Keith Murphy and The Band of Amber

Please join us for an evening of celebrated traditional music.

We have been fans of Keith Murphy for many years and are so excited to bring his new expanded full band sound to our stage.

​

He is a noted instrumentalist, and well known for his playing with Nightingale, Childsplay, Boston Revels, Tony Barrand, Hanneke Cassel, Yann Falquet, and his most enduring collaborator, his wife and fiddler Becky Tracy.​​

His direct and intimate style of traditional singing in English and French infuses old ballads and songs with a powerful immediacy while his rhythmic and percussive finger style of guitar playing brings new shape and color to his songs.

After three acoustic-based solo recordings, Keith turned to a new instrumental lineup for his most recent solo project, “Bright as Amber,” which delicately incorporates bass, drums, and electric guitar over his fingerstyle acoustic guitar and singing of old songs.

Bringing this sound to the stage is a band of incredible musicianship.

​

Anand Nayak is a Grammy-nominated producer and multi-instrumentalist who crafts beautifully sensitive and atmospheric textures on electric guitar.

He is a member of Rani Arbo & daisy mayhem.

​

Richie Barshay who has played with the likes of Herbie Hancock, Chick Corea, Natalie Merchant, and Bobby McFerrin, is member of the Klezmatics, and is a drummer of astounding range and musicality.

​

Ty Gibbons is an acclaimed composer for film and TV, and a member of the Vermont indie folk band Red Heart the Ticker. As an acoustic bass player, he melds an understanding of traditional folk song with his other wide-ranging musical talents.​
