This Friday! Concert and dance with Matt and Shannon Heaton from Boston
The
husband-and-wife team of Matt and Shannon Heaton have honed their style in Irish
traditional sessions in Chicago, Boston and County Clare.
The Boston-based Heatons are statesiders, and they aren't afraid to let it show in their powerful playing. "We grew up listening to rock, country, American folk, classical and Irish music." Shannon says, "So when we're arranging and presenting songs, we're as likely to get ideas from the Pixies as from Planxty."
Shannon plays flute and whistles and is a very lovely singer; Matt backs her up perfectly with his nimble guitar playing.
"Matt and Shannon strip Irish music to its dazzling melodic essence without sacrificing any of its rhythmic impact. Although solidly rooted in Irish tradition, the group's repertoire betrays its familiarity with American jazz, blues, folk & country music." -The Berkshire Eagle, July 2003
Friday, October 12
Concert starts at 7:00 p.m.
at 8:00 we'll clear the floor for Irish ceili dancing, with music provided by the Heatons and local musicians. All dances are taught first. Beginners of all ages are most welcome.
Location: First Christian Church, 101 N Tenth St., Columbia MO (enter through the back door facing the parking lot and Ash St.) map
$5 admission for adults, kids 12 & under free
