PUTNEY, Vt. – Next Stage Arts Project and Twilight Music present an evening of traditional Irish, Scottish, English, and American folk music by Dublin-based duo Ye Vagabonds and New England fiddler and singer Lissa Schneckenburger on Friday, April 1 at 7:30 p.m.
Ye Vagabonds – brothers Brían and Diarmuid Mac Gloinn – are a staple of the vibrant and innovative live music and session scene in Ireland. Influenced by Irish traditional music, Appalachian singing, and the 1960s folk revival, they feature original songs as well as folk songs from the British Isles and U.S.
Inspired by her parent’s interest in folk music, Lissa Schneckenburger began playing fiddle at the age of six. In 2001, she graduated from the New England Conservatory of Music with a degree in Contemporary Improvisation, and has been performing and teaching music around the world ever since. Lissa is currently one-third of the Brattleboro-based folk trio Low Lily.
