Talk about musicians having currency. These two are in serious demand for the musicality and also for their talents as artistic/musical directors. Maeve is the Assistant Music Director for A Christmas Celtic Sojourn, and Keith has been music director for our St. Patrick's Day series for the past five years.
Harp, vocals, Scotland, Ireland, guitar, mandolin, Newfoundland, Vermont, Cape Breton, Richard Thompson, original tunes, Quebecois, Acadian, percussion... all come to mind when I think of each of these folks. Together, well the sky is the limit, but I do know that this is one of the shows I am most excited about this Fall. Take a listen to the two tracks below...
