Katie McNally and Neil Pearlman Concert

The vibrant musical traditions of Scotland and Cape Breton take on new life in the hands of fiddler Katie McNally (“Formidable”, The Boston Globe) and Neil Pearlman (“a tremendous pianist”, BBC Radio Scotland).McNally and Pearlman have performed as a duo for over a decade, making their mark at legendary stages like Newport Folk Festival, playing to buoyant festival plazas in Spain and England, all while maintaining ties to home by leading monthly community sessions at the storied Canadian-American Club in Boston. They’ve often teamed up in larger outfits like New England powerhouse Pine Tree Flyers and Gàidhlig-language unit Fàrsan and their intimate duo show reflects a deep musical trust and intuition built on years of these varied collaborations. Both were 2025 Shannon Artists-in-Residence at Beinn Mhàbu in Cape Breton, Nova Scotia and are co-Artistic Directors of Groton Hill’s St. Patrick’s Day Celebration.

Doors open at 2:30pm, and music begins at 3pm. Refreshments will be available for purchase.
