The Gillespie County Historical Society presents
Roots Music in the
Celtic Old World Roots Concert occurs Saturday, June 30, 2007
Gates open at 5 p.m. The concert begins at 6 p.m. and goes until 10 p.m.
Performers Include:
Poor Man’s Fortune
Poor Man’s Fortune plays new and old music from around the world, blending jigs and polkas, ballads and gavottes, and reels and schottishes. They use a similar cornucopia of instruments, ranging from bagpipes to flutes, fiddles to pennywhistles.
The Blaggards
The Blaggards are billed as playing "stout Irish rock." Theirs style is described as energetic, danceable, and fun - a new take on Irish and American standards. One fan called it "Irish music, but not Danny Boy."
Beth Patterson
This native of Lafayette, Louisiana is one of the top instrumentalists on the ten - stringed Irish bouzoukis, blending the styles of Celtic, Cajun, rock, jazz, blues, country, gospel, classical, Latin, and folk music.
