Folk duo Aubrey Atwater and Elwood Donnelly return to Schroon Tuesday night* in  the second Boat House concert series,  proudly sponsored by the Schroon Lake Arts Council.

From their official bio:

Every performance is surprisingly different and always entertaining, exciting and educational with the award-winning duo Atwater~Donnelly, who provide a unique and thrilling blend of traditional American and Celtic folk music and dance, along with original songs and poetry.

The highly praised husband-wife duo blends gorgeous vocals with an astounding array of instruments including the mountain dulcimer, old-time banjo, tin whistle, guitar, mandolin, harmonica, limberjacks, feet and more.

Based in Warren, Rhode Island, Aubrey Atwater and Elwood Donnelly have traveled extensively for thirty years in the United States, with occasional trips to Ireland, England, and Canada, to perform as well as find their songs and dances one by one. They have produced seven books, thirteen recordings that receive international airplay, and were featured in a documentary by son, Uriah Donnelly.

*Tuesday July 17th   at 7:30 p.m.   in the Boathouse Tickets $20  and are available by calling  (518) 532-9259.

Bullies beware! That’s the message in Saturday’s performances of Big Goats Gruff, a children’s opera performed by the talented company from the Seagle Music Colony.

The two shows — July 14 at 10:00 and 11:30 am at Schroon’s Boathouse Theatre — are free!

The opera is John Davies’ take on the traditional fairy tale, using the  music of Mozart, Donizetti and Rossini in what’s described by the Seagle folks as “a delightful 35 minute show that teaches audiences about the perils of being a bully. Performances are free and are sure to please young and old alike.”

Can’t make the show? SMC is touring the Billy Goats Gruff across the North Country.
