SOLD OUT

Having performed with her parents and acclaimed fiddlers Natalie MacMaster and Donnell Leahy for over 600 shows, genre-defying fiddling (and piano) sensation Mary Frances Leahy is branching out with her fantastic debut solo album First Light. The innovative, eclectic nine-track collection of originals, co-produced by Mary Frances and Cuban guitarist Elmer Ferrer, is an amazing blending of Celtic, Latin, and Jazz influences. "It's a bunch of styles you wouldn't think go well together," the 19-year Canadian phenom from the hamlet of Douro, Ontario says. "But once you hear it, you're like, 'Oh my gosh, I get it!' My sound is energetic. It makes me want to dance!"

Rob writes and performs his original folk and blues, (11 albums deep and counting) plays in a duo, Sussex and in a band. This show will be a little different in another way. Rob is a bit of a music historian. His background in journalism met his love of music and led him down some twisty turny musical rabbit holes. This has resulted in a one-man show where he offers his own music plus a selection of music from the 18th, 19th and 20th centuries. These are pieces that your ear will recognize but you likely don't know much about them.
