Celtic Old-time Fusion!
Katie Wegner & Chuck Donnelly (www.katewegner.com) will be performing with their band on St. Patrick's Day, March 17th starting at 9:00 PM at 128 Free Street. Tip one up to the great St. Pat!! 207.774.1114.
Katie and Chuck record and perform high-energy original and traditional-style music. Their music taps into the traditions of Ireland and Cape Breton, where they have traveled and studied music together. They combine the Celtic music with influences of New England and Appalachia and their own musical sensibilities to form a new tradition that is at once familiar, and yet…. “different!” If you would like more information about Katie and Chuck feel free to call Chuck at 207.288.5196 or visit our web site at www.katewegner.com
