Hanneke Cassel Long Winter's Night Concert

In this episode, I speak with Hanneke Cassel who is returning to Peaks Island for the Long Winter's Night Concert Series with Keith Murphy. Hanneke talks about what you can expect to hear at the concert, how she got into fiddle music, and how people looking to add playing an instrument into their lives can get started. With a career spanning over two decades, Hanneke Cassel has helped redefine what it means to be a modern fiddler. A driving force in the ever-changing landscape of acoustic music stylings, the Port Orford, Oregon native has established herself as a prolific composer, producer and fixture of the international music community...Described by the Boston Globe as “exuberant and rhythmic, somehow wild and innocent, [music] delivered with captivating melodic clarity and an irresistible playfulness,” it is Hanneke’s hugely generous presence and personality that round out her magnetism as a performer beyond the strings of her fiddle.

Evie Ladin Discusses Upcoming Concert On Peaks

Today I’m pleased to be joined by Evie Ladin, world-class banjo player and musician. Evie’s coming to Peaks on March 29th as part of the Long Winter’s Night Concert Series at the New Brackett Church at 7pm. In this interview, we talk about Evie’s roots in music and movement and what folks can expect to hear at her performance. For details about Evie's latest album, check out evieladin.com I also want to update you on the results of the Spring Hop. If you went to the Hop, or listened to the last interview with Danielle and Sage, you know that they were raising funds for a community art event. Well, the Hop brought in approximately $750 - enough to host an Invitational Group Show at The Crow’s Nest and Gathering Space. There are already 12 confirmed artists for the group show. It will run Friday May 24th starting with a reception that evening, and will be available weekends through Sunday June 2nd including Memorial Day hours on May 27th. Congrats to Danielle and Sage, and to everyone who participated in the fun night of dance. Hopefully there will be others to look forward to in the future! --- Support this podcast: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/peaksislandradio/support
