“A great place for collaborative energy” Cindy Kallet re: Pathways Gathering Space
Thursday January 31st, 2019
Cindy Kallet and Grey Larsen, each well-known and loved for their decades of music making, have spent nearly 15 years in a joyful musical collaboration. Cindy is a superb singer, guitarist, songwriter, and multi-instrumentalist. Grey is one of America’s finest players of the Irish flute and tin whistle, as well as an accomplished singer and concertina, fiddle, piano and harmonium player.The duo’s repertoire includes Cindy’s sparkling original songs, distinctive settings of traditional Irish music, Scandinavian fiddle duets, old-time fiddle and guitar tunes from southern Indiana, and new music that Cindy and Grey are inventing together. Included are vocal duets, guitar, Irish flute, Irish alto flute, tin whistle, concertina, harmonium, and duet fiddling, and plenty of stories that put the music into a personal context.Scott Alarik of The Boston Globe calls Cindy “…one of folk music’s most respected songwriters… provocative, heartwise, and original …a brilliant guitarist….” Mike Joyce of the Washington Post calls Grey “… a gifted multi-instrumentalist who consistently demonstrates his melodic finesse,” while The New Mexico Daily describes his playing as “positively spellbinding.”This special Vineyard concert included plenty of Cindy’s original songs, including some she wrote while living on the Island back in the 1970s, during which time she worked at Felix Neck, the Vineyard Serpentarium, and the Black Dog Bakery. She also taught school, worked as a carpenter, cleaned houses, and shucked scallops for three weeks.
