SUMMARY:Brittany Haas and Nic Gareiss
DESCRIPTION:March 7th – Brittany Haas & Nic Gareiss — Fiddle Fire Meets Per­cussive Dance \nBrittany Haas is widely regarded as one of the most influential fiddlers of her generation. Raised in Northern California and steeped in string camps from an early age\, she shaped her signature sound under the mentorship of Bruce Molsky and Darol Anger. By fourteen she was touring with Anger’s Republic of Strings\, and at seventeen released her self-titled debut album. \nWhile earning a degree in Evolutionary Biology at Princeton\, Haas joined the groundbreaking band Crooked Still\, launching a career that has since taken her to stages from Late Night with David Letterman and Saturday Night Live with Steve Martin’s bluegrass band to recordings with Béla Fleck\, Vince Gill\, Abigail Washburn\, Tony Trischka\, Yonder Mountain String Band\, and many more. She is the newest member of the Grammy-winning Punch Brothers\, has toured with Dave Rawlings Machine\, and in 2023 released the long-awaited duo album HAAS with her cellist sister Natalie. Named Americana Music Association Instrumentalist of the Year in 2020\, Brittany continues to inspire the next generation through her electrifying performances and teaching. \nOne of Dance Magazine’s “25 to Watch\,” Nic Gareiss is a singular voice in percussive dance\, blending traditions from Ireland\, Canada\, and Appalachia into a thrilling\, deeply musical style. Growing up surrounded by fiddlers\, banjo players\, and balladeers at Midwest folk festivals\, Nic developed an approach rooted in clog\, flatfoot\, and step dance — rich in improvisation and intimate musical collaboration. \nGareiss has performed in seventeen countries with artists including Yasmin Williams\, Bruce Molsky\, The Chieftains\, Colin Dunne\, Darol Anger\, The Gloaming\, Jake Blount\, Liz Carroll\, Phil Wiggins\, and Sandy Silva\, with appearances at the Barbican Centre\, Irish National Concert Hall\, Munich Philharmonic\, Brooklyn Academy of Music\, and Cork Opera House. He holds a master’s degree in Ethnochoreology from the University of Limerick\, received the 2020 Michigan Heritage Award — the state’s highest honor for traditional artists — and in 2022 released a visual album with banjoist Allison de Groot that landed on NPR’s Best Roots Music of the Year list. \nTogether\, Brittany Haas and Nic Gareiss create a spellbinding dialogue between bow and foot — a rare\, intimate convergence of virtuosic fiddle and explosive percussive dance\, perfectly at home in the listening-room magic of the G.A.R. Hall. \nGeneral Admission – 27.00\nJoin us in the bar area before the show at 7pm\nConcert Hall doors open at 7:30pm\nMusic at 8pm

SUMMARY:Cajun Country Revival - This event is SOLD OUT!
DESCRIPTION:March 20th – Cajun Country Revival\nCajun Country Revival is a gathering of kindred musical spirits from different backgrounds\, united by a deep love of American roots music—and its power to bring people together. Blending ancient folk traditions rooted in Appalachia and French Louisiana with classic country music and original songs born from these styles\, the Revival are true keepers of the old flame\, finding fresh ways to make it burn brighter and hotter than ever. \nFormed in the early 2010s by Joel Savoy\, Jesse Legé\, and members of the Foghorn Stringband\, the current incarnation of this roots-music supergroup welcomes Savoy’s hometown friend and longtime collaborator Linzay Young. Young brings a Prairie Cajun twin-fiddle edge to the sound\, along with versatile vocals that range from soulful Cajun laments to country-style crooning. \nAt the heart of the band is dancehall veteran Jesse Legé\, a charismatic ambassador of Cajun music whose masterful accordion playing and powerful singing have made him one of the most sought-after artists in the tradition. Born near Gueydan\, Louisiana\, in Vermilion Parish—the “Duck Capital of the World”—Legé spoke Cajun French as his first language and has been making music for nearly six decades. An elder statesman of the genre\, he brings both deep authenticity and youthful exuberance to every performance. \nJoel Savoy and Linzay Young have been making music together since their early teens. Steeped in Cajun culture and hailing from Eunice\, Louisiana\, this dynamic duo has traveled the world sharing their heritage through music\, food\, and storytelling. As founders and frontmen of the Red Stick Ramblers\, they helped spark a cultural renaissance in Acadiana in the early 2000s—one that drew attention from figures like Anthony Bourdain and HBO’s Tremé\, and inspired a renewed focus on traditional boucheries\, courirs de Mardi Gras\, music festivals\, and food-centered celebrations. \nJoining the ensemble are Nadine Landry and Sammy Lind\, passionate torchbearers of traditional fiddle music passed down through generations—from southwest Louisiana Cajun dance halls to songs that might have once spun on a 1950s honky-tonk jukebox. Based in eastern Quebec\, they tour internationally as a duo and with Cajun Country Revival and the Foghorn Stringband. \nWhether performing in an intimate concert setting or igniting a lively dance floor\, Cajun Country Revival delivers a joyous\, deeply rooted blend of North American traditional music\, vivid storytelling\, and infectious energy—each performance feeling like a lantern-lit house dance on the prairies of southwest Louisiana. \nGeneral Admission : 27.00\nJoin us in our bar area before the show at 7pm\nConcert Hall doors open at 7:30\nMusic at 8pm
