In association with The Fallen Angels Club

With their gorgeous three-part vocals, potent original songwriting and artful acoustic instrumentation, Winnipeg’s The Wailin’ Jennys have enjoyed a meteoric rise through the folk/roots ranks since they formed in 2002.

After rave reviews for 2004’s debut album 40 Days, today’s line-up of soprano Ruth Moody (guitar, banjo, accordion, bodhran), mezzo Nicky Mehta (guitar, harmonica, percussion) and alto Annabelle Chvostek (fiddle, mandolin, guitar) followed up to still greater acclaim with last year’s Firecracker.

Bruce Molsky has been exploring traditional music from an astonishingly broad range of cultures over the past two decades from his old-time American first love, to Appalachia, and more recently to Ireland and Eastern Europe as a member of Irvine and Lunny’s Mozaik. He turns his attentions to Highland Scotland in the company of Mary Ann Kennedy, founder of the ‘Gaelic supergroup’, Cliar. Together they delight in common ground and musical tangents alike, shedding new light on familiar territory and re-uniting distant musical cousins.
