Hanneke Cassel Band

Hanneke Cassel Band at the Rockport Opera House

Saturday March 28 7pm


Effervescent and engaging, Boston-based fiddler Hanneke Cassel’s fiddle music fuses influences from the Isle of Skye and Cape Breton with Americana grooves and musical innovations. She has performed and traveled across North America, Europe, Australia and Asia. Hanneke’s music is a blend of the contemporary and traditional, described by the Boston Globe as “exuberant and rhythmic, somehow wild and innocent, delivered with captivating melodic clarity and an irresistible playfulness.”

 

The Hanneke Cassel Band features Keith Murphy on guitar/vocals and alternates between Jenna Moynihan on 5-string fiddle/vocals and Tristan Clarridge on cello/vocals Newfoundland-born guitarist Keith Murphy is a rhythmic powerhouse on guitar and a traditional singer of rare finesse. A native of Newfoundland, he has lived in New England for many years where he has been an influential presence in the traditional music scene through his work with many respected bands, as a tune writer and as director of the Northern Roots Festival in Brattleboro, VT. He has three solo recordings of traditional songs, the most recent being Land of Fish and Seals (2018).  Jenna Moynihan is regarded as one of the best of the best in the new generation of fiddle players. Versatile and inventive, her fiddling style draws strongly from the Scottish tradition, but is in no way bound by it. Multi-instrumentalist, 5 -time Grand National Fiddle Champion, and pioneering cellist, Tristan Clarridge creatively synthesizes traditional folk influences with rhythmic vocabulary from jazz, rock and pop music, and is leading a revolution among adventurous young cellists throughout the USA and beyond. He has toured the world with bluegrass/nu-folk sensation Crooked Still and Darol Anger’s Republic of Strings, as well as Mike Marshall, Bruce Molsky and Cape Breton fiddle phenomenon Natalie MacMaster. 


Together, the Hanneke Cassel Band creates a cutting-edge acoustic sound that retains the integrity and spirit of the Scottish tradition.

The Town of Rockport is seeking your support in the realm of Arts and Entertainment. Our collective town forces are striving to build a thriving, connected, and equitable community where all people enjoy transformative experiences in the arts. We offer indoor and outdoor opportunities to engage and enjoy all forms of Arts, Culture and Entertainment. We connect and work with creatives, arts and culture organizations, and other strategic partners to energize and enrich our community through the arts. If you or your business would like to invest in the arts and cultural programming of Rockport, we would be so grateful for your support.

We are soliciting funds so that we can continue our tradition of bringing community together to share in the joy of our existing and emergent Rockport Arts and Entertainment scene. Patrons of the arts can now utilize the ACE Annual Fund to make a one time or recurrent monthly donation to the vibrant and growing arts scene in Rockport. This monetary support, from both individuals and businesses, will allow us to plan a season long before the first performance ticket is sold. This fund will help us to bring performances to the stage that would otherwise not be possible. Our newly renovated Opera House is a historical gem that will provide even stronger scaffolding for all the events and gatherings it houses. Throughout its life, this venue has been home to a wide array of offerings and is unique in this area because the floor plan allows it to be highly versatile in use. We are also fortunate to use our picturesque Harbor as an outdoor public space for gathering in those few sweet summer months.

Consider your contribution as an investment that offers year-round visibility for your business - and supports programming throughout the town - at the Opera House, Mary Lea Park and The Harbor Park.
