The Fretless, with Nathan Gourley, Laura Feddersen and John Coyne
The Fretless is a truly unique band taking string music to fascinating places as it transforms fiddle tunes and folk melodies into intricate, beautiful, high-energy arrangements.
Initially David Munnelly and Phil Mazure were scheduled to be part of this evening. Unfortunately, they have had to cancel but we have been lucky to add back in Nathan Gourley, Laura Feddersen and John Coyne. Boston based Irish fiddlers Laura and Nathan have developed a signature style of twin fiddling, moving easily from taut unison to chordal harmonies and divergent variations. Limerick native John Coyne will add intricate counter melodies and driving rhythm on the greek bouzouki. A great night of trad and contemporary on tap.
The Burren Backroom series is now well established as one of the most sought-after boutique series of trad presentation in the world. It has already created already dozens of memorable, intimate, informal presentations held in a truly atmospheric space which was founded by well-known traditional musicians Tommy McCarthy and Louise Costello in Davis Square, Somerville, Massachusetts.
Hosted by Brian O'Donovan of A Celtic Sojourn on WGBH radio, these gatherings feature core performers from many aspects of traditional music as well as special guests, and conversations around the music. As is the custom of the Burren, it is anticipated informal and dynamic post concert sessions will be a feature.
Tickets are $23 in advance, with a $5 discount for WGBH Members. If you are a member, send an e-mail to celtic@wgbh.org and we will send you the code.
