The diverse musical pedigree of The Duhks offers something for just about all music lovers — melodic and rhythmic influences from traditions including old-timey, French-Canadian and Celtic, blues and soul, and Cajun and Afro-Cuban.
The award-winning Canadian band, with its distinctive vocalists and instruments including fiddle, steel guitar, bouzouki, banjo and percussion, is often described as neo-folk, world-beat and even “neo-tradster.” They are bringing that melange of sounds to the Winthrop Barn on Feb. 6.
In the 13 years of its career, the band (pronounced “ducks”) has honed an original sound. Their diverse line-up includes alluring vocal harmonies and instrumentals that show off their deft musicianship, lively numbers like upbeat Cajun gallops, and more sentimental waltzes and lullabies.
The Duhks’ most recent album, Beyond the Blue, was named one of 2014’s top-10 folk and Americana albums by Folk Alley.
Methow Arts is bringing The Duhks to the Barn. The show starts at 7 p.m. Tickets are $27 for a reserved seat (in the first five rows, for all ages). General-admission tickets for those 15 and older are $18 in advance and $21 at the door. All general-admission tickets for those 14 and under are $5.
