The Clancy Legacy

Aoife Clancy and Robbie O'Connell performed wonderful Irish tunes at the Elysium Arts Folk Club in Rollinsford on January 16. Many in attendance joined in singing the choruses to some of the songs, while some of us were quite content to just watch and listen!

Lissa Schneckenburger at Elysium Arts Folk Club

Nearly a year ago we saw Lissa Schneckenburger for the first time at Elysium Arts Folk Club in Rollinsford, NH. She returned last Friday, and, happily, we were able to see her perform again. She is an amazing fiddler and singer. We'll undoubtedly go to see her again the next time she plays at Elysium.

Caroline Cotter at Elysium Arts Folk Club

Last evening we had the pleasure of seeing singer - songwriter Caroline Cotter play at the Elysium Arts Folk Club in Rollinsford, NH. Caroline writes about her extensive world travels, and personal and family relationships. Her beautiful voice nicely complements her image filled lyrics.

Salt River at Elysium Arts Folk Club

On April 17 we enjoyed a performance by Salt River, a nice little acoustic folk group which has mastered the art of harmonizing beautifully. They were joined by Taylor Whiteside on  fiddle for a few songs. Here are a few images from their show.

Dan Walker at the Elysium Arts Folk Club

We had the opportunity to hear Dan Walker play last night at the Elysium Arts Folk Club in Rollinsford, NH. These are a few images of Dan.

Project M

Monday night we went to see Project M, which is a quartet of bass players, with a style of music I didn't know existed. If you ever have the opportunity to see and hear the group or any of its members, don't miss it. The group consists of Michael Manring, Grant Stinnett, Jim Stinnett, and Rob Gourlay, with guest artists Everett Pendleton on guitar and Tom Arey on drums.

Burke and Surette

On January 31 we had the opportunity to see and hear some remarkable musicians, just downstairs from my studio, in the Elysium Arts Folk Club. Susie Burke, David Surette, and Brooks Williams entertained a full house of music fans with their masterful playing and singing. These are a few images from the show.
