Aidan leads a song at our annual New Year’s Eve concert in Brattleboro, VT

News

Our year ended on a beautiful note at our annual New Year’s Eve concert here in Brattleboro. Becky and I were filled with pride and joy at having our son, Aidan join us for several pieces including a song that he led (video below). I am doing a series of my solo shows this month, a couple in New England and a couple in the North West, which I am excited about. I’ll be returning to the Anchorage Folk Festival with Hanneke Cassel, the great fiddler from Boston. Becky and I are gearing up for our big one day festival that we run with many of our local musical friends – the Northern Roots Festival. If you live in the North East, it is a great day for fans of traditional music. Check it out here – http://bmcvt.org/northernroots We are back to St Croix with Wild Asparagus in February, for the Tropical Dance Vacation. It makes it worth taking up contra dancing, if you haven’t already.

All for now – Keith
