Arcata Playhouse presents Hanneke Cassell, joined by guitarist Keith Murphy and fiddles Jenna Moynihan.
Effervescent and engaging, Boston-based fiddler Hanneke Cassel’s style fuses influences from the Isle of Skye and Cape Breton Island with Americana grooves and musical innovations, creating a cutting-edge acoustic sound that retains the integrity and spirit of the Scottish tradition. Her music is a blend of the contemporary and traditional, described by the Boston Globe as “exuberant and rhythmic, somehow wild and innocent, delivered with captivating melodic clarity and an irresistible playfulness.” Cassel is joined by Newfoundland-born guitarist Keith Murphy, a proficient multi-instrumentalist and highly sought-after sideman on guitar, mandolin and foot percussion and virtuosic fiddler Jenna Moynihan.
