Sunday Arts & Culture Concert: Kyle Carey: Celtic Appalachian Music

Sunday, February 202:00—4:00 PMMerry RoomDuxbury Free Library77 Alden Street, Duxbury, MA, 02332

Join us for a unique afternoon concert with Kyle Carey!

Kyle’s music is a unique fusion of Appalachian and Celtic music she likes to call ‘Gaelic Americana’.

Having learned Scottish Gaelic to the point of fluency–Kyle’s music is an expression and exploration of Appalachia’s Celtic roots. Many critics have likened her to being a mix of Loreena McKennitt and Alison Krauss.  Kyle has released two full-length albums, and her third ‘The Art of Forgetting’ (which was recorded in Louisiana and produced by Dirk Powell) features folks like Rhiannon Giddens, John McCusker and Mike McGoldrick. The album was released on the World Music Network’s Riverboat Records out of London–who through Redeye in the US–charted at #9 on Billboard’s Heatseeker’s Northeast Chart. PopMatters named the album one of the ’20 Best Folk Albums of 2018’

Kyle is the daughter of non-fiction author Richard Adams Carey and a Fulbright scholar with a degree in literature. She began with an English degree from Skidmore College, followed by a year-long Fulbright fellowship on Cape Breton Island, and finally a year of Gaelic immersion on the Isle of Skye. Kyle has performed her distinctive brand of literary Celtic music at libraries across the country since she began her professional career.
