A varied night of music with two focal points: new releases and two sets from artists appearing at this weekend’s 18th annual Northeast Music And Dance (NOMAD) Festival in New Haven.
In the new release segments, the spotlight moves to a right-on album by the Troublesome Creek String Band; a marvelously creative collaboration that matches Celtic artists with mostly bluegrass and country artists for a benefit album to aid the survivors of the South Asia tsunami, and releases from the United Kingdom of teenage button accordion phenom Harriet Bartlett of Scotland and British vocalist standout Kate Rusby.
National folk treasures Sandy & Caroline Paton from upstate Connecticut and Massachusetts’ songstress Diane Taraz are among scores of artists appearing at NOMAD.
