With Support from Angus and CaityRennie Pearson is a virtuoso multi-instrumentalist specializing in the traditional music of Ireland, Scotland, and Maritime Canada. His dynamic performances balance foot-stomping dance tunes, soul-stirring slow airs, stunning songs, and evocative original compositions with rich storytelling. With engaging stage presence, humor, and deep knowledge of the music and its history, he invites audiences of all ages and backgrounds to connect with the music he plays on wooden flute, Irish whistles, guitar, bodhrán, fiddle, and voice.
Rennie has toured extensively across New Zealand, Australia, Ireland, Canada, and China, performed at major festivals, and appeared alongside artists such as Yo-Yo Ma on international recording projects.
For this special evening, Rennie will be joined by John Sorrentino (keyboard, guitar), Kushla Kozuleh (guitar, voice), and Angus Barbary (fiddle, octave mandolin), adding rich harmonies, intricate textures, and driving rhythms to the music.
Opening the night will be Caity & Angus (Caity Brennan & Angus Barbary)—stalwarts of the Australian folk and Celtic music scene, and a musical couple with a wealth of experience writing, performing, and sharing music at sessions and festivals near and far. Based in Melbourne, their connection spans from cranking trad tunes to arrow-through-the-heart songs of social and political justice, leaving audiences feeling both fired up and closer together. Fiddle, DADGAD guitar, and mandolin strings will resonate alongside their coupled harmonies in an engaging performance that’s as intimate as it is powerful.
