Ridgefield Library Presents Ridgefield Folk with Rani Arbo and Greg Ryan

From the Ridgefield Library:

Rani Arbo is a fiddler, guitarist, songwriter and song collector. She has toured nationally for more than 20 years, most recently with the 15-year-old quartet Rani Arbo & daisy mayhem (Signature Sounds), which frequents folk festivals and performing arts centers from coast to coast.

Now, Arbo offers up a rare duo show with master guitarist Greg Ryan, a versatile musician who specializes in gypsy jazz. In his native Vermont and around New England, Greg performs with his son Aidan as They Might Be Gypsies. On the set list for the duo show are Arbo's wry, reflective originals, as well as traditional and cover songs, from Appalachian ballads to Anais Mitchell and Ray Lamontagne.

Acoustic Guitar Magazine writes, "Arbo is blessed with an unmistakable voice, both light and sultry, with a hint of tremolo and smoke." Together with Ryan's rich, gravelly voice and emotive, powerful guitar, this duo casts a sweet and spooky musical spell.

This program is made possible thanks to the Friends of the Ridgefield Library. Free tickets can be picked up at the door starting at 1 PM on the day of the show. Doors open at 1:30 and the show starts at 2 PM.
