Nightingale October 6, 2008

This great Vermont-based trio consists of Jeremiah McLane on accordion and piano, Keith Murphy on guitar, mandolin, vocals and foot percussion, and Becky Tracy on fiddle. Nightingale's music travels through Quebec, France, Ireland, Newfoundland, Scandinavia and beyond to produce a blend that is unique and compelling. With a core of fiddle, accordion and guitar, with the dynamic rhythm of French Canadian foot percussion, Nightingale moves easily from carefully woven song arrangements to driving instrumentals. Nightingale is also known as one of the foremost contra dance bands in the U.S.
