The ingredients of Kyle Carey's music include the songs of the American Folk Anthology, the Appalachian poetry of Louise McNeill, and the traditional music of Cape Breton, Scotland, and Ireland. The results are well described by Kerry Dexter of 'Music Road': "It is Kyle Carey's poetic take on story, landscape, emotion, and language which center things, and her engaging storyteller's way of singing that opens the door to her stories. Gospel twined with Celtic notes, banjo leading into Scottish Gaelic, miner's stories, traveler's tales of loss, change, and recognition, Monongah is a varied journey, one worth the taking."
Kyle will be joined by Boston-based fiddler and guitarist Katie McNally and Eric McDonald. Katie McNally has grown up steeped in fiddle music. She is a former New England Scottish fiddle champion and a two time runner-up for the national title. She regularly performs in the fiddle super-group Childsplay, along with some of the nation's finest acoustic musicians. Eric is known for his tasteful playing on both the mandolin and guitar. He is an in-demand accompanist who tours regularly with the Scottish/American band Cantrip and New England fiddler Brendan Carey-Block.
Together they will bring you both original and traditional songs, a unique blend of Ireland, Scotland and Appalachia at Deb's House Concert series September 8th at 7pm. Pot luck 6pm. Reservations at 603-827-2905 or deb@pfmsconcerts.org. Reserve early as these often sell out.
