A contemporary folk fusion featuring old-time tunesmithing, world-beat percussion, and three-part vocal power.
Immersed in the joy of northern New England’s rich musical traditions, Vermont’s WAGTAIL fuses the well-loved sounds of fiddle, guitar and mandolin with percussion and fine vocals, bringing to the stage a blend of American song-styles, Celtic melodies, three-part harmonies and world-beat rhythms galore. With original writing as their foundation, WAGTAIL offers a fresh approach to traditional music that’s fun, funky and deeply moving.
Wagtail's recently released (June 2007) debut CD "One Clear Moment" is getting statewide radio play in Vermont, and hitting local "top seller" lists. During the pause in snowfall, we've been around Vermont's finest outdoor venues from Ludlow to Marshfield, with a highlight performance on the Lakefront Stage at the 2007 Champlain Valley Folk Festival.
We're bringing a new member, another fiddle player/vocalist for this Fall 2007, and are featuring new material plus songs from "One Clear Moment" at our live shows.
