DAN HOUGHTON AND FRIENDS

Tickets: $14 General / $12 Students and Seniors
Ticket reservations and info: 802-254-9276

Twilight Music presents an evening of Scottish and Irish tunes and songs by Dan Houghton and Friends. Separated temporarily from his Edinburgh-based group, Cantrip, Dan promises an evening of powerful traditional music with his New England friends.

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.

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.
