Avi Fox-Rosen- Di rayze aheym / The journey home

Di rayze aheym / The journey home is a nine-part poem written by Irena Klepfisz in the early 1980s. It’s a powerful exploration of legacy, displacement, diaspora, queerness, feminism, secular Jewish identity, and memory. In 2025 Avi Fox-Rosen set the poem to music creating a 9 song cycle. The adaptation bridges traditional Yiddish musical forms with contemporary songwriting, creating a dialogue between past and present to imagine a vibrant future right here, in the place(s) where we live.

Avi will record this project in fall 2025, and is currently fundraising to support the album project.

About High Horse

High Horse is a progressive-acoustic boy band featuring four friends, three bows, and one pick. A mix of Celtic, bluegrass, and classical music, it's a band of brothers playing alternative rock on acoustic instruments – a rollicking romp of great vibes, virtuosic chops, and tight vocals. Composed of fiddler Carson McHaney, cellist Karl Henry, guitarist G Rockwell, and bassist Noah Harrington, the band draws from its varied musical backgrounds to explore and perform original compositions and tunes from diverse folk traditions. Our debut album, produced by Jacob Jolliff and mixed by Dave Sinko, will be released this December.

Her affinity for original music has her working and recording with a myriad of touring bands, most notably as the fiddle player in Rachel Sumner and Traveling Light. Her debut solo album, Grand Design, set to be released early in 2025, captures Wallace’s musings on world’s endings, sailing across the western ocean, and moving on. Her timeless lyrics and virtuosic guitar playing are grounded in traditional Celtic and American folk repertoire.

Here’s a sneak peek:

High Horse and I met while studying at the New England Conservatory, and we’ve been collaborators ever since. I’m featured on their upcoming album as both a songwriter and singer for the track "Holy Water." Watch here! We’re excited to combine the progressive energy of High Horse with Kat’s folk-inspired songwriting for this upcoming tour! -Kat

If there is one musician who embodies the dynamism and vitality of the current English folk revival, it’s Eliza Carthy MBE.

As the daughter of folk legends Martin Carthy & Norma Waterson, Eliza grew up immersed in the world of traditional music and from an early age was championed by John Peel, Andy Kershaw and Billy Bragg.

Beloved of staunch traditionalists and iconoclasts alike, Eliza’s music effortlessly crosses boundaries of genre and style. Whether solo or fronting a big band, performing a centuries-old ballad or a self-written song, her powerful, nuanced voice, fiercely beautiful fiddle-playing, and mesmerizing performances have influenced a whole generation of young musicians.

Twice nominated for the Mercury Prize, and winner of innumerable other accolades over her thirty-year career, Eliza has performed and recorded around the world with a diverse array of artists including, Paul Weller, Rufus & Martha Wainwright, Patrick Wolf, and Jarvis Cocker.

Describing herself simply as a modern English musician, she is one of the most impressive, engaging, and important performers of her generation.

Faoileán

Faoileán, with Elias Cardoso and Helen Kuhar!

doors at 6:30, music at 7:00. Sliding scale $15-25

In the Irish language, the word Faoileán (FWEEL-AWN) means seabird, or one who circles or spins, or one who cries, or wild one. Inspired by the gravity and multiplicity or this word and it's native language, Nathan Bishop, Connor Brogan, and Rob Helsel adopted Faoileán as the name for their New Jersey- Philadelphia based Irish Folk outfit.

Faoileán challenges and experiments with the limits of modern Irish folk music, from executing tender verses in five-hundred-year-old ballads, to gliding and soaring through original and handed-down melodies, to ripping the very fabric of tunes apart through intensity and atmosphere.

Nathan helms the bowed instruments and commands a tapestry of tunes, Rob solidifies rhythms through guitars and banjos, and Connor adds testures and dimension through an assortment of string and bellow instruments. Rob and Connor share and trade vocal leads and accompaniments.

The trio released their debut full-length album last year-Far Hills.
