As part of our continuing series of live music this summer, the Maritime Museum of the Atlantic is pleased to welcome back the Ragged Robins for this installment of the Tuesday Night Tunes.
Their love of the irresistible groove of traditional Irish music brought flutist Erin Dempsey and harpist Ellen Gibling together to form a vibrant musical duo called The Ragged Robins. With harp, flute, and vocals, they collaborate on swinging sets of tunes from the old country and an eclectic assortment of their favourite folk songs. Erin's Irish flute playing ranges from bright and airy to deep and husky and is driven by a playful rhythm. Her deep, soulful vocals conjurs honest renderings of folk songs. Ellen's pristine harp playing adds a crisp, sparkling texture and a rich, resonant foundation to both the flute and voice. Together, they present fresh, evocative, and light-hearted interpretations of ancient and contemporary folk music. The Ragged Robins are from Halifax, Nova Scotia, where they currently live and perform.
This concert is co-sponsored by the Maritime Museum of the Atlantic and Waterfront Development.
