11 Dec 2010 [Sat] 8 pm WV Culture Center Some of the best and brightest of a new generation playing traditional Appalachian music, Old Sledge is a trio of young musicians who fiddle tunes and sing songs from the Virginia and West Virginia mountain communities where they make their home. Inspired by the rich traditions around them, they play old hymns and ballads full of joy and sorrow, along with rousing banjo and fiddle tunes from at all-night square dances that have been passed down, one generation to the next, to land at their feet. More info Eric Bibb
29 January 2011 [Sat] 8 pm WV Culture Center “If there’s a more inspiring, or inspired, acoustic blues artist than Eric Bibb working today, I’ve no idea who it might be.” -- Montreal Gazett Eric Bibb, already enjoying success in Europe, is becoming a familiar face – and voice – in the U.S. acoustic folk-blues scene. His unique talent continues to draw critical acclaim around the world. Twice nominated for the W.C. Handy Awards and winner of the “Best Newcomer” title in the British Blues Awards, Bibb has been appropriately described as “discreetly awesome” and “a total original.” More info The Battlefield Band
12 February 2011 [Sat] 8 pm WV Culture Center Inspired by their rich heritage of Celtic music and fired by the strength and vibrancy of today's Scottish cultural scene, which indeed they have done much to create and fuel, they have led, and been at the forefront, of a great revival in Scottish music. Refusing to be limited musically by suffocating antiquarianism, or the music business' fashions, they have mixed the old songs and music with a new self-penned repertoire, all played on a fusion of ancient and modern instruments - bagpipes, fiddle, synthesiser, guitar, flutes, bodhran and accordion. More info Clandestine
26 March 2011 [Sat] 8 pm WV Culture Center Clandestine is well-loved for their particular brand of Texas Celtic music. The band has toured the US extensively and had successful stints in Canada and France. Clandestine's current lineup features percussionist and singer Emily Dugas, fiddler Gregory McQueen, piper EJ Jones and a new member, Al Cofrin. Al adds his cittern, voice, and another set of bagpipes to the mix. Al and EJ are joining Emily on vocals, with many songs set in three-part harmony. More info |
