Side by Each | Concerts in West K with Mousam River Music

The Museum’s Concert Partner Mousam River Music Presents:

Two of Maine’s musical power couples – Don & Cindy Roy and Erica Brown & Matt Shipman – join forces in Side by Each. The roots run deep in this dynamic and exciting quartet! Don and Cindy’s music (fiddle, piano, and step-dancing) goes back to their respective families who hailed from Quebec and the Canadian Maritimes. In 2018, they were awarded a National Heritage Fellowship from the National Endowment for the Arts as leading exponents of Franco-American traditional music in Maine.

Erica Brown began studying fiddle with Don when she was eight years old. She has developed into a virtuosic fiddler and singer whose music fits right in with Don & Cindy as if they had never stopped playing together. In addition to her mastery of Franco-American music she and husband Matt Shipman (guitar and bouzouki) also pursue a career in Bluegrass and Country music. They lead the five piece group, Erica Brown and the Bluegrass Connection; the trio, Darlin’ Corey; and the country swing band, Haggard & Cashed.

Superb fiddling from Don and Erica! Rock-solid, tasteful accompaniment from Cindy and Matt! Cindy’s lively step-dancing and podorythmie! Great vocals! It all adds up to an exciting afternoon of music and fun! Don’t miss it!
