SUMMARY:notloB Parlour Concerts presents Katie McNally & Eric McDonald
DESCRIPTION:\"Eric and Katie create a magical acoustic blend of sound 
 that soars sweetly above the listener, swirls to new heights, and then
  drifts softly back down to earth. You're left with the inescapable de
 sire to press repeat!\" -- Fiddler and notloB alumna Lissa Schneckenbu
 rger\nWelcome back Katie (Newton Celtic seisiún, 5/16/09) and Eric (8
 /11/07 & 8/13/08, Dave Carter tributes and 11/2/07, in support of the 
 Rowan Brothers) and together 3/2/12!\nKatie McNally and Eric McDonald 
 found each other in high school as like-minded musicians in the Boston
  traditional music scene. Both sought to functionally push the envelop
 e of traditional music, using original music and modern sensibility to
  add new color to the familiar style of tunes that have been passed do
 wn for generations. Over the years and many impromptu musical moments,
  this musical relationship congealed into a cohesive unit. Now the mus
 ic, while based heavily in the Scottish tradition, is infused with inf
 luences from two diverse and educated musical backgrounds, where caref
 ully arranged traditional pieces seamlessly give way to original compo
 sitions. Every set provides an enthralling dynamic intensity, jerking 
 the listener's emotional chain back and forth with an ultimately satis
 fying blend of feeling. Having always been two of the busiest players 
 around, these two have amassed a reputable list of experience, current
 ly including the scottish powerhouse Cantrip (McDonald) and the fiddle
  supergroup Childsplay (McNally). This practiced musicianship shines i
 n the melodic texture and murky tones that linger long after a McNally
 /McDonald performance.\nKATIE MCNALLY has grown up steeped in fiddle m
 usic. She is a former New England Scottish Fiddle Champion and a two t
 ime runner up for the National title. She recently graduated Tufts Uni
 versity, where she studied traditional music from many cultures (inclu
 ding a semester abroad in Glasgow, Scotland). Katie is quickly becomin
 g a renowned instructor. You may often find her leading workshops for 
 the Boston Scottish Fiddle Club or teaching at Boston Harbor Scottish 
 Fiddle School. She also performs with the fiddle Supergroup, Childspla
 y, alongside many of the nation's finest acoustic musicians.\nERIC MCD
 ONALD is known for his tasteful playing on both the mandolin and the g
 uitar. A former student at Berklee College of Music, he cut his teeth 
 touring with acts such as Matching Orange and The Dave Rowe Trio. He h
 as studied with some of the best mandolinists in the world, including 
 John McGann, Joe Walsh and Sean Staples. As a guitarist, Eric is an in
  demand accompanist, performing with acts such as Brendan Carey Block 
 and Kyle Carey. He is on staff at Passim School of Music and Maine Fid
 dle Camp, and tours with acts such as Rebecca Wudarski, Cantrip and Pe
 sky J. Nixon.\nKatie McNally & Eric McDonald's website: http://www.kat
