Roots Music Stomp – Twelfth Night
UNITED Gallery Events Space
Come celebrate Roots Music Stomp: Twelfth Night on actual Twelfth Night! The event is hosted by Craig Edwards, multi-instrumentalist, singer, performer and teacher of traditional music for over half a century. Craig teaches fiddle, guitar, banjo, mandolin, tinwhistle, button accordion and more at the United Theatre Music School.
Guests are The Vox Hunters (Armand Aromin, Benedict Gagliardi, and Flannery Brown) of Providence and AJ Wright, veteran folk performer and staff musician at Mystic Seaport.
Join us for an evening of seasonal traditional music, dance, and mumming ancient and more recent. These guests bring a sleigh-load of talent, playing fiddle, cello, concertina, ukulele, foot percussion, and more. They are shining lights of the traditional music community in the northeast, featured at many concerts, festivals, and music camps and beloved for their harmonies and shenanigans.
