Mark your calendars! Rani Arbo and Greg Ryan will be performing at the Old Meeting House in East Montpelier on Saturday, Oct 21, 7:00 p.m. Rani and Greg provide a soulful original, traditional, and cover songs on fiddle, guitar & gourd banjo.
Rani Arbo is a fiddler, guitarist, songwriter and song collector. She has toured nationally for more than 25 years, with Salamander Crossing, John McCutcheon, Joan Baez, Mark Erelli, Brooks Williams, and others; for the last 15 years she has led Rani Arbo & daisy mayhem, an Americana quartet that has released five CDs on Signature Sounds and tours folk festivals and performing arts centers from coast to coast. Acoustic Guitar Magazinewrites, “Arbo is blessed with an unmistakable voice, both light and sultry, with a hint of tremolo and smoke.” Together with Ryan’s rich, gravelly singing and emotive, powerful guitar, the duo swings from subtle fingerstyle to high-octane swing, to fiddle-driven, high-speed songs of love and loss.
Greg Ryan is an accomplished musician and performer. Hailing from southern Vermont, Ryan toured for years as a singer/songwriter before forming the modern gypsy jazz group They Might Be Gypsies with his son Aidan. Their two recordings received rave reviews, with their debut album winning the Vermont Times Argus' Instrumental Album Of The Year. In addition to playing with They Might Be Gypsies, Greg performs with the gypsy jazz group The Queen City Hot Club.
The concert is sponsored by the Old Meetinghouse Arts Ministry. The address is 1620 Center Road, East Montpelier, VT.
