The Good Folk
The Good Folk deliver powerful instrumentals, haunting vocals and three styles of percussive dance. Rooted in the beloved traditional music of Ireland and America, these artists explore familiar tunes and ballads as well as original compositions with respect, intentionality, and innovative interpretation.
Offering thoughtful phrasing, delightful ornamentation, and emotive accompaniment, The Good Folk is one of the East coast’s most exciting collaborations bringing audiences a unique and delightful sound with each performance.
The Mount Clare Connection
The Mount Clare Connection plays Irish traditional music in a regional style from Maryland. At its core is an expansive duet between the button accordion (Peter Brice) and the fiddle (Joanna Clare), supported by rich accompaniment on the guitar (Richard Osban).
The trio’s music traces legacies of Irish culture along the shores of the Chesapeake Bay, and invests renewed and newly-composed melodies into the tapestry of Irish traditional music in America.
