Atwater-Donnelly
Almost Valentine's Day Concert
Celtic-American folk music duo
Aubrey Atwater and Elwood Donnelly
The lively and loving husband-wife duo of Aubrey Atwater and Elwood Donnelly, weave their Celtic-American traditional and original songs, tunes, dances, and poetry into a unique "almost Valentines Day" concert.
They are known for their gorgeous and unusual vocal harmonies, whether unaccompanied or with guitar, mandolin, tin whistle, harmonica, banjo, mountain dulcimer, bones, spoons and limberjacks.
Appalachian clog dancing, French Canadian footwork … even a bit of Irish step and tap dancing … are typically part of their show.
Their playful stage banter reflects their long loving relationship, making them a natural for our "almost Valentines Day" concert.
An Atwater-Donnelly performance appeals to all ages. It includes plenty of humor, audience participation, even some insights into song origins and cultural history.
Based in Foster, Rhode Island, Aubrey Atwater and Elwood Donnelly have traveled extensively for twenty-four years in the United States, 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.
