Music Under the Stars: Keith Murphy & Becky Tracy, with Armand Aromin & Ben Gagliardi

The 2026 Music Under the Stars concert series presented by the Brattleboro Music Center and Retreat Farm concludes Saturday, August 22, with Celtic Night.
Once again, Keith Murphy and Becky Tracy will host a beautiful and exciting night of Celtic music. Their special guests this year are Armand Aromin and Ben Gagliardi, a traditional song and playing powerhouse from Rhode Island. They are a leading force in their local scene but also beloved in the larger trad music world and are no strangers to Brattleboro, where they have been favorites at the Northern Roots Festival.

With driving Irish tunes on fiddles, concertina, mandolin and guitar, plus great songs and more musical surprises, the collaboration of these two duos will make for a fun and delightful evening.

Admission is free with donations welcome. Gates open at 5:30 p.m. at Retreat Farm, 45 Farmhouse Square, Brattleboro, with the concert at 6:30 p.m. All are welcome to bring lawn chairs and a picnic dinner. Vernon Creamie and Letty’s Besitos Authentic Tacqueria will be on site. No outside alcohol is permitted, but beverages are available for purchase on site. Please leave your dog at home unless they are a service animal.
