See the Future! Saturday Night Sampler
Tonight marks the triumphant homecoming of Kyle Carey, a 2008 graduate of Skidmore College who deepened her love of folk music while volunteering at Caffe Lena and participating in local Irish sessions. Kyle left Saratoga determined to develop her musical craft. She studied Celtic fiddle styles on a Fulbright scholarship in Cape Breton, learned Gaelic in Scotland, and attracted the support of some of the world's finest Celtic musicians. The result is her debut CD, Monogah, a collection of her Appalachian-inspired songs with a Celtic twist. Her lyrics are those of an accomplished poet with a love of history, and her gentle, clear singing relaxes into the songs with maturity and confidence. She is joined tonight by fiddler Rosie MacKenzie of the Cottars.
Hannah Sanders (The Dunns) from Old England, and Liz Simmons (The John Whelan Band, Annalivia, Long Time Courting) from New England, are the perfect show-mates for Kyle and Rosie. Their music draws from English and American traditions as well as old time, blues, and contemporary folk. This duo has a natural elegance and panache, both physical and melodic, that is captivating to behold in the live setting.
