Music presents an evening of Scottish and Irish tunes and songs
by Dan Houghton and Friends. Separated temporarily from his Edinburgh-based

| Dan
Houghton (highland and border bagpipes, flute, whistles, voice)
grew up surrounded by Scottish traditional music and started his
musical career playing the whistles and viola at age seven. He has
been fingering the pipes and flute for the last seventeen years,
and has played and taught throughout Europe, Asia, the US and the
Antipodes.
Houghton's
high energy, twin fiddle/bagpipe band, Cantrip, wowed audiences
with their virtuoso musicianship at the New World Festival in
Randolph, VT, the Celtic Classic Festival in Bethlehem, PA and
at Hooker-Dunham Theater & Gallery, as part of their 2007
US tour. While firmly rooted in the Scottish tradition, Cantrip's
music takes influences from, and excursions into, music from the
Scandinavian, Balkan, Basque, Breton and Québécoise
traditions. Dan has also played with the New Zealand Irish band,
Blackthorn, and more recently he has been half of several musical
duos in Europe, including Musion, ASBO Duo and The Boussens Which
Project.
Besides
playing for concerts, Dan is a successful dance piper, and has
performed for both Scottish Highland and Country dancing throughout
Scotland and Europe. When not on the road or in the air, Dan divides
his time between Scotland and Marshfield, VT, where he teaches
Bagpipes at Vermont Institute of Celtic Arts.

THE GODS OF THE HILLS
Tickets: $8
Ticket reservations and info: 802-254-9276
|
 |
| Calais,
VT actor Jim Hogue brings Ethan Allen to life in his one-man show
about the Green Mountain hero. The Gods of the Hills is a compelling
military history from the commanding officer of the capture of Fort
Ticonderoga, an imprisoned rebel bound for the gallows, a witness
to the starvation and murder of American prisoners, and a philosopher
who saw the opportunities for liberty and public good on the one
hand and for servitude on the other. He was the leader of the Green
Mountain Boys who, with them, carved out the Republic of Vermont.
Jim
Hogue is an actor who has appeared in several films, and on stage
with various theatres in Vermont. He created Cabaret Shakespeare,
writes for Vermont Commons, and has a weekly radio program. He
has performed The Gods of the Hills at The Ethan Homestead, The
Vermont History Expo, the Vermont State House, Bread and Puppet
Theatre and First Night Burlington.
Jim
Hogue is brilliant as Ethan Allen. The Vermont History Expo audience
was entranced by the presence of their iconic hero. --
Sarah Dopp, Vermont Historical Society President
Jim Hogue makes Ethan Allen come alive an inspiration
to Vermonters of the 21st Century.
-- Dr. Thomas Naylor, founder of Second Vermont Republic.
"Jim Hogue has the fire and panache to re-engage us with
our revolutionary roots. The phrases of Ethan Allen and other
revolutionaries remind us that our zeal must be laced with truth,
reason, and gentlemanly respect."
-- Dave Lewit, editor of Boston/Cambridge Alliance Dispatch

Twilight
Music is pleased to continue its monthly comedy series by presenting
a couple of real stand-up guys:
Tony Moschetto, with Mike Del Lano.
Tony
Moschetto is one of the most uniquely hilarious comedians in the
United States. Standup comedy has literally taken him around the
world, as he's performed not only in Boston and New England, but
in New York City, Los Angeles, London and Beijing, China. He's
been featured on Comedy Central, and his quirky manner and unique
point of view one of the most unique comedians in the country.
He's also an award-winning filmmakers, with a short featured at
the AngelCiti Film Festival in Los Angeles, and another that won
the audience choice award at the 2004 Boston Comedy Festival.
Opening
the evening will be Mike Del Lano. Mike was born and raised on
the grumpy streets of Lowell, Massachusetts. He began doing comedy
in 2002, squeezing in open-mic nights around bartending shifts.
Since then he has played clubs and theaters all over New England,
always returning to his adopted town of Boston and occasionally
to Lowell. Over the years he has crafted his unique brand of stand-up.
His act combines true stories from his life with observations
on politics, culture, tomorrow's forecast and some nonsense he
dreamed about last night.
It's
been a long week... you need a good laugh. Find it on the 24th
at HDT&G.
