Laura MacKenzie with Gary Rue
A sparkling and original duo, rooted in tradition, presenting a rich tapestry of marvelous music. Offering concerts and community programs.
On stage with Gary Rue, Laura draws upon her great wealth of tunes and songs from Ireland, Scotland, Cape Breton, Central France and Northern Spain, performing on a splendid array of wind-powered instruments, including wooden flutes, whistles, concertina, voice, and unusual bagpipes, both bellowed and blown. With grace and charm, her versatility shines.
With his full-throated, melodic guitar style and vocal contributions, Gary Rue perfectly compliments MacKenzie's musical prowess. He brings a rich and bountiful background of artistry and composition to traditional "Celtic" music, ensuring an extraordinary duo performance.
When MacKenzie and Rue join forces, when pop sensibilities and traditional artistry come together, something wonderful happens: an intensely melodic profusion of sound…. a hybrid of flutes in full flight ~ voices that lilt and soar ~ percussive, persuasive guitar ~ and hold-on-to-your-hats piping, delivering an evening (or an afternoon) of sustained musical elegance.
