The Mattapoisett Museum at 5 Church Street invites one and all to A Celtic Concert with the Vox Hunters that will be held from 3:00 pm to 5:00 pm on March 15.
Hailing from the great state of Rhode Island, Armand Aromin and Benedict Gagliardi are musically bound by a shared love of traditional Irish music, which originally brought them together. With a banjo, concertinas, a hand-crafted fiddle, and a pair of complementary voices, The Vox Hunters present an exciting repertoire of driving dance tunes blended with an unorthodox collection of interesting songs and musical variety.
The Vox Hunters’ search for good songs – “We don’t aim to fuse genres, push boundaries, or redefine ‘folk music’ — we simply sing songs we like to sing in exactly the way we like to sing them. Our influences and inspirations are voices in the English, American, and Irish folk music realm, but we allow our ears a long musical leash.”
As seekers and singers of old songs, cultivators of local music, and chronic multi-instrumentalists, Aromin and Gagliardi are sure to please. They are touted as strong tradition-bearers in their generation, and their genuine affinity for the music is evident in the emotion they draw from it.
Please register at mattapoisettmuseum.org/events. Cost for Museum members is $18.00 per person; $20.00 per person for non-members.
