On Midsummer Eve (Wednesday, June 20), Kieran Kane and Rayna Gellert will be presented in a garden concert in Harvard.
Kieran Kane’s seminal work in The O’Kanes and Kane Welch Kaplin laid the foundation for the contemporary world of Americana music. A successful solo artist, collaborator, and songwriter (with songs recorded by Alan Jackson, John Prine, Emmylou Harris, and many more), Kieran is a musician’s musician.
Rayna Gellert turned to Appalachian old-time music at a young age, becoming a prodigious fiddler and leading a new revival of American stringband music through her work with the acclaimed roots band Uncle Earl. An in-demand collaborator, she has toured and recorded with artists such as Scott Miller, Abigail Washburn, Toubab Krewe, and Robyn Hitchcock.
Kieran and Rayna first met at San Francisco’s Hardly Strictly Bluegrass Festival, which led to their cowriting songs for Kieran’s recent album, Unguarded Moments, as well as for Rayna’s 2017 release, Workin’s Too Hard. Their new duo album, The Ledges, was released on Dead Reckoning Records in February.
