Search - Atwater-Donnelly :: Weaver's Bonny

Ever growing and expanding, award-winning vocal, instrumental, and dance artists Aubrey Atwater and Elwood Donnelly have outdone themselves again with this, their eleventh CD. Joined by their talented friends Cathy Clasper-Torch, Kevin Doyle, John and Heidi Cerrigione and son, Uriah Donnelly, you will hear compelling, emotionally-charged vocals accompanied by banjo, fiddle, guitar, mountain and hammered dulcimers, tin whistle, mandolin, cello, autoharp, piano, bass and percussion. Those who have followed Atwater-Donnelly over their 22-year career know that Aubrey and Elwood are constantly exploring the archives of American folk music and dance, and putting their own stamp on the tradition. Here is a stunning collection of cherished old songs, as well as two original songs by their dear friend Daniel Dutton, and some astonishing footwork by Aubrey and world-class dancer Kevin Doyle. Enjoy this dazzling journey into the musical world of our foreparents filled with love, longing, betrayal, separation, conflict, joy and triumph!
