This concert is the "kick off" concert for the Donnybrook Fiddle and Step Dance contest and will be 2 hours of hot driving fiddling combined with surprising musical arrangements filled with twists and turns. If you are looking for a dynamic night of raw musical energy, you won’t want to miss this one. Karen’s band has a unique blend of textures drawn from the Classical music genre combined with Western Swing, and Celtic motifs interwoven with the essence of Canadian fiddling at its best. The band includes Cynthia Martens-Steele: cello and vocals, Greg Williams: guitar, fiddle, mandolin, and vocals, Beth Beech on keys, and will feature Champion Step Dancer, Melissa Mouck. The band doesn’t withhold passion or skill to round the edges with unpredictability and precision as they bring their magic to the stage with creativity and their own innovative blend complete with a variety of accompaniment styles punctuated with unique rhythms and solos. When you add a step dance champion to the mix, the sky is the limit. Musical arrangements by this multitalented band are an awe-inspiring, refreshing approach to the traditional fiddling genre. You won’t want to miss it.
