Atwater-Donnelly Band

A special Sunday afternoon with Atwater-Donnelly at Lily Pads!

The award-winning Atwater-Donnelly Band performs a unique

and thrilling blend of traditional American and Celtic folk music

and percussive dance. Rhode Islanders Elwood Donnelly, Aubrey

Atwater, Cathy Clasper-Torch, and Kevin Doyle blend gorgeous

and unusual vocals and play guitar, Appalachian mountain dulcimer,

violin, cello, mandolin, tin whistle, harmonica, banjo, bones, spoons,

limberjacks, djembe (African drum), and other surprises including

Appalachian clog dancing, Irish step-dance, French Canadian

footwork, and American Tap Dance.

The performance is appealing to all ages and with a relaxed and

hilarious stage presence, Aubrey, Elwood, Cathy, and Kevin explain

song, instrument, and dance origins to give more relevance to the

material. Separately and together, these four performers have

won numerous awards and produced many CDs, books, and videos

which will be available at the performance. They have performed

throughout the United States and beyond and their recordings

receive international airplay. Join these four on a joyous foray

into the old folk traditions and enjoy the comedic chemistry of

good friends. To learn more, visit www.atwater-donnelly.com
