House Concert with Keith Murphy and Yann Falquet

Thursday, June 12th, doors open at 7, concert begins at 7:30pm

Keith Murphy and Yann Falquet are masters of contemporary Celtic guitar representing the compelling textures, harmonies and rhythms that the guitar has brought to traditional songs and instrumentals since the Celtic music revival in the 1970s. Mandolin, mandola and octave mandolin bring an even wider range to their arrangements. 

As singers, they bring a rich blending of the Franco and Anglo song traditions. Falquet comes with a wealth of songs from the French-Canadian tradition. He is probably best known for his work with the Quebecois trio, Genticorum, with whom he has been a driving force since the group’s inception.  Murphy is a highly respected traditional singer and brings a song repertoire filled with gems from his native Newfoundland as well as Quebec and his current home, Vermont. He was a founding member of the groundbreaking trio, Nightingale. Between them they have many dozens of recording credits including recent solo recordings from each - Keith’s ‘Bright As Amber’ was released in 2023 and Yann’s ‘Les secrets du ciel’ came out in 2024. 

The venue is a home where a music loving cat is also in residence. There are nine steps down from the street to the house.
