The stunning voices, often-singing without instrumental accompaniment, summon up visions of a more simple, certain time. This ability to weave together the new and the old in an ever-growing body of music in the tradition of acoustic performance is the key to keeping that indefinable genre we call 'folk' alive and thriving as we approach the 21st century. Their set was warm, winningly paced and thoroughly lovely. Together, the group wove tapestries of magical sound. The quality of their music is measured in their ability to bring out the best in the audience.
Cherished feelings come back, mist comes often to the eyes.
You leave the evening with a sense of hope and recovery. There is little distance between those who sang and those who listened. The vocal harmonies are daring and often experimental. Overall Music 1707 Massachusetts Ave.
