Cantrip — Live at Old Songs
Friday, May 20, at 7:30 pm EDT
In Person AND Live Streamed at Old Songs
The name 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, likewise the compelling potency of their musicianship. Swirling border pipes, raging fiddle, thunderous guitar and three rich voices blend to create a sound energetic enough to tear the roof off. After 20 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. Dan Houghton, Jon Bews and Eric McDonald stir the elements in a witches’ cauldron, slowly coalescing into chaotic order.
The concert will be held in-person at the Old Songs building (37 S Main in Voorheesville), and streamed on the Old Songs YouTube Channel. Proof of Vaccination and Masks required to attend in person. Limited Capacity. No Refunds.
