Sept. 20  Lindsay Straw – Montana-born guitarist, singer, bouzouki player and teacher Lindsay Straw found her musical home in Boston’s vibrant local Celtic music scene while studying at Berklee, where she added the influence and music of the Irish session world to her folk revival inspirations (Renbourn, Jansch, Graham, Bensusan). While she continues to draw from the deep well of traditional Celtic music, in recent years she’s been embracing American roots music and blending style and songs from both sides of the Atlantic. She can be found playing all over New England and beyond, not only solo but with bands The New Grown-Ups (modern American roots) and The Ivy Leaf (Celtic). With three – soon to be four! – albums and countless festival, club, and private event gigs under her belt, Lindsay has been heralded as a reincarnation of the legendary trad singers of eras past.
