Atwater-Donnelly was just named the Best Folk Act at the 2016 Motif Magazine Music Awards. The Atwater-Donnelly Trio performs a unique and thrilling blend of traditional American and Celtic folk music and percussive dance. Rhode Islanders Elwood Donnelly, Aubrey Atwater, and Cathy Clasper-Torch blend gorgeous and unusual vocals and play guitar, Appalachian mountain dulcimer, violin, cello, mandolin, tin whistle, harmonica, banjo, bones, spoons, and limberjacks. Other surprises include Appalachian clog dancing and French Canadian footwork.
Their performances are appealing to all ages. With a relaxed stage presence, Aubrey, Elwood, and Cathy explain song, instrument, and dance origins to give more relevance to the material. Separately and together, these three performers have won numerous awards and produced many CDs, books, and DVDs which will be available at the concert. They have performed throughout the United States and beyond, and their recordings receive international airplay. Join these three on a joyous foray into the old folk traditions and enjoy the comedic chemistry of good friends. To learn more, visit www.atwater-donnelly.com.
