RAMBLING HOUSE
Dates: Saturday, March 2, 7:30pm
at the Medina Performing Arts Center

Sunday, March 3, 7:00pm
at the Bop Stop, Cleveland
website

Rambling House melds the heart of Celtic and American folk music with the discipline and sophistication of Baroque music under the direction of Grammy Winning guitarist William Coulter and former Stevie Wonder Band collaborator Edwin Huizinga. Soprano Amanda Powell, of Apollo's Fire notoriety, offers her songs with untethered joy. The presentation of music is accented with the percussive brilliance of modern Irish step dancing as choreographed by Riverdance veterans Brandon Asazawa and Alyssa Reichert. Brian Bigley, purveyor of the ethereal sounds of the uilleann pipes, and Kristen Capp Bigley, violin, are the producers of this show and of A Celtic Christmas, which performed to a thousand people last December at the Medina Performing Arts Center.

In Ireland, the neighbors would pick a house to ramble to in the evenings to share music, dance, and story. It was this setting that bore their humor, charm, and a sense of community and togetherness which is what Rambling House exemplifies. It is a joyful culture rich in spirit and warmth- like a steaming hot mug of Irish Coffee in a neighbor's warm kitchen.

The show makes its debut on Saturday, March 2, 2019 at the beautiful Medina Performing Arts Center. The doors open at 6:30pm and the show starts at 7:30pm. Tickets are $22 - $27. For tickets call the box office at 440-554-2394 or go to www.KBBProductions.net.
