Celtic Music Concert: Stories and History with Jeff Snow
Tuesday, March 12, 7pm
Jeff Snow is a talented multi-instrumentalist who shares the music and the stories behind the music of Scotland, Ireland, and England.
Growing up in a home where old Scottish folk songs were the everyday sounds, Jeff developed an early love of Celtic music. Much of the history of these lands was preserved in song. There is no better example of this than the story of John Hunt. In 1855, at the age of 13, John Hunt left his family’s home in Kilkelly Ireland and came to the United States. He never returned to Ireland and never saw his family again. The Ballad of Kilkelly Ireland tells the story of the Hunt family.
Jeff’s music has been described as “quiet and relaxing.” Much of it is, but every once in a while, he breaks out and the foot stomping begins. Each concert is a wee bit different and adapted to the response and interest of the audience. In concert Jeff plays the guitar, autoharp and bouzouki. He can also find his way around a drum set and most of the percussion family.
