The Muses are coming to Casper


The Celtic band The Muses will be in Casper January 16, playing at two venues. From 2-3 p.m., catch them at the Casper Public Library, 307 E. 2nd St. Then, from 7:30-9:00 p.m., they will play a concert at Our Saviour's Lutheran Church, 318 E. 6th St.

Tanya Brody, Matthew Gurnsey, and Lindsay Jensen each play a plethora of exotic instruments ranging from bohdran and concertina to harp and hammered dulcimer; psaltery, pennywhistles, and fiddle to name just a few.

The Muses add new life to old songs as well as adding original material to the Celtic repertoire. Since the moment they chose to blend their voices in song they began captivating the hearts of every audience from Hawaii to Maine, Vancouver to Florida, weddings and pubs to concerts and main-stages at Scottish Games and Celtic Festivals. The Muses perform with a ferocity and a strength of heart that embodies the music they all love so dearly.
