Rural Roots concert series brings live music to the county The Goderich Celtic Festival has announced its 2016 Rural Roots concert series, sup- ported in 2016 by the County of Huron Heritage Fund. "The Rural Roots concert series takes advantage of the stellar talent that we're able to bring to Goderich as a part of the Celtic College and Celtic Roots Festival, and presents special concerts in historic venues in smaller areas," said artistic director, Kate John- ston. "Many of the thousands of visitors to the area during Celtic week have the opportu- nity to experience more of the county, and the wonderful communities in it." Each Rural Roots concert is a partnership between the Celtic Roots Festival and a local non-profit community group. Proceeds from each concert are split between the two groups. All concerts are $20 general admission seat- ing, and begin at 7:30 p.m. Aug. 1 - Bayfield Town Hall Featured artist: Cupola:Ward (England) For lovers of fine English harmony singing and dance music - don't miss Cupola:Ward! The fine talents of Lucy Ward (2012 Horizon Award winner at the BBC Radio 2 Folk Awards) and Cupola combine to form this vibrant new collaboration of music and song to thrill folk club and festival audiences alike. Cupola's fine instrumen- tal arrangements and vocal harmonies provide the perfect backdrop for Ward's songs and strong delivery - watch out for this dynamic quartet!! Aug. 2 - Teeswater Town Hall Featured artist: Siobhan Miller Band (Scotland) Siobhan Miller is regarded as one the finest singers to emerge from Scotland's music scene over the last decade. Her soulful and stir- ring renewal of traditional song has seen her win the Scots Singer of the Year award twice at the Scots Trad Music Awards. She is also a recipient of a "BBC Young Folk Award" with Orkney's Jeana Leslie with whom she has released two greatly received albums. Miller began singing in public in her early teens. Since then, she has developed her style through collaborations and studies with many of Scot- land's top musicians. Aug. 3 - St Joseph's Kingsbridge Church Featured artist: Bua (Ire- land/USA) Bua evokes the good times that Irish traditional music so often celebrates, playing in a manner largely forgotten in today's overly polished Irish music world. With a precision and intensity that is rarely heard on this side of the Atlan- tic, their sound stands out among modern bands in the genre by keeping the music down the path of tradi- tion while still being able to raise the rafters with their playing, charm with their singing, and delight with their contemporary energy. Based in Chicago, Illinois—a long - celebrated centre of Irish tra- ditional music—Bua has established itself individually and as a group in the eyes and ears of the traditional community.
