SOLD OUT IN A RECORD 24 HOURS!!!

SUNDAY, DECEMBER 11

7:00 PM

Folks, we cannot tell you HOW EXCITING a show this is going to be! Two of the world's most wonderful Celtic musicians in a concert together! We have enjoyed the music of Robin Bullock and Steve Baughman for years and have wanted them both to play here at Little Lake Hill, but never imagined having them as a DUO in a show!

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. AND they promise to play some of our favorite HOLIDAY tunes for this appropriate time of year!

Robin and Steve have recorded numerous CDs of their own, but recorded a duo CD in 2002 called ‘Celtic Guitar Summit’.  They were honored by Acoustic Guitar Magazine with an "Editor's Pick" as one of the top CDs of 2003. Sing Out! magazine hailed Celtic Guitar Summit as "a shimmering collection of haunting melodies, ringing tones and consummate musicianship," while Dirty Linen warned that the CD was "guaranteed to lower your blood pressure. Other side effects may include uncontrollable smiling or blissful humming."

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, A Drop of the Pure, The Angels' Portion and Old World Christmas, 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."

Three-time WAMMIE Award winner ROBIN BULLOCK (Baltimore City Paper: "Celtic guitar god." ) is a prolific composer and virtuoso multi-instrumentalist on 6- and 12-string guitars, cittern, mandolin, piano and bass guitar. A founding member of the innovative acoustic world-music trio Helicon (winners of the Association for Independent Music's prestigious INDIE Award), Robin has toured extensively throughout the U.S., Canada and Europe and appeared on over fifty CDs, including four critically acclaimed solo CDs, Green Fields, Midnight Howl, Between Earth and Sky and The Lightning Field. Classical Guitar Magazine calls Robin "A musician whose technical skill and stylistic expertise are second to none...a time-served folkie of the highest caliber," while Guitar Player simply describes his work as "Breathtaking ".
