Cantrip — Live at Old Songs
Friday, October 9 at 7:30 pm ET
Cantrip is an Old Scots word meaning a charm, magic spell, or piece of mischief, and it aptly describes the unexpected twists and turns in their musical arrangements. Swirling pipes, raging fiddle, thunderous guitar, and three rich voices blend to create a sound energetic enough to tear the roof off. After 25 years of touring, Cantrip has found a character like no other. Echoes can be heard of trad music from the 1960s and 70s, but the years have slowly infested their music with the sounds of funk, metal, bluegrass, swing, and even klezmer. cantrip-music.com

John McCutcheon — Live at Old Songs
Thursday, October 22 at 7:30 pm ET
John McCutcheon is simply one of our most respected and loved folksingers. Multi-instrumentalist, songwriter, singer, storyteller, recording artist, producer, author, educator, and committed grassroots political activist, he is indeed “Virginia’s rustic Renaissance man” (the Washington Post). But it is in live performance that John feels most at home, whether in a major concert hall or theater, in an elementary school auditorium, on a festival stage, or at a farm rally. Whether in print, on record, or on stage, few people communicate with the versatility, charm, wit, or pure talent of this man. folkmusic.com
