Teresa Doyle & The Curious Crow
Thursday, June 30th 2022
7:30pm
Teresa Doyle is a vocal explorer with a lifelong passion for pushing the boundaries of her voice. She’s endlessly experimenting with new vocal colours, extended vocal techniques, and vocal textures from other cultures. Her exploration has taken her around the world singing with Kenyan farm women, a Japanese lute player, Tibetan overtone singers, Soca musicians from Tobago, improvisers in New York, South Indian yogis, traditional Gaelic singers from Ireland, and folk musicians from the Yukon Territory to the Blue Ridge Mountains. Her repertoire reflects her journey but is always firmly rooted in the Celtic music and stories of her native Prince Edward Island.
The Curious Crow performs original songs set in the styles of traditional and contemporary Maritime folk. Blending three-part harmonies over tasteful acoustic guitar and fiddle arrangements, they deliver an engaging performance with the sincerity of a storyteller that has lived to tell the tale. The PEI trio consists of singer Keith Mullen, guitarist Rob Drew and fiddler Ward MacDonald.
