Bold Riley
Friday, Jan. 25  7:30pm

Bold Riley is known for its soaring vocal harmonies and diverse instrumentation.  Members Dennis Boyd, Jr., Julia Edwards, John Gunn, Michael Hayashida, and Erin Sampson take turns singing lead on songs which range from classic folk favorites to unlikely covers and rousing originals. Fiddle, guitar, banjo, accordion, bass and an ever expanding list of percussion allow Bold Riley to provide a wide range of music to listeners.   Last year they enjoyed the acoustic treat of playing in Auburn UU’s resonant sanctuary, with Dave Rowe on sound. 

"Since Bold Riley's songs often reflect on aspects of the human experience, whether marriage or loss or joy,” says fiddler Michael Hayashida, "being able to perform in a church that holds such experiences holy is richly satisfying for the band." 

Tickets are $15 at the door (cash or credit.

The husband and wife team of Natalie Haas and Yann Falquet mix Québécois traditional songs and new takes on folk music from throughout Western Europe. Natalie Haas is the most sought-after cellist in Celtic music today. She and Scottish fiddler Alasdair Fraser have toured as a duo for nearly 20 years, wowing audiences worldwide. Haas has worked with artists like Cape Breton fiddler Natalie MacMaster; Irish greats Altan, Solas, and Liz Carroll; and Americana icon Dirk Powell. 

Montrealer Yann Falquet is a force in the Québécois music scene. He has recorded five albums and toured the world with French Canadian power trio Genticorum. Falquet’s unique style on acoustic guitar is rhythmically powerful yet subtly complex.

Maeve Gilchrist and Nic Gareiss made their duo debut at the Celtic Connections festival in Glasgow, Scotland. This pair combine the percussion and drive of Gareiss's footwork with Maeve's melodic and improvisational sensibilities. Michigan-born percussive dancer Nic Gareiss and Edinburgh harpist Maeve Gilchrist met while teaching at the Shasta Fiddle Summit. They later toured together as part of Darol Anger's band, The Furies.
