| Aubrey Atwater and Elwood Donnelly along with Cathy Clasper-Torch on fiddle, cello and vocals are well-known for presenting engaging concerts of traditional American and Celtic American folk songs, a cappella pieces, dance tunes, and original works. Elwood, Aubrey and Cathy blend unusual harmonies and play guitar, Appalachian mountain dulcimer, Irish tin whistle, mandolin, old-time banjo, fiddle, and other musical surprises while also featuring Aubrey's amazing clogging and step dance. Their performance is appealing to all ages, and with humor, audience participation and a highly relaxed stage presence, the trio explains song origins to give more relevance to the material. Atwater-Donnelly performs widely in the Northeast and other parts of the United States and their recordings receive international airplay. They have performed and researched folk music extensively throughout the U.S., Ireland, England, and Canada. In addition to 10 recordings, Aubrey has written three books of poetry and a song book. Their ninth recording, "When Winter Calls," was recorded live at the Blackstone River Theatre and was released in late 2005. |
