The highly acclaimed husband-wife duo, Aubrey Atwater and Elwood Donnelly, will perform at the Tiverton Meeting House at 6 p.m. on Saturday, Oct. 22. The duo present delightful programs of traditional American and Celtic folk songs, a capella pieces, old-time gospel songs, dance tunes, and original works. Elwood and Aubrey blend gorgeous and unusual harmonies and play guitar, Appalachian mountain dulcimer, mandolin, tin whistle, harmonica, banjo, bones, spoons, limberjacks, and other surprises, including Appalachian clog dancing and French Canadian footwork.

Their performance is appealing to all ages, and with humor, audience participation, and a relaxed stage presence, Aubrey and Elwood explain song origins to create a deeper understanding of the music and its cultural history.

Aubrey and Elwood are joined by Cathy Clasper-Torch, who adds a deeply rich third dimension with fiddle, cello, Chinese erhu and vocals. The most recent addition to Atwater~Donnelly is Erin Lobb Mason on vocals and double bass. Erin studied bass performance at Oberlin Conservatory. Originally from Louisville, Kentucky, and now living in Rhode Island, Erin also performs locally with the folk trio, The Whelks.
