Aubrey Atwater and Elwood Donnelly will perform at the New Lebanon Library Friday, July 30, at 7 pm. The highly acclaimed husband-wife duo present a delightful program of traditional American and Celtic folk songs, a capella pieces, old-time gospel songs, dance tunes and original works. Elwood and Aubrey blend gorgeous and unusual harmonies and play guitar, Appalachian mountain dulcimer, mandolin, tin whistle, harmonica, banjo, bones, spoons, limberjacks and have surprises including Appalachian clog dancing, French Canadian footwork and Tap. Their performance is appealing to all ages, and with humor, audience participation, and a relaxed stage presence, Aubrey and Elwood explain song origins to create a deeper understanding of the music and its cultural history.
