CABOT ARTS (in co-operation with the Cabot Community Association) presents CANTRIP, bringing the driving melodies of Scotland to CABOT TOWN HALL (Willey Building), 3084 Main Street on THURSDAY, APRIL 26 at 7:00 PM. Their name is an Old Scots word meaning a charm, magic spell or piece of mischief, and it aptly describes the unexpected twists and turns in CANTRIP'S musical arrangements and the compelling potency of their musicianship. Originally formed as a quartet, CANTRIP began at a session in Edinburgh nearly twenty years ago. With their first album "Silver" (2001) in hand, CANTRIP made its way across the water to the United States; after years of touring and two albums later ("Boneshaker" in 2005 and "Piping the Fish" in 2008), the band had established itself as a star in the Celtic music firmament. Later, CANTRIP trimmed itself to a trio, tightened its arrangements and expanded its influence. This more mature sound debuted on their recent release "The Crossing" (2016) and now, in recognition of 20 years of performing, the band is returning to its roots and revisiting "Silver," with a live re-release slated for Autumn 2018. Jon Bews on fiddle, Dan Houghton on pipes and strings and Eric McDonald on guitar. ADMISSION BY DONATION AT THE DOOR, with all proceeds to the artists. Bring food to share if you like, beverages on sale courtesy of The Den at Harry's Hardware.
