It's been three years since Robin and Steve's last show here. It sold out in less than 24 hours with a long waiting list! We are fortunate to have them here for TWO nights so that we won't disappoint anyone!

Hailed as a “Celtic guitar god” (Baltimore City Paper), Robin Bullock’s virtuosity on guitar, cittern and mandolin blends the ancient melodies of the Celtic lands and their vigorous Appalachian descendants into one powerful musical vision. From 17th-century Irish harp tunes to spirited jigs and reels to haunting and evocative original compositions, a Robin Bullock concert perfectly balances lightning-fast fingerwork one moment with tender, quiet intimacy the next, creating a unique and magical experience. Robin is a winner of the Association for Independent Music's prestigious INDIE Award (with the world-music trio Helicon), multiple Washington Area Music Association WAMMIE Awards, and Acoustic Guitar Magazine’s annual “Editor’s Pick” Award for his duo CD Celtic Guitar Summit with Steve Baughman. In addition to Robin's solo CDs, he appears on countless others. Internationally recognized as a master Celtic instrumentalist, Robin celebrates the many moods of the Yuletide season in gorgeous guitar interpretations, augmenting his six-string virtuosity with selections on cittern, mandolin and piano.

STEVE BAUGHMAN is the author of the Mel Bay books Celtic Guitar Method, Celtic Fingerstyle Guitar Solos, An Open Tunings Christmas, and his latest, Frailing the Guitar. He has recorded three solo CDs and appears with guitar legends Pierre Bensusan, Martin Simpson and El McMeen on the Rounder Records Celtic Fingerstyle Guitar CD/Video series The Blarney Pilgrim and Ramble to Cashel. In Bensusan's words, "Steve's technique is impeccable...transcended guitar music with heart and spirit.

The magnificently rich sound of two acoustic guitars conjures up the ancient musical landscapes of Ireland, Scotland, Wales and Brittany in the hands of master Celtic guitarists STEVE BAUGHMAN and ROBIN BULLOCK. These two virtuosi together in concert, surrounded by guitars (and citterns and mandolins) and completely relaxed with their audience, form an irresistible onstage synergy. Traditional airs, jigs and reels blend with the timeless harp compositions of Ireland's legendary bard Turlough O'Carolan, hypnotic Breton dances, rollicking Appalachian fiddle tunes and narrative ballads from both sides of the Atlantic, as two of North America's leading Celtic guitarists join forces to create a uniquely beautiful sonic experience. We are SO happy to have these two back here! Have a listen and hear why! More tunes can be heard by scrolling down to show #49.
