SOUTH CARTHAGE & RANGELEY — New England Celtic Arts will host the dynamic Boston Based acoustic quintet "Annalivia" at Skye Theatre Performing Arts Center in South Carthage on Wednesday, March 25, and at the Lakeside Theater in Rangeley on Thursday, March 26 with the concerts starting at 7 p.m. at both theaters. A pre-show jam will start at 6:15 at Skye Theatre; bring your instruments and join in. Reservations are strongly suggested at both venues.

Annalivia is one of the latest hip young alt-traditional bands to emerge from the potent Boston fiddle music scene. The acoustic quintet features the beautiful voice of Liz Simmons, a protégé of famed Irish singer Karan Casey. Fiddle champions Brendan Carey Block and Emerald Rae, guitarist/vocalist Flynn Cohen, and bass player/banjo picker Stuart Kenney joins Liz. Together, their music combines Anglo-Celtic ballad singing and fiddle music traditions with their North American counterparts— Appalachia and Cape Breton- all with a groove-centric contemporary flair.

Skye Theater is located 3 miles West of East Dixfield village at 2 Highland Drive off Winter Hill Rd. and US Route 2 in South Carthage. Lakeside Theater is on Main Street in Rangeley. Ticket price is $10 at the door.
