Richard WOOD Live! An Evening of Celtic Music
Richard Wood
Richard Wood’s 10th album, and first live album, Richard WOOD Live! An Evening of Celtic Music will be released on April 12.
From the lively, heart-pounding jigs, reels, and strathspeys and the energy Wood creates through them at his live performances to poignant pieces rich in emotion, the listening audience gets a taste of what it’s like to be a part of his live audience, whose clapping and reactions become part of the overall experience.
“Some of these live pieces are very emotionally connected and meaningful to me,” says Wood.
The album was recorded live by Brent Chaisson of Studio Dimanche at the last show of a record-breaking 15th season of Wood’s “Evening of Celtic Music,” presented annually at the Sterling Women’s Institute Hall in Stanley Bridge, PEI. Chaisson also engineered and mastered the album. It features Richard Wood (fiddle), Brent Chaisson (guitar, percussion), Kimberley Holmes (keyboard), and Skip Holmes (guitar, bouzouki).
