Northern Roots Traditional Music Festival in Brattleboro

"BRATTLEBORO -- The Brattleboro Music Center’s 4th annual Northern Roots Traditional Music Festival -- featuring more than 20 musicians playing music in the rich traditions of Ireland, Scotland, England, Sweden, New England and French Canada -- will be held throughout the day on Saturday, Jan. 29.

The highlights will be a daytime family concert and dance, and an evening jam session concert.

Each year the festival brings together local and regional musicians representing the best of various northern musical traditions. The festival also draws on the richness of talent in the broader region, with players from throughout New England coming to perform, teach and participate in informal sessions.

'The festival focuses on small ensembles and solo players whose talent brings us to the heart of the beauty of traditional music,' said festival director Keith Murphy. 'Our day of teaching workshops gives a fresh boost to students in a variety of styles and on various instruments, while intimate day time performances are a unique listening opportunity for all and the series of jam sessions at our local pub are simply exuberant.'"
