Fiddle: Alden Robinson, Portland, Maine » Performances http://www.aldenrobinson.net Fiddle music in the Maine tradition Wed, 26 Aug 2009 20:07:09 +0000 http://wordpress.org/?v=2.9.1 en hourly 1 ROCK city! http://www.aldenrobinson.net/2009/08/rock-city/ http://www.aldenrobinson.net/2009/08/rock-city/#comments Wed, 19 Aug 2009 13:16:54 +0000 Alden http://www.aldenrobinson.net/?p=51 I’m delighted to announce an extremely cool little concert up Rock City Books and Coffee in Rockland, Maine. Christian “Junior” Stevens (accordion), Owen Marshall (guitar), and I will be playing THIS Friday, August 21st, at 7pm. It’s a free show, donations welcome. Maybe you’ve heard me and Junior play together, or Junior and Owen play together, or me and Owen play together, but I guarantee you’ve never heard the three of us together at the same time (because this is the first time we’ve done it). Let’s change that! These guys are as good as it gets for traditional music in New England and it’s always a treat to play with them.

Here is a map of Rockland with Rock City shown on it:

Here’s a very dim picture of Junior and me playing last week in NYC. We will be easier to see on Friday.

These will be traditional, unaccompanied pipes-and-fiddle duets, with both D and C uillean pipes and several different fiddle tunings. Weird and wonderful.

July 24: Rock City Books and Coffee, Rockland, Maine. One of the coolest music venues east of Portland, Rock City (formerly the Second Read) also has a great selection of coffee (which they roast themselves) and food, as well as a fantastic collection of used books. Concert begins at 7:30; admission by pass-the-hat donation. More info from the website.
