustic music such as Celtic, Old Time and folk by outstanding NH musicians. The fundraiser takes place at the Tupelo's Music Hall in Londonderry, NH.
Jordan Tirrell-Wysocki has been fiddlin' around for 16 years, performing solo and collaborating with numerous bands around New England, New York City, and Ireland. Known for taking the fiddle into genres where it's rarely seen, Jordan nonetheless grew up on traditional Celtic music and therefore good ol' jigs and reels will always have a special place in his heart and in his performances. His new album, Into the Cold, is comprised of original songs deeply rooted in the Celtic tradition but made unique by funk and jam influences. Contact Jordan directly at Jordan@jordantwmusic.com to attend a pre concert workshop titled “Genre- Hopping” from 12 noon to 1 PM, pre registration required.
The Bradford Bog People play lively foot stomping traditional music of the Appalachian Mountains, from Eastern Kentucky, the Virginias, Ozarks, and North Carolina. Their music features rhythmic clawhammer banjo and fiddle dance tunes, unusual fiddle tunes played in archaic tunings, and ballads.
From the White Mountains of New Hampshire comes a unique blend of harmonies and guitars from the duo of Kathy Bennett and Thom Perkins, known as Bennett & Perkins. The pair performs a startling array of original songs with powerful lyrics and melodies, coupled with exceptionally strong vocals and guitar playing.
Seth is the consummate sideman, the versatile solo performer, the integral band member. He performs with the bands, "The Salty Dawgs", "The Seeing Eye Boys", & "The Folk Tradition". http://www.sethconnelly.com/
