Music on the Green
What: Putting a fresh spin on traditional Celtic music, the Jordan TW Trio delivers a dynamic show full of lively fiddle tunes, haunting airs and classic sing-alongs. Canterbury native Jordan Tirrell-Wysocki (a N.H. State Council On The Arts Master Artist and winner of Best Fiddler from NH Magazine) is joined by Matt Jensen on guitar and Chris Noyes on upright bass. Their blend of Celtic songs with their own original material has become a staple of the New Hampshire music scene over the last decade, drawing on multiple genres to produce a unique sound that has been described as a “larger-than-life” and “brisk, lean and exceedingly lovely.”
