12:00 The Dreamweavers

The Dreamweavers are a vocal duo with guitar accompaniment. Their varied repertoire includes numerous songs in Portuguese, Italian and Spanish. Teka, a native of Rio de Janeiro, enjoys letting her alto musical light shine, reflecting the zest of Brazilian life and great Bossa Nova classics, as well as Spanish and Italian popular standards. Filippo is a native of what to some Carolinians might seem "terra incognita" - the hills and hollers of East Tennessee. While his ancestry is Anglo-Saxon, he suspects he has a Latin forbear, what with his robust enthusiasm for the great Italian tenor arias and Neapolitan concert standards. Both in tandem and as soloists, they perform with gusto, giving translations of and making cultural connections to songs, thereby providing an experience both entertaining and informative.

3:00 Barrowburn

Barrowburn is a Raleigh, NC based band presenting traditional Celtic music on acoustic instruments for dances, public performances, group meetings, and private engagements throughout North Carolina.
Barrowburn prides itself in its versatility. They are equally at home ripping through a set of jigs or reels as they are rendering the simple beauty of a slow air. They perform both legacy and contemporary ballads from the tradition as well as comical pub songs that are best accompanied by a swinging pint of Guinness. In concert, they demonstrate their love for Celtic music, but do so from an American perspective.
