This Saturday, July 25th at 6:30pm, @lowellfolkfest's Virtual Celebration will present an amazing array of traditional music, including both new and archival concert footage of Lowell Folk Festival artists, available to stream this weekend only! Be sure to check out the 2019 performance by rockabilly guitar phenom Albert Lee!

British-born, Malibu-based guitarist Albert Lee gained acclaim in the 1960s as one of the UK’s top R&B players, and since the 1970s has been one of the top rockabilly guitarists in the world. In England, Lee is a household name, and in Nashville and Los Angeles, he’s long been among the most in-demand session guitarists. Nicknamed “Mr. Telecaster,” he is noted for his fingerstyle and hybrid picking technique, lightning speed, and melodic sensibilities. Over the years, he’s worked with Jerry Lee Lewis, the Everly Brothers, Joe Cocker, Emmylou Harris, Jackson Browne, Bo Diddley, and Eric Clapton, to name just a few. Lee has received many awards, including a Grammy, and was named Best Country Guitarist five consecutive times by Guitar Player magazine.

Keeping the Tradition: A Virtual Celebration of the @LowellFolkFest will showcase three original performances starting at 6:30 this Saturday! Don’t miss a set by giants of Irish traditional music and members of supergroup the Alt, @JohnDoyle1 and @NualaKennedymusic!

Dublin-born, North Carolina-based John Doyle has long been acknowledged as one of the most influential Irish guitarists of his generation. With a signature left-hand picking style, Doyle has invented a whole new way of playing the rhythm for Irish dance tunes. Singer Nuala Kennedy is known for her beautiful vocals and fine flute and whistle playing. From Dundalk, Ireland, an area with historical links to Scotland, she developed an extensive repertoire of Scottish tunes and songs to add to the Irish material she had already mastered. The ballads, tunes, and rediscovered songs Doyle and Kennedy bring to the collaboration reflect their love of the traditional songs that have been a touchstone of Irish identity for generations.

Catch this and other performances at https://www.lowellfolkfestival.org
