Copley Street | Concerts in West K with Mousam River Music
April 6 @ 3:00 pm - 5:00 pm
$25.00
The Museum’s Concert Partner Mousam River Music Presents:
Copley Street – Joey Abarta, Nathan Gourley, and Owen Marshall – is a trio of some of the finest Irish musicians in the Northeast. Featuring Abarta on uilleann pipes (Irish bagpipes), Gourley on fiddle, and Marshall on guitar and bouzouki, they create a beautifully expressive and masterfully crafted sound. They have just released their second CD, Copley Street 2, which builds on the success of their acclaimed debut album. The three musicians weave together intricate tunes and instrumental textures in a rich tonal blend that shows the deep musical chemistry between them.
Abarta has carved out a reputation as one of the finest pipers of his generation; he is an All-Ireland champion. In addition to his work with Copley Street he maintains an active schedule of teaching and performing. He has toured with the Green Fields of America troupe, and performed for Irish President Michael D. Higgins. He recently released his second solo album, King of the Blind.
Gourley is a highly regarded fiddler with a distinctive and lyrical style. He has collaborated with such renowned players as Paddy O’Brien of Chulrua, Daithi Sproule of Altan, Brian Miller of Bua, and Norah Rendell of The Outside Track. Since moving to Boston in 2013, Nathan has also released Life Is All Checkered with Laura Feddersen, and The Truckley Howl with Mairead Hurley and John Blake. He has taught and performed at festivals in Ireland, New Zealand, and throughout the United States on both fiddle and guitar.
Portland resident Marshall has emerged as one of the foremost accompanists of traditional music. Known locally for his long tenure with The Press Gang, he has toured and recorded with the likes of Seamus Egan, Liz Carroll, Dervish, and Jenna Moynihan.
Copley Street’s music is a celebration of tradition, honed through years of collaboration and live performance. They deliver music that is full of lift, nuance, and sheer musical joy. Essential listening for fans of Irish traditional music!
