Songs of the Supernatural (for Halloween)

A fall perennial, this show offers homage to the upcoming Halloween holiday, its Druidic roots, and the beginning of the ancient Celtic New Year. The supernatural focus this year is on changelings and a mix of ghosts, witches and fairies, including an exquisite version of the finest fairy ballad, "Tamlyn" by Mike Waterson. We even dipped into bluegrass this year for a few supernatural occurrences.
