Irish music from Portland and Boston<br />
<br />
Fódhla brings both high energy and stellar artistry to the traditional music
stage.<br />
The trio’s sound is firmly rooted in the traditional Irish melodies and
ornamentation that fiddler Ellery Klein and flute player Nicole Rabata honed
during years spent abroad in Ireland’s cities Cork, Limerick, and Ennis. Fiddle
and flute tunes are superbly supported by guitarist Bethany Waickman, whose
inventive, tasteful chords unfold with driving rhythm perfected from years of
playing for contradances.<br />
<br />
Cognizant of their North American roots, Fódhla aims to appeal to a broad
audience by bringing variety, inventive harmonies and unique arrangements to
traditional music. A typical concert starts off with high-energy traditional
sets of Irish reels and jigs. Fiddle and flute then trade melody and harmonies
on a Québécois waltz paired with an elegant French bourrée. A joyful and
toe-tapping pair of barndances soar out on a high note. Finally, the soft notes

White</span></b><span face=""Arial",sans-serif"> is equal parts
storyteller-comedian-author-troubadour-folk singer-songwriter, and has been
bringing audiences to laughter and tears for 30 years. White’s arc as an
award-winning songwriter and performer has taken him from his industrial
hometown of Lynn, MA across the country as hitchhiker, through Boston’s comedy
clubs and coffeehouses, and onto the stage with greats like Arlo Guthrie, Taj
Mahal, Ritchie Havens, Patty Larkin, Bill Morrissey, Tom Rush, Louden Wainright
III, and Christine Lavin, with whom he toured for 8 years all across North
America in a co-bill called <i>The Funny Side of the Street</i>. At every
point, White has been the ultimate observer, infusing his work with his
experiences as a husband, a father, a seeker, and a joker.<br /></span><span face=""Arial",sans-serif">As a storyteller, White has been
featured at festivals around the country including the Timpanogos Storytelling
Festival in Utah and Cave Run Storytelling Festival in Kentucky. Since 2015, he
has joined master storytellers Bil Lepp and Bill Harley in <i>Father’s Daze</i>,
a hilarious three-man storytelling show about the triumphs and tribulations of
fatherhood. White is hilariously funny, but his humor always comes from his big
heart.<br /></span><span face=""Arial",sans-serif">White has released ten CDs, three live
DVDs, and an two books: <em><span face=""Arial",sans-serif" style="color: black;"><a href="https://www.donwhite.net/author/#_blank"><span style="color: black; text-decoration: none; text-underline: none;">Memoirs of a C
Student</span></a></span></em><em><span face=""Arial",sans-serif">
</span></em>and the just released <i>The Hitchhiking Years and 4 Other Stories.<em><span face=""Arial",sans-serif"> </span></em></i>His latest album
is <em><span face=""Arial",sans-serif"><a href="https://shop.donwhite.net/product/live-at-the-guthrie-center/#_blank"><span color="windowtext" style="text-decoration: none; text-underline: none;">Live at the Guthrie
Center</span></a></span></em>, available now. In 2011, he won the Jerry
Christen Memorial Award, given out by Boston Area Coffeehouse Association, for
his work with the community and that same year was given a key to the city in
his hometown of Lynn, Massachusetts.<br /></span><i style="mso-bidi-font-style: normal;"><span face=""Arial",sans-serif">White
is a riot on stage, a bona fide crowd pleaser. One of the most popular acts on
the circuit. He plays an audience the way Leo Kottke plays a 12-string.</span></i><span face=""Arial",sans-serif"> - the Boston Globe<br /></span><strong><span face=""Arial",sans-serif">ARTIST’S WEBSITE: </span></strong><span class="MsoHyperlink"><span face=""Arial",sans-serif"><a href="https://www.donwhite.net/">https://www.donwhite.net/</a></span></span></div>

singer, songwriter, and all around super-genius, Jim Infantino. Armed with the
innate ability to create songs that are more brilliant than all others in
history, Infantino gives the band the gift of greatness.” Or so says its own
publicity. </span><span style="background: white; color: #222222; font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 107%; mso-bidi-font-family: Calibri; mso-bidi-theme-font: minor-latin;"><o:p></o:p></span></p>

Infantino grew up in the Manhattan of the 70s and 80s where he met Dave Van
Ronk. He studied Philosophy moved to Boston to become a songwriter and busker.
After playing the local coffeehouses and touring with Ellis Paul, Jon Svetkey,
& Brian Doser under the name End Construction Productions, as well as two
separate tours with Chris Chander and Dar Williams, he formed a band called
Jim’s Big Ego. He has 7 albums with his band and 2 solo recordings. His songs
have been featured on the Doctor Demento Show, and NPR. In 2012, after years of
touring with his band, Jim got the inspiration for a story too large to fit
into song and began writing his debut novel. He is currently working on a new
book, and two new sets of recordings to be released later this year. Jim lives
in Boston and drinks a fair bit of coffee.</span><span class="MsoHyperlink"><span style="background: white; font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 107%; mso-bidi-font-family: Calibri; mso-bidi-theme-font: minor-latin;"><o:p></o:p></span></span></p>

realm-hopping jester of infinite glee, whose unprecedented extremely fast
bouncy cello style blows minds of all kinds. A charming entertainer with
unbridled passion, his joy is so contagious that many showgoers complain of
sore facial muscles afterwards (the name Rushad means “joyful soul”).</span><p></p><span style="font-family: "Calibri",sans-serif; font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 107%; mso-ansi-language: EN-US; mso-ascii-theme-font: minor-latin; mso-bidi-language: AR-SA; mso-bidi-theme-font: minor-latin; mso-fareast-font-family: "Times New Roman"; mso-fareast-language: EN-US; mso-hansi-theme-font: minor-latin;">
<br />
A whimsically adventurous sense of melody shines through in all shades &
styles on any of the many instruments Rushad bejicks “to keep it fresh”.
Sometimes he reads mystical poetry in his own language, speaks in
tongues, channels aliens, throat-sings, beat-boxes, or does skits as different
characters such as Negative Ralph, Country Bob, The Goblin, or Guru Fafa which
he has a right to embody because of his half-indian heritage.<br />
<br />
Somewhat of an acrobat, Rushad can spin on one leg, hang upside down, do
splits, play in plough pose, and catch flying fruits in his mouth while playing
fast intricate cello rhythms. A distinguished flatpicker, his innovation
and skill are admired by many guitar luminaries. Although some of his music is
avant garde and experimental (he has an amazing deathmetal cat-voice), he is an
expert at making personal anthems to those for which he is playing.<br />

The duo began collaborating at University of Michigan School of Music, Theatre, & Dance in 2019. They found common ground despite coming from different backgrounds with Hannah from Irish fiddling and Grant from American improvisational idioms. In August 2021 they released their first duo record, “Windward.” This album features a collection of their original tunes but also some of their takes on fiddling standards. Their arrangements have been worked up without notation and sometimes incorporate improvised sections. While the duo feels at home on double fiddle, they also change instrumentation often incorporating tenor guitar and nyckelharpa. Their musical interests are broad and as a result their programs showcase an eclectic assemblage of repertoire.</span></h1><p style="background-color: white; color: #222222; font-family: "Times New Roman", serif; font-size: 12pt; margin-left: 0in; margin-right: 0in;"><span face="Arial, sans-serif"><b>ADMISSION: </b>B</span><span face="Arial, sans-serif">y free-will offering, suggested donation adults $15-20; teens and seniors $10; children $5. <span style="background-attachment: initial; background-clip: initial; background-image: initial; background-origin: initial; background-position: initial; background-repeat: initial; background-size: initial; color: #4b4f56;">100% of patron donations go to the artists.</span> <span style="background-attachment: initial; background-clip: initial; background-image: initial; background-origin: initial; background-position: initial; background-repeat: initial; background-size: initial; color: red; letter-spacing: 0.4pt;">Please make reservations through</span><span style="background-attachment: initial; background-clip: initial; background-image: initial; background-origin: initial; background-position: initial; background-repeat: initial; background-size: initial; letter-spacing: 0.4pt;"> <span class="gmail-MsoHyperlink" style="color: #0563c1; text-decoration-line: underline;"><a href="http://notlobmusic.eventbrite.com/" style="color: #0563c1;">http://notlobmusic.eventbrite.com</a></span></span><strong><br /><br />ARTIST’S WEBSITE: </strong><span class="gmail-MsoHyperlink" style="color: #0563c1; text-decoration-line: underline;"><a href="https://www.obrienflickmusic.com/" style="color: #0563c1;">https://www.obrienflickmusic.com/</a></span><strong><span style="font-weight: normal;"></span></strong></span></p><p style="background-color: white; color: #222222; font-family: "Times New Roman", serif; font-size: 12pt; margin-left: 0in; margin-right: 0in;"><strong><span face="Arial, sans-serif">VENUE: </span></strong><span face="Arial, sans-serif">The concert will be presented at FIVESPARKS - https://www.fivesparks.org/ - 7 Fairbanks Street, Harvard, Massachusetts 01451, the restored 1890 town library building.

by music – credit to her upbringing as daughter of an international folk dance
teacher, and an old-time folk music devotee, she grew up thinking that playing
music, dancing, singing with others was what people do. Though entrenched
in the traditional cultural arts of Appalachia, her home was in New York City,
Baltimore, now Oakland – in cities, not mountains. But tradition bearers came
through and played in her living room, with weekends spent at music festivals
and house parties. Evie’s performances, recordings and teaching reconnect
Appalachian music/dance with other African-Diaspora traditions, and have been
heard from A Prairie Home Companion to Lincoln Center, Hardly Strictly
Bluegrass to Celtic Connections. Evie tours internationally with Keith Terry
and her Evie Ladin Band; and has produced numerous albums and instructional
DVDs. </span><p style="background: white; margin-top: 0in;"><span style="background: white; color: #0e1f2a; font-family: "Arial",sans-serif;">

quickly followed by a 2020 EP of favorite cover songs <i>Playing Our Hand</i>.
In the percussive dance world, Evie directs the moving choir <strong><span style="font-family: "Arial",sans-serif;">MoToR/dance</span></strong> for
live performance and award winning dance films <i>Ain’t No Grave</i> and <i>The

<span style="font-size: 12.0pt; mso-bidi-font-family: Calibri; mso-bidi-theme-font: minor-latin;">Noah y Maurizio is a Boston-based band
that comes out of the vibrant musical environments of the Berklee College of
Music and the Acoustic Music Seminar at the Savannah Music Festival. The
individual members of the group are widely recognized as emerging artists in
the acoustic music scene, but come from varied musical backgrounds -
Traditional and Contemporary, Appalachian and Venezuelan, Brazilian and Jazz
influences combine to give Noah y Maurizio a unique sound and broad appeal.
Their debut album “Acoustic Travelogue” is set to come out in Spring
2020. <br />
Noah and Maurizio met and became friends in 2017 while studying Jazz
Composition at Berklee. In 2018, Noah and Parker Ousley attended the
Acoustic Music Seminar at the Savannah Music Festival and bonded over their love
of many different kinds of music, workshopping tunes with each other and
eventually performing together at the festival with Canadian fiddle player
extraordinaire Clara Rose. <br />
Upon returning to Berklee, Noah talked to Maurizio about putting together a
group to explore each other’s music, and suggested involving Brazilian guitar
guru Joao Perrusi, and they experimented with leading downsized Jazz orchestras
for a time<br />
In February of 2019, Clara reached out to Noah saying she was coming to visit
Boston for a week, and they decided to put together a few shows to celebrate!
Noah contacted Maurizio and asked if he wanted to try something very
different than the Jazz Orchestras they’d been leading, and Maurizio said sure.
Parker Ousley and Joao Perrusi came onboard to round out the group, and
Mandolin maniac Ethan Setiawan topped it all off. After a furious week of
rehearsing brand new material, the shows went off without a hitch, and the
group even found time to record an entire album with the great engineer Alex
Leiva. <br />
After Clara returned to Canada, Maurizio and Noah agreed that they had found
something special, and wanted to continue the project. They brought on
the indomitable Sofia Chiarandini to take up the all-important role of fiddle
player, and became Noah y Maurizio! <br />
Since then they have played at Grey Fox 2019, WBUR Cityspace, Rabb Hall, and
all around the Boston area. </span><span style="color: #222222; font-size: 12.0pt;"><o:p></o:p></span></div>

<span style="font-size: 12.0pt; mso-bidi-font-family: Calibri; mso-bidi-theme-font: minor-latin;">Innovative musicians/dancers with a quirky neo-trad soul, Oakland,
California-based Evie Ladin & Keith Terry throw down original folk songs
and deep interpretations of old songs, with the kinetic thrill of percussive
dance.<br />
Ladin sings and plays infectious clawhammer banjo, while Terry is a master
percussionist. It was Appalachian string band music pared to the absolute
minimum of accompaniment, but packed with an orchestra’s worth of rhythm. —
Music City Roots, Nashville<br />
A prolific singer-songwriter, percussive dancer and square dance caller, the
polyrhythmic heat of Evie’s clawhammer banjo has been heard from A Prairie Home
Companion to Celtic Connections, Lincoln Center to Hardly Strictly Bluegrass.
She can write, she can sing, and she pulls back from the saccharine brink with
wit – a sharp intelligence. –Grant Alden, No Depression<br />
Trained as a jazz drummer, Keith Terry brings tonal percussion to stand-up
bass, is a renowned percussionist/rhythm dancer, the founder of the
International Body Music Festival, and a collaborator with a host of inventive
performers from Bobby McFerrin, Tex Williams and Robin Williams, to Turtle
Island Quartet, Charles “Honi” Coles and Bill Irwin. Mr. Terry in action is
like visiting an anatomical carnival, where hands, feet, fingers, engage in a
musical ballet. – Wall Street Journal<br />
Evie & Keith perform for all ages, and are skilled educators, often
offering workshops and in-school activities while touring, from elementary
through professional level training on a host of topics. In 2019 they celebrate
the release of the fourth CD of original music, Caught On A Wire, with the Evie
Ladin Band, a tight trio with Erik Pearson.</span></div>

presentations between February, 2013 and July 2015; coincidentally, the first there
was #100, headlined by Eggleston. #201 and 202 will be Sunday, December
15 at a new venue in Harvard, MA, its 19th century library re-purposed as a gallery/performing arts center, "<a href="https://www.harvardculture.org/" target="_blank"><u><span style="color: blue;">Fivesparks</span></u></a>." <o:p></o:p></span></div>

<span style="font-size: 12.0pt; mso-bidi-font-family: Calibri; mso-bidi-theme-font: minor-latin; mso-fareast-font-family: "Times New Roman";">Jeff Boudreau, notloB’s
chief cook and bottle washer, has had his eye on Fivesparks for some time and
actually had two concerts planned but first a construction delay then a completion
delay nixed both. "The first cancellation was particularly hard to
take", opines Boudreau, as it would have been a fabulous birthday present.
Fivesparks construction did not began until two months after the planned date.
The second had been planned for March, 2019.<br />

<span style="font-size: 12pt;">"But
now we're back with a trifecta", explains Boudreau. Rushad called just a
couple weeks ago, not knowing I had moved to Harvard in 2017, asking for a
"Boston gig". After establishing I was now 35 miles west of Inman
Square, he asked if we could do two gigs, one each in Cambridge and Harvard.
Having seen Rushad perform numerous times for children at the Rhythm and Roots
(Rhode Island) and Grey Fox Bluegrass (New York) festivals I came up with the
idea of two Harvard concerts, an afternoon children's and evening adult.
That is how things evolve when working with Rushad." Boudreau is hopeful
the Eggleston concert will be the first of a new curated acoustic music series
with old notloB friends, who include notable fiddlers Darol Anger, Brittany
Haas, Natalie Haas, Hanneke Cassel.

Oldtone Roots Music Festival features</span><span style="color: #222222; font-family: "times new roman" , serif; font-size: 10.5pt;"> three stages with traditional music performances, dances,
workshops, contests, and children’s activities. </span><span style="color: #222222; font-family: "times new roman" , serif; mso-fareast-font-family: "Times New Roman";">The
founders’ goal is to preserve American roots music and dance with an intimate
and interactive festival that includes opportunities to engage with main stage
artists in workshop settings. Jamming in the campground late into the night is
encouraged. In the evenings festival goers and artists dance under a tent that
perches over a spectacular view of the rolling upstate NY farm valley of Matt
and Lisa Schober’s Cool Whisper Farm. It is not unusual to find main stage
performers dancing in the dance tent or jamming late into the night in the
camping areas. Caleb Klauder of the Foghorn String Band has this to say about
Oldtone 19: “I’m going to the Oldtone Roots Music festival because their hearts
are in the music and the music there has soul.”</span><span style="color: #222222; font-family: "arial" , sans-serif; font-size: 12.0pt;"><o:p></o:p></span></div>

amongst Roots music festivals for its popularity with the artists themselves as

This musical play tells the remarkable story of a 19th century Boston Publisher and philanthropist, Daniel Sharp Ford, whose weekly periodical had the largest circulation of any periodical in the country at that time. Unlike his contemporary business titans of the Gilded Age, he didn't build mansions in Newport. Instead, he used his wealth to feed and clothe the poor, and to provide vocational training to enable them to support themselves during the tumultuous period between the Civil War and the end of the 19th century.<br />

<span style="color: #4c4c4c; line-height: 200%;"><span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">The name is an Old Scots word meaning a charm, magic spell or
piece of mischief and it aptly describes the unexpected twists and turns in
their musical arrangements, likewise the compelling potency of their
musicianship. Originally formed as a quartet, Cantrip sprung from a local
session in Edinburgh nearly twenty years ago. Their driving music immediately
caught the attention of the masses, and they were quickly signed to the Foot
Stompin' label. With their first album "Silver" (2001) in hand, Cantrip
made its way across the water to the United States, where they were received
with roars and shouts (of enjoyment). After years of significant touring, the
band parted ways with Foot Stompin' and began producing albums on their own.
Two albums later ("Boneshaker" in 2005 and "Piping the
Fish" in 2008), Cantrip had cemented itself as a perennial figure. After a
period of hiatus in which children were born and continents were left for new
ones, Cantrip redefined its sound. Trimming itself to a trio, the band tightened
its arrangements while expanding its influence. New inspirations began creeping
into the sound, complementing the traditional foundation of the band. This more
mature sound debuted on their recent release "The Crossing" (2016)
and has been catching the ear of listeners and concert goers all over again.
Now, in recognition of 20 years of performing the band is returning to its
roots and revisiting Silver, with a live re-release slated for Autumn 2018 that
looks to be as exciting and full of energy as ever.</span></span></div>

Dan was born in Ghana, but was transported to Scotland shortly
thereafter, where he was surrounded by the indigenous music. He began his
career with the whistle at age seven and started playing bagpipes in the early
nineties, proceeding to win the Scottish Lowland and Border Pipers' Society
Open Borderpipes and New Composition events (multiple times), as well as the
Maitre de Cornemuse at St. Chartier. Over the years he increased his versatility
as a multi-instrumentalist, becoming an accomplished player on the flute,
bouzouki and DADGAD guitar. In 2010, with the help of many friends (including
Jon Bews), Dan released his first solo recording entitled "The Long March
Home". He is an instructor at the Vermont Institute of Celtic Arts, and in
addition to Cantrip can be heard as a member of Parcel of Rogues, Prydien and
Salsa Celtica. Outside of music Dan holds a BSc Hons I degree in Applied
Mathematics and Geophysics from the University of Otago and an MLitt degree in
Gaelic Literature and Language from the University of Edinburgh.</div>

<span style="color: #4c4c4c; line-height: 200%;"><span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">A veteran of the fiddle, having started at age four, Jon came to
Scots music from a classical education by way of Goth rock. But it didn't take
long for him to entrench himself in the world and carve a name for himself as a
fiddler. A prizewinning graduate of the Royal Conservatoire of Scotland in
1994, he has performed and recorded with such diverse artists as Malinky, James
Yorkston, Mikel Urdangarin, Ranarim, Deaf Mutes and Samling. In addition to
Cantrip, he currently plays with Edinburgh based bands Urvanovic, OBT and
League of Regrettable Superheroes. Jon is also widely recognised as a composer
and arranger. His string arrangements have been sought out by Ewan MacPherson
and Fribo and his tunes have won high acclaim across the board. Jon moved to
the Scottish Borders in 2003 where he spent two years as Traditional and World
Music Development Worker for Scottish Borders Council. He stayed there because
the view is nice and only moved back to Edinburgh because the shops are open
later.<o:p></o:p></span></span></div>

the rich local music scene in his hometown Boston. Nearly a decade after
studying at Berklee College of Music under world renowned musicians such as
guitarist/mandolinist John McGann and cellist Eugene Friesene, he is now
established as one of the USA's premier accompanists in many styles. Eric cut
his teeth playing for contra dances in New England, and can still often be seen
from the dance floor. Nowadays he is an active session player, regularly
recording and traveling with musicians of many stripes. Touring credits include
The Outside Track, Chris Norman Ensemble, Andrea Beaton, Wendy MacIsaac and
Katie McNally. In addition to Cantrip, he can currently be seen touring with
traditional Irish music trio Daymark, Scottish fiddle champion Ryan McKasson
and award winning singer/songwriter Connor Garvey. In addition to guitar
accompaniment, Eric's debut solo album "Rove" features his unique
style and approach to tunes on the mandolin, as well as carefully crafted
deliveries of traditional ballads on voice and guitar.<o:p></o:p></span></span></div>

Emilie grew </span><span class="text_exposed_show" style="background-color: white; color: #4b4f56; display: inline;">up through various fiddle camps in her community in Northern California and flourished with guidance and inspiration from instructors. In combining their unique experiences that they hold very close to their hearts, Emilie and Casey are able to channel their emotional and musical sensitivity into energetic, heartfelt music.<br /><br /><b>JORDAN & JORDAN</b><br />Minnie and Ella Jordan have been playing music together for more than a decade—starting on violin, over the years they have added vocals, guitar and tenor guitar to their repertoire. They are fluent in the Jazz, Swing, Western Swing, Country, Bluegrass and Classical idioms. They have been performing publicly for many years, and play upwards of 50 gigs a year. Both are currently studying at Berklee College of Music on scholarship. Scholarships have enabled them to study eclectic string styles at numerous camps, including the Randy Elmore Fiddle Camp, Christian Howes’ Creative Strings Workshop, Dave Alexander’s Big Texas Swing Camp, Berklee Global String Intensive, and the Berklee Roots Weekend. They have been able to study privately with legendary fiddle players Billy Contreras, Mike Barnett, and Buddy Spicher, and with jazz violin master Christian Howes. They were the winners of the 2010 Old Settlers Music Festival Youth competition, and have been featured performers on SUN and KOOP radio in Austin. They were especially honored to have been the 2014 recipients of the Daniel Pearl Memorial violins. They have appeared in print in Texas Monthly, Huffington Post, the Austin Chronicle, and most recently, on the cover of Texas Polka News!</span></span><br />

An involved member of the Boston alt-bluegrass scene, his path has wended its way through traditional bluegrass, to Bach partitas, to free jazz, and his debut full-length album is made up of original tunes drawing from all these wells. The album was conceived and crafted as a whole; the tunes were written for the band, who were chosen for the tunes. To write the album, he dove deep </span><span class="text_exposed_show" style="color: #4b4f56; display: inline;">into the compositional techniques and tunes of some of the pioneers of the current wave of bluegrass: Bela Fleck, Matt Flinner, David Grisman and Mike Marshall, to name a few. After months of writing, discarding, and editing, a body of tunes emerged as clear candidates for a record. Over several years, the community around Ethan in the Northeast and Midwest evolved into the perfect band for a project such as this. The band features Julian Pinelli and Avery Merritt on fiddles, Sam Leslie on guitar, and Jacob Warren playing bass. Skilled engineer and mandolinist Dan Bui of Twisted Pine engineered and mixed the album. The recording process took place at the Record Company in Boston, and the resulting album contains close friends and bandmates, a batch of carefully crafted tunes, and the freshest grooves in bluegrass. He has shared the stage with Julian Lage, Darrell Scott, Bryan Sutton, Mike Marshall, Tony Trischka, Darol Anger, Casey Driessen, the Steel Wheels, Don Stiernberg, Matt Flinner, and Jacob Jolliff, and has performed at venues such as Savannah Music Festival, IBMA’s Wide Open Bluegrass Streetfest, Prairie Home Companion, the Walnut Valley Festival, the Grey Fox Bluegrass Festival, Freshgrass, the Joe Val Bluegrass Festival, the Red Wing Roots Music Festival, and Club Passim. He’s a member of bands Theory Expats, The Leafless, Corner House, The Harmolodic String Band, and OctoPladd (notloB Music concert #182, 3/23/16).<br /><br /><b>MINNIE JORDAN</b> is a talented cross-genre violinist currently splitting her time between Massachusetts and Texas. Although violin is her primary instrument, she is also a skilled vocalist, mandolinist, and tenor guitar player.<br /><br />Growing up on a ranch in rural Texas, Minnie was immersed in the sounds of Western Swing and Texas fiddle. She began playing publically at age 9 in a duo with her younger sister, Ella. The two busked and played Texas Oprys, honing their chops and ultimately winning the youth talent competition at the renowned Old Settlers Music Festival, where they showcased in 2011. In 2014 Minnie was awarded use of the Daniel Pearl Memorial Violin, made by Jonathan Cooper, and awarded at the Mark O’Connor String Conference.<br /><br />Minnie continues to perform at festivals and other venues in both the Boston area and central Texas. She has also worked as a session musician, and recorded the theme song for the NYC Employees Deferred Compensation ad series. She has performed on festival stages at FreshGrass, MEOWcon, and the Texas Music Jamboree.<br /><br />Minnie has actively sought to expand her musical horizons by studying with some of music’s most gifted contemporary teachers and players, including Billy Contreras, Christian Howes, John Patitucci, Danilo Perez, and Buddy Spicher, among others.

<span style="font-family: inherit;"><i><span style="color: #222222;">Solo Square Dance</span></i><span style="color: #222222;"> is a one-person percussive dance show created and performed by Nic Gareiss commemorating the 80th anniversary of the Irish Dance Halls Act which banned citizens from dancing in homes. The show features new pieces inspired by this and other such dance bans, including the Elmore City, OK dancing ban that inspired the film <i>Footloose</i> and the most recently lifted dancing ban in Pound, VA (only lifted in 1999!) which required that dancing permits </span><span style="color: #252525;">not be granted "to anyone who is not a proper person, nor to a person who is not a person of good moral character". The 60-minute show, set in houses, explores the dialectic of public/private life and probes the subversive power of dancing+sounding bodies, recasting percussive dance as a vehicle of liberation and social transformation. </span><span style="color: #222222;"><o:p></o:p></span></span></div>

<span style="font-family: inherit;"><span style="color: #222222;">Michigan-born dancer Nic Gareiss has been described by the Irish Times as “the human epitome of the unbearable lightness of being,” and "the most inventive and expressive step dancer on the scene” by the Boston Herald. His work re-imagines movement as a musical practice, recasting dance as medium that appeals to both eyes and ears. Gareiss draws from many percussive dance traditions, weaving together a dance technique facilitating his love of improvisation, traditional dance footwork vocabulary, and musical collaboration. He has concertized internationally for over ten years with many of the luminaries of traditional music, including Frankie Gavin, Dervish, Bill Frisell, Darol Anger, Bruce Molsky, Phil Wiggins, Buille, Solas, Liz Carroll, Martin Hayes, The Gloaming and The Chieftains. Nic holds a degree in Anthropology from Central Michigan University and a MA in Ethnochoreology from the University of Limerick. Gareiss' essay, "<i>An Buachaillín Bán</i>: Reflections on One Queer's Performance within Traditional Irish Music & Dance" appears in the book <i>Meanings and Makings of Queer Dance</i> edited by Clare Croft on Oxford University Press<i>. </i></span><a href="http://www.nicgareiss.com/" target="_blank"><span style="color: #1155cc;">www.nicgareiss.com</span></a><span style="color: #222222;"><o:p></o:p></span></span></div>

<span style="font-family: inherit;"><span style="background-color: white; color: #4b4f56;">Darol Anger on his holiday show: “We think that the midwinter season has always been a highly emotional and special time for human beings, and we mean to celebrate in music the many layers of spirituality and celebration that has always happened around this time. Emy's a genius at finding songs that elevate peoples' spirits, and</span><span class="text_exposed_show" style="background-color: white; color: #4b4f56; display: inline;"> her long career working with children has helped her hone her talent. We’ll bring some amazingly talented younger musicians that our audience will love. Our band is not afraid to tap deep emotions, whether they be humor, love, or wassailin’.”<br /><br />"Emy & I take our job very seriously in any time of year, but especially now. Any serious entertainer needs to consider their role as a healer of some sort. Music has served this very purpose since it began thousands of years ago, and that hasn’t changed, no matter how many notes and chords we add in there. This is the time of year when everything seems to have died and we have to trust that everything will rise again. For most humans, this seems to be a time for reflection, for spiritual questioning and renewal, family, and celebration or mourning of what we have gained and lost throughout the previous year-or years.<br /><br />"We believe that what people mostly could use right now is to be together in a positive environment which encourages sharing. This year, all Americans have had real setbacks and fractious difficulties and it seems certain that things will get worse next year. Everyone- and I mean everyone- will need spiritual strength for the challenges that are rising. We’re going to support that frame of mind in our concert, with some really beautiful songs from all traditions, and we’re going to encourage a lot of singing along."<br /><br />notloB Music could not agree more.
