Folk World, Germany Simply the best band I saw all through the summer festival season. Georgina Boyes, BBC Radio 2 One of the most innovative and uplifting bands playing contemporary roots music anywhere. Tony Montague, The Vancouver Courier La Bottine Souriante a “reel” booster!

  • Long Bio, Website 6.13
    Grey Larsen - Long Bio Grey Larsen is a versatile and accomplished musician and an author of books on Irish music. Though he has explored many musical paths since the 1970s, he now focuses mainly on three: • Irish Flute and Tin Whistle: Larsen is a highly accomplished player and an acclaimed author. Four of his new books came out in 2013. • Concert Performances with Cindy Kallet: Intimate traditional and contemporary folk music and song. • Mastering: With a specialty in acoustic-based music. Larsen was born in 1955 in New York City. His family moved to Cincinnati, Ohio the following year. Beginning piano lessons at the age of four, he enjoyed a childhood and youth full of musical exploration, his inner world filled with the keyboard music of Bach and Mozart, as well as the early rock, R&B, and Motown sounds on the radio, the songs of contemporary folk music interpreters and traditional Appalachian and Irish music. From 1970 to 1972 he studied at the Cincinnati College-Conservatory of Music before moving on, in 1973, to continue at the Oberlin Conservatory of Music in Oberlin, Ohio. While pursuing early music and composition on the one hand, he came ever more deeply under the spell of traditional music on the other, and for several years he followed these parallel streams with equal energy and dedication. In these and later years, he spent a great deal of time (in Cincinnati and Cleveland, Ohio) learning traditional Irish music from elder Irish immigrant musicians, most notably Co. Galway melodeon player Michael J. Kennedy (1900–1978), Co.

  • Hopsadaddy Anmeldelser
    HABADEKUK – HOPSADADDY REVIEWS Habadekuk spreder godt humør med sin hopsahyldest. Det er svært ikke at blive i godt humør, når man lytter til Habadekuks »Hopsadaddy«. Titlen siger sådan set det hele. Der er for det meste fart over feltet, når det ni-mands store orkester slår sig løs med polkaer, hopsaer, raske sønderhoninger og de andre - for det meste - hastige melodier fra den danske spillemandstradition. Ikke bare er Kristian Bugge som violinist en fornøjelse at lytte til – Habadekuks varemærke er den store blæsersektion, der puster en snert af salsa og jazz ind i mange af melodierne. Det tager de ikke skade af for nu at tage den på jysk. Der er næsten karnevalsstemning over orkesterets version af »Polka Hamborger, Himmerland«, som er hentet i Smed Kristians nodebog fra 1866 i Siem i Himmerland. Sådan bærer man også en spillemandstradition videre. Bandet vil i den kommende tid blandt andet være at høre på Skagen Festivalen lørdag den 2. juli. Det vil ikke gå stille af. Flensborg Avis, Ole Sørensen 25/6 2011 Partyfolk ’La Bouttine Souriante’ kom først, så kom ’Baltinget’, og nu kommer ’Habadekuk’ med deres udgave af traditionel folkemusik på traditionelle instrumenter – tilsat blæsergruppe og rytmesektion – og farvet med jazz- og rockklichéer. ’Habadekuk’ gør det godt, spændende, livligt, vedkommende, og det hele er rigtigt set af kapelmesteren og violinspillemanden Kristian Bugge. Repertoiret er helt overvejende fløden af tidens traditionelle danske melodier – udvalgt med stor omhu. Nå, men så er det altså hamrende ærgerligt, at saxofonisten har så svært ved de frie jazzede formuleringer...når nu det også er det, de vil.

Along with brother Réjean, he created Les Frères Brunet and went on to record several albums and perform at various concerts around the world. In 1997, André’s unwavering energy and refined style earned him a spot with La Bottine Souriante, with whom he toured more than 15 countries over the course of 10 years. Although his journey with La Bottine Souriante came to an end in 2006, André remained immersed in traditional music. At the Grand Masters Fiddling Competition in August 2008—an event showcasing more than twenty violinists from across Canada— André took home top honours as "Grand Master of Canada.” It was the first time a Quebecer had won the prestigious award since the competition’s inception in 1990.

    Scottish and Irish Music Enlivened by Uncommon Instrumentation, Top Notch Arrangements and Remarkable Musicianship BRASS LASSIE, a bold new band based in the Twin Cities of St. Paul/Minneapolis, combines traditional tunes, songs and style with dazzling modern horn lines, sparking their own genre of eclectic, remarkable music. 10-member strong, the ensemble performs extraordinary takes on Scottish, Irish and French music, traditional and new, featuring a powerful 4-piece horn section, a terrific rhythm section, fine fiddles, flutes, pipes, vocals and some fabulous step dancing. Smart, joyous horn arrangements by top notch jazz arranger Peter Enblom, plus some great band arrangements from Dr. David Milne. The founder of BRASS LASSIE Laura MacKenzie carefully envisioned this big band for several years. It was realized at last in 2016 with a triumphant summer debut, a great day. In 2017, MacKenzie received a highly competitive Artist Initiative grant from the Minnesota State Arts Board to further develop the repertoire for this ensemble concept. Since their debut, BRASS LASSIE has added engaging, exciting new arrangements to every performance, and will be recording their first studio album in Spring, 2018. BRASS LASSIE’s most notable performances have been at the Celtic Junction Arts Center, McNally Smith concert hall (both in St. Paul, MN), at the Minnesota Scottish Fair, the international Vintage Band Festival (Northfield, MN), The Irish Fair of Minnesota, Normandale Lake, and a major stage at the Minnesota State Fair.
