Our most recent concert was:

Rachel Eddy & Kristian Herner
Thursday, August 20, 2009

Rachel Eddy is a West Virginia native growing up in Morgantown, learning traditional music from her parents.  She's played in several bands including the Morgantown Rounders, Stewed Mulligan, and the Woodticks.  Rachel moved last year to Nashville TN, and was joined by Tim O'Brien, Mark Shatz and Russ Barenburg to make a record that features her on fiddle, banjo, guitar and vocals.  She's taught private lessons for over 10 years and has been on staff at the Augusta Heritage Center many times.  Rachel has an upcoming tour in Germany and is planning a move to Sweden in the fall.
 
Kristian Herner was born in Denmark into a musical family, and grew up there learning old time banjo from his father.  As an adult he later moved to Stockholm, Sweden to play with the Rockridge Brothers.  The Brothers are a successful string band performing often, both in Sweden and throughout Europe.  Kristian met Rachel at Clifftop last year and they began their personal and musical journey, both singing and playing together.
 
This house concert is a rare and special occasion to catch Rachel and Kristian together here in the US.  Don't miss the opportunity to join us for both a live performance and a jam after the show with these two!
