Long Time Courting at EOH
(Earlville, NY – Nov. 2013) The Earlville Opera House will present the first of three concerts featuring women and the forefront of Celtic music. The first concert features the Boston-based Long Time Courting, an all-women Irish band that “are true masters of their craft” on Friday, Nov. 22 at 8 pm. Long Time Courting is known for their rich, soaring four-part vocal arrangements and high-energy dance tunes.
The band brings together the talents of Sarah Blair on fiddle/vocals, Liz Simmons on guitar/vocals, Shannon Heaton on flute/vocals and Valerie Thompson on cello/vocals. Their musical fusion shares elements of traditional Irish, Scottish and American folk music as well as contemporary material that is inventively arranged and skillfully rendered.
Tickets are $18 for the general audience, $16 for EOH members, and $13 for students. Seating is limited. The EOH Holiday Artists Sale featuring over 65 regional artists with jewelry to blown glass to pottery will be open before the show and at intermission.
