Andrea Beaton & Troy MacGillivray - Cape Breton Dance & Concert
Andrea Beaton and Troy MacGillivray return to Watertown to play for a Cape Breton style dance in the authentic social hall atmosphere of the Canadian American Club. This is the opportunity to hear two of the genre's finest musicians in a Downeast setting and dance a Mabou or Boston Set if you wish.
Andrea Beaton comes from a long line of musicians, composers and dancers. She is an award-winning fiddler, tune composer and recording artist who is known for her powerful bow and driving style. She tours and teaches internationally and is in great demand as a teacher at music camps and fiddling/dancing workshops. Andrea has released six solo albums, one duo album with her father, Kinnon Beaton, and published three books of her original tunes. She also recorded an album with her family The Beaton Family of Mabou in 2007 for the Smithsonian Institute. Most of her solo albums were nominated for awards, including her latest, Andrea Beaton with Betty and Dave (2016), and her 2010 CD, Branches, won the East Coast Music Award for Instrumental Recording of the Year. Andrea travels the globe, sharing her culture as well as exploring and writing contemporary tunes. Her music, dance and comical stories are sure to delight any audience.
Troy is an accomplished musician with six CDs and numerous awards and nominations to his credit. A 2017 graduate of University of Limerick with a Masters in Ethnomusicology, Troy previously received the Queen Elizabeth II Diamond Jubilee Medal. Extensive touring has taken him from coast to coast to coast in Canada, to Afghanistan to play for the Canadian military, and to perform at festivals from Cape Breton to Barbados and Shetland to Denmark.
