Three close friends, having played tunes in many configurations for years, finally assemble in a trio with roots in DC, Boston and Baltimore. Sarah Collins, Marty Frye, and David McKindley-Ward have a shared passion for the tunes, and a shared quest for the balanced lightness and depth of a good groove. With Marty on flute, Sarah on fiddle, and David on bouzouki, this new trio presents their version of Irish music, a sound influenced by an appreciation for old-time and other groovy genres. Sarah grew up in Harvard, graduating from Bromfield in 2010, and is excited to return to town and share her music with family and friends.

Admission: $20 at the door.

In collaboration with the Baltimore Irish Music School, the Baltimore Folk Club will be presenting a concert of traditional Irish music from Marty Frye, Sarah Collins, and David McKindley-Ward.

Hi friends,

We'd like to invite you to a special night of music and community this coming Sunday, November 3 to support relief efforts following Hurricane Helene's devastation of Western North Carolina and the surrounding areas. This concert is the brainchild of our housemate and music instigator extraordinaire Becky Hill who has spent significant time teaching traditional dance in WNC. She has many connections in the region so you can be assured that we're vetting the best organizations to donate to with residents in the region. Moreover, many of the finest local roots musicians are lending their talents and will perform some one-off collaborations. Appalachian music has been such a big part of the HSD series over the past decade. We want to help however we can from afar so we hope you will join us!

DATE: Sunday, November 3rd
PLACE: Brentwood, MD (rsvp for address)
TIME: doors 7pm, show 7:30pm
DONATION: 100% to relief orgs
