The seven concert series continues every other Sunday through August 24. All concerts begin at 6:00 pm in downtown Putney on the Putney Tavern lawn (bring a lawn chair or blanket) or at Next Stage at 15 Kimball Hill in case of rain.

The concerts are free to the public (donations are accepted) and food will be available.

Inspired by the maritime traditions of North America, Scotland, Ireland, and Scandinavia, Eric McDonald (guitar,mandolin, vocals), Ryan McKasson, (fiddle, viola, vocals), and Jeremiah McLane (accordion, piano, vocals) are innovative interpreters and composers of Celtic roots music. They draw on years of experience performing with the likes of Cantrip, Nightingale, The Clayfoot Strutters, and Alasdair Fraser & Natalie Haas to forge a new musical path as Kalos. Their individual artistry springs from strong traditional roots, and as a trio they move beyond this foundation. They are masters of tradition who purposefully explore the dark corners floating on its edges, delivering an alluring musical complexity full of spontaneity and joyful exuberance. Kalos’ underlying drive and pulse, rhythmic electricity, and swirling intensity transform traditional repertoire into a vital, elemental, genre-transcending sound appealing to music lovers of all stripes. Their music asks to be shared live, and performance is the band’s heart and forte.
