We tried desperately hard to have them come last year... Fortunately the stars aligned and we are able to host Boréal Tordu in Millbrook this Saturday!
This may be the most unique group we'll have this summer. They are traveling from Maine for this concert. We're positive that you'll enjoy it.
A brief description from their website: Boréal Tordu began when fiddler Steve Muise and singer Robert Sylvain discovered a mutual interest in the music of their shared Acadian heritage. While signs of their parents' French culture can still be found in Maine, it was almost lost to their generation, after years of forced assimilation. More than a revival, their music represents a continuation of musical traditions passed down from the Acadians, the Québécois, and the unique French-speaking people of the the Republic of Madawaska and milltowns all over New England.
