The 5th annual Susquehanna Folk Festival returns August 9 and will run until August 11. The festival will take place at the Appell Center in downtown York, Pa for a weekend of music, dancing, family activities and more. Peter Winter Lee is the Executive Director of the Susquehanna Folk Music Society. He says the music society is South Central Pennsylvania's grassroots for home and traditional folk music. For Lee, folk music has always been a part of his life. “I play in a Celtic Scottish Americana band with my siblings called seasons, and that's how I really became a part of the folk music scene in central Pennsylvania, playing in that band for close to two decades now.” The artists at the festival will include Cape Breton fiddle, Natalie MacMaster & Donnell Leahy, Texas swing alchemists Hot Club of Cowtown and so many more. This year, the Susquehanna Folk Music Society will be in downtown York, offering programming in both The Studio and The Capitol Theatre of the Appell Center for Performing Arts. “I would encourage anyone to try the festival just to experience different forms of music and, you know, find that you might absolutely love Brazilian drumming or something like that. And just it's an amazing weekend of just an utterly electric musical experience.Support WITF: https://www.witf.org/support/give-now/See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

We now have over 300 kind souls who donate to the podcast each and every month. They collectively pledge over $800 per episode to make this show happen. I was already planning a Celtic Christmas Women episode. But because of that milestone, I decided to turn it into a 2-hour special. Plus, I'm adding another 2-hour special next month. So in this show I'm gonna share Christmas music by women playing Celtic music. That's because women don't get the attention they deserve in the music business in general and in Celtic music either. So I'm gonna highlight these ladies. If you want to find out more about the gender gap in traditional music, check out the non-profit FairPle.

So in this show I’m gonna share Christmas music by women playing Celtic music. That’s because women don’t get the attention they deserve in the music business in general and in Celtic music either. So I’m gonna highlight these ladies. If you want to find out more about the gender gap in traditional music, check out the non-profit FairPle.

Brian Stuepfert of Sacramento, California emailed a photo: "Training for a marathon with celtic and Irish music in my ears." Neill McShea emailed: "Hey man, Just got back from a trip to Asia so I hadn’t actually heard any of the recent podcast. Nice job on the track titles! Sounded like a true Gaeligor!" Thanks also to Neill for helping with my Gaelic pronunciation on many of the recent episodes of the podcasts. Michael Vitagliano emailed: "Hey Mark! My wife and I are listening to episode 430 while driving from Galway to Dublin. It’s our last couple of days on the Emerald Isle and one stop is definitely going to be Cobblestone in Dublin for some amazing live trad tunes. One thing I’ve been surprised about being over here is the lack of cd shops. Back in the States we stream everything, but I understand why artists over here don’t want to be on services like Spotify. We’re going to explore Claddagh Records tomorrow and I’m optimistic we’ll find a pretty solid selection. I don’t know how much more work it is for you, but to include album links in the episodes would definitely help us in finding the artist and knowing which album to purchase. Just throwing that out there. Love the podcast, we’ve been binging it these past two weeks here in Ireland. It’s definitely made the experience that much more special." Joseph Rosenthal emailed: "Hey Marc! I've been listening for about 2 months now and love hearing the diverse styles of Celtic music and helps me expand my knowledge on artists. I was going to email a favorite local Celtic group I listen to religiously during the Maryland Renaissance Festival called The Hooligans, but I'm unsure if you've played them already since you and they've been around for a couple years. Is there a condensed archive of Artists you have shared on your Podcast available? Keep up the good work! And good on you for imploring that no hate comes to your podcast! I like the focus on the positivity!" #celticchristmas #irishchristmas #scottishchristmas

Husband and wife duo Natalie MacMaster and Donnell Leahy are award-winning Canadian fiddle players. Natalie grew up on Cape Breton Island and Donnell grew up in Ontario. They have seven children and, when not out on tour, they work on their cattle ranch. I interviewed Natalie and Donnell when they came to perform at the Washington Center for the Arts.

In today's Worcester Culture Watch, Victor Infante and Richard Duckett run down the region's biggest St. Patrick's Day events, including the Worcester St. Patrick's Day Parade, which has been postponed, and fiddle players Natalie MacMaster and Donnell Leahy, who are set for the Hanover Theatre. Also, Victor reflects on his Irish heritage, and we play a song by Worcester singer-songwriter James Keyes! 

Our 291st episode, which aired on February 17, 2019. Natalie MacMaster & Buddy MacMaster – Scourdiness, Traditional Music from Cape Breton Island Natalie MacMaster & Donnell Leahy – The Chase, One Interview with Donnell Leahy, part one Leahy – Don Messer Medley, Leahy Leahy – Cape Breton Medley, Leahy Interview with Donnell Leahy, part two Natalie MacMaster – Amelia’s Waltz/The Fir Tree/Atholl Brose/The Pondville, Four on the Floor Natalie MacMaster & Donnell Leahy – Cagaran Gaolach, One Natalie MacMaster & Donnell Leahy – The Clog Medley, One Natalie MacMaster & Donnell Leahy – Balkan Hills, One Natalie MacMaster & Donnell Leahy – Hector the Hero, One

Award-winning fiddler Natalie MacMaster (also a mom of seven) talks music, marriage, parenting, faith and her dream collaboration - let's spread the word to make it happen! I also share a meaningful film and the power of a lunchtime walk! It's particularly fun to interview a friend for the podcast (and to do it in person), and Natalie MacMaster fans will enjoy hearing her speak so openly throughout the in-depth episode! You can find more about Natalie MacMaster, Donnell Leahy and their family on their website. Natalie is also on Twitter, Instagram and Facebook, and the MacMaster Leahy Kids' updates are on Instagram and Facebook. Here's my 2011 Momterview with Natalie MacMaster - before we ever met!

About This Episode In 2014 two of the world’s most celebrated fiddlers came together at the Big Top in an evening of traditional fusion, combining the best of French, Celtic and Cajun styles. While electrifying Cape Breton fiddler Natalie MacMaster has collaborated and performed with Alison Krauss, the Chieftans, Paul Simon, Pavarotti and Yo-Yo Ma, Donnell gained a reputation as the spirited and athletic leader of Leahy, the Ontario-based, eight-piece family band bearing his surname. When these two electrifying virtuosos married in 2002, it was a meshing of two of the greatest fiddle players in the world. Says Natalie, “This is very much a family affair.” About Michael Perry Michael Perry is a New York Times bestselling author, humorist and radio show host from New Auburn, Wisconsin.

Tune in for music from Barleyjuice, Natalie MacMaster with Donnell Leahy, The Dubliners Official, The Irish Rovers, The Clancy Brothers AND The Chancey Brothers.
