An evening in Austin with two extraordinary musicians
About this Event

CasaDBs is honored to (again) host the Austin tour stop of Alasdair Fraser and Natalie Haas. This will be a magical evening of music in Austin, Texas! UPDATE: We will again gather at the Lamar Senior Activity Center at 29th and North Lamar Blvd. Directions below:

Since 2003 Alasdair has featured in a duo with cellist Natalie Haas, restoring the wee fiddle and big fiddle partnership that flourished in eighteenth century Scotland to contemporary prominence at the cutting edge of tradition-rooted creativity. Their debut album, Fire and Grace, was voted Album of the Year at the Scots Trad Music Awards 2004, adding to Alasdair’s North American Independent Record Distributors award for his Dawn Dance album in 1996, and they continue to thrill audiences internationally with their virtuosic playing, their near-telepathic understanding and the joyful spontaneity and sheer physical presence of their music.

NOTE: This new venue is super! Lamar Senior Activity Center is home to the Austin Acoustical Cafe. The room has a rich music history going back to the 70's in Austin. The location is at the corner of 29th St and North Lamar Blvd, just south of the old University Bike Shop. Many will also remember Texas French Bread (RIP) on 29th just east of the intersection at Lamar. Directions: Take the Northwood exit off MoPac and head East toward campus. You'll want to make a left on Jefferson (4 way stop) and jog one block North to 29th, then make a right going East. Its then just a few short blocks to Lamar. Once through the light at Lamar, Shoal Crest is up on your right, either driveaway on your right will take you into large free parking lots.
