The Outside Track offers up a lush, hybrid take on Celtic traditions from Scotland, Ireland, and the U.S. These musical and cultural strands come together in a stellar line-up: County Cork’s Teresa Horgan, who plays flute and whistle (and takes on lead vocals); accordion player Fiona Black, who hails from the Scottish Highlands; Ediburgh’s Ailie Robertson, a virtuoso player of the clàrsach (Celtic harp); U.S. National Scottish Fiddle champion Emerald Rae, who brings both nimble Cape Breton –style fiddling and step-dancing to the mix; and Eric MacDonald, on guitar and mandolin. The band’s command of Celtic music, song, and dance provides the foundation for vigorous and engaging contemporary takes on the tradition.

Presented in partnership with Friends of Old Time & Celtic Music.
