House Concert: Keith Murphy and Becky Tracy

Past event
May 10, 2019, 6:30 PM

We are so happy to welcome back the duo who played for our first ever house concert!
Keith and Becky have been making their beautiful blend of traditional songs and instrumentals for close to 30 years. Their sound is unmistakeable. Becky's fiddling, steeped in the music of Ireland and Quebec has been a defining presence in the New England dance scene and she has influenced a generation of players. Keith is a highly respected traditional singer and his songs include ballads from his native Newfoundland as well as songs from French Canada and New England. Along with his foot percussion, his guitar and piano playing have an inimitable drive. Keith's original instrumentals have been featured in Ken Burns documentaries and some of have become standards in the contra dance repertoire around the country. Keith and Becky each have a host of other projects, working in other combinations large and small. But the power and intimacy of their duo show is a treasure.

This concert features some music from Keith's last solo CD, Land of Fish and Seals (2018) as well as more recent instrumental compositions.

The concert starts at 7:30, with an optional potluck dinner at 6:30 pm. Reservations are requested as space is limited. Suggested donation to the musicians is $15. For more information or to make a reservation please contact Tracy Loysen at 223-1234 or taloysen@aol.com.
