Matt and Shannon Heaton are returning to Woods Hole to share selections from their new Celtic Christmas album "Fine Winter's Night," just released in November 2007. With Shannon on vocals and Irish flute, and Matt on guitar and bouzouki, the Boston-based husband and wife duo will perform songs from the 12th through the 21st century in a style that blends traditional and original lyrics and melodies.
Susan LIndsay of the Boston Irish Reporter writes, "Bringing us songs both sacred and reverent, Shannon's voice is fresh and subtle like the first dusting of snow, while Matt's light and sure guitar accompaniment sets the pace for a joyful sleighride... [they] lead us beyond familiar old songs but they don't forsake them, either." We look forward to an evening filled with holiday favorites, contemplative and spiritual pieces, and joyous and secular selections to round things out.
