              Keith Murphy & Yann Falquet: Nor'easter songs & tunes
                                       Sunday, Nov 9  7:30 PM

   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.  As a duo, Keith and Yann are

bringing the folk music of Québec and Newfoundland together, on guitars, mandola and

mandolin. As singers, they bring a rich blending of the Franco and Anglo song traditions.

Yann comes with a wealth of songs from the French-Canadian tradition, and Keith brings a

deep background in the songs of Newfoundland.

   A native of Newfoundland, Keith Murphy performs a traditional song repertoire drawn from

Eastern Canada and Quebec as well as from his current home, Vermont. His direct and intimate

style of traditional singing in English and French infuses old ballads and songs with a powerful

immediacy, and his guitar playing adds driving, percussive power.  He was a founding member

of the groundbreaking trio, Nightingale. 

   Yann Falquet is a dynamic guitarist in the world of Québécois traditional music, and his

beautiful voice brings Québécois song to life poignantly, and joyfully. He is best known for his

work with the Quebecois trio, Genticorum, with whom he has been a driving force since the

group’s inception.
