The Duhks w/ Red Heart the Ticker

Next Stage 15 Kimball Hill, Putney, VT

Next Stage Arts Project and Twilight Music present Winnipeg, Canada-based roots music quintet The Duhks at Next Stage on Saturday, November 9 at 7:30 pm.  The Grammy nominated and Juno award-winning band’s original members - Jessee Havey (vocals), Tania Elizabeth (fiddle), Jordan McConnell (guitar, pipes, whistles, vocals), Leonard Podolak (banjo, vocals) and Scott Senior (percussion) - have reunited after a three-year hiatus.  Vermont-based, Americana, folk and roots music duo Red Heart The Ticker will open the show.
