GRAMMY® Award-winning artist Aoife O'Donovan operates in a thrilling musical world beyond genre, mixing folk, bluegrass, blues, and beyond into a lean-in, must-listen brew so mesmerizing the listener has to remember to breathe. She has curated a day of music and workshops culminating in an evening of performances featuring two Virginia-based artists: from Alexandria, the utterly unique instrumentalist, singer-songwriter Yasmin Williams, whose finger-style guitar-playing creates complex rhythms for songs old and new; and The Wildmans, a Floyd-based band, steeped in the Appalachian mountain music tradition. Closing out the performances, Aoife will be joined on stage by her husband cellist Eric Jacobsen, music director of the Virginia Symphony Orchestra.
