PUTNEY-Next Stage Arts and Twilight Music present an evening of Celtic and Old-time Appalachian roots music from Quebec and Ireland by Kavaz and I Draw Slow at 7 p.m. July 3 at Next Stage, 15 Kimball Hill.
Hailing from Dublin, Ireland, and led by sibling songwriters Dave and Louise Holden, award-winning quintet I Draw Slow has consistently redefined the boundaries of acoustic roots music over the past decade. Its distinctive blend of Irish and Appalachian roots music and dynamic, immersive performances captivate audiences with exquisite balladry, then bring them to their feet with high energy trad tunes, reads a description.
Kavaz is a traditional music trio featuring Isaac Beaudet Lefebvre (violin), Everest Witman (guitar), and François-Xavier Dueymes (flutes). Each musician brings a distinct cultural voice to the group - drawing from the musical traditions of Quebec, Vermont, and Brittany. The name Kavaz is borrowed from the Breton language and means "fork in the road" or "junction," a fitting metaphor for the trio's convergence of diverse musical paths to a vibrant and distinctive sound.
