Every performance is surprisingly different and always entertaining, exciting and educational with the award-winning duo
Atwater~Donnelly,
who provide a unique and thrilling blend of traditional American and Celtic folk music and dance, along with original songs and poetry.The
highly praised husband-wife duo blends gorgeous vocals with an astounding array of instruments including the mountain dulcimer, old-time banjo, tin whistle, guitar, mandolin, harmonica, limberjacks, feet and
more. Also not to be missed are Atwater~Donnelly Band shows where Aubrey and Elwood collaborate with musicians Cathy Clasper-Torch on violin, cello and piano, John & Heidi Cerrigione
on up-right bass and autoharp, and Irish step-dancer Kevin Doyle who was recently the principle dancer and dance director for Brian O'Donovan's Christmas Celtic Sojourn. Another
combination of these folks makes up the six-member old-time gospel band, Jerimoth Hill. Based in Rhode Island, Aubrey Atwater and Elwood Donnelly have traveled extensively for twenty-five years in
the United States, with occasional trips to Ireland, England, and Canada, to perform as well as find their songs and dances one by one. They have produced six books, a film, and twelve recordings that
receive international airplay. Explore their web site; listen to their songs; watch some You-Tube flicks; look at photos
; read their poetry and musings; and enjoy! . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . .
