First Sunday of the International Festival of Arts and Ideas Started with Québécois trio Cecilia. Accordion, fiddle, and a young woman on organ. Celtic fusion with a French twist, these three were built for speed. The instrumentation allowed for fluid segues among ethnicities. They played an Edith Piaf tune at breakneck speed.
The Ebony Hillbillies are an NYC group of pickers that appeared to be in their 70s. They started with a Native American invocation to “honor their elders”. Two female singers and a motley crew of guitar, banjo, bass, washboard gave an authentic string band sound. Good version of the Howling Wolf classic, Spoonful.
