Join us at the Waltham Museum on March 8th at 1:30pm as we continue our Social Series with Traditional Folk and Celtic Duo: Bob and Jen Strom with Emily Peterson on concertina.
Bob & Jen, play regularly at north-of-Boston sessions, Irish pubs, coffee houses, and local festivals. Though Jen began as mainly a contra-dance fiddler, she is now an Irish fiddler as well as a singer of American Folk Songs and traditional Irish Ballads.
They will sing a blend of American Folk Songs and Irish Ballads along with Irish fiddle tunes and they will be joined by local favorite and Beverly resident, Emily Peterson on concertina.
They have recorded two CDs ‘Round the Bend and Heading Home. Bob’s interest in music and in Salem history has led to publishing a two-volume music collection called Old Salem in Ballad and Song and Old Salem at Sea in Ballad and Song. The books document Salem’s rich musical history.
