the kate

Mon, Sep 23 4:30 P.M. NH Explore (11.2)

A boundary-breaking postmodern mix of sublime virtuosic vocals on ancient Irish and traditional Celtic folk, original pop, and Irish rap songs, Owen and MÃcheal "Moley" O Suilleabhain are troubadour brothers - part Smothers Brothers and part Clancy Brothers - with a wicked sense of humor and a skill for depth. They are the sons of renowned musical parents who valued all music and cultures on an equal stage, and Owen and Moley's performance embodies that philosophy. From the millennia-old Celtic "keening" songs to "Wild Mountain Thyme (Go Lassie Go)" to Van Morrison's "Moondance," Owen and Moley deliver wisdom, tears, and laughs.

About The Kate:

THE KATE is a new national music series with artistic cred and a bit of edge, infused with the essence of the unabashed, spirited Katharine Hepburn.

The headline-heavy first season features artists who follow the Hepburnian philosophy that "If you obey all the rules, you miss all the fun.

" Ann Wilson, Rickie Lee Jones, and former Saturday Night Livestar Ana Gasteyer, are all breaking new ground in their already-established careers during THE KATE performances.

These artists are iconoclasts, and their performances capture a particular feeling, an artistic vibe located just outside of the mainstream: Rock and Roll Hall of Famer Ann Wilson pushes her Heart aside and sings the blues; Rickie Lee Jones speaks openly about growing older in the music world; Gasteyer takes a turn as a sassy singer, weaving in comedic moments throughout.

The intimacy of the venue means that THE KATE performers have a risky closeness to their material--and their audience.

British song interpreter Barb Jungr and Broadway star Jarrod Spector round out the season, with the final artist to be announced soon.

Insightful interviews with the performers open each episode, taped live at the Katharine Hepburn Cultural Arts Center, an intimate 250-seat venue in Old Saybrook, Connecticut.
