Richard Wood Live! An Evening of Celtic Music

PEI fiddler Richard Wood has released his tenth album (and first live album), Richard Wood Live! An Evening of Celtic Music, via Symphonic Music. It is available now at rwood.ca and on all streaming platforms.

The album was recorded live at the last show of a record-breaking 15th season of Richard Wood’s Evening of Celtic Music series, presented annually at the Sterling Women’s Institute Hall in Stanley Bridge, PEI. From the lively, heart-pounding jigs, reels, and strathspeys to the energy Wood creates during his live performances, and poignant pieces rich in emotion, the listening audience is taken through a taste of what it feels like to be part of his live audience, whose clapping and reactions become part of the overall experience.

The album features Richard Wood on fiddle, Brent Chaisson on guitar and percussion, Kimberley Holmes on keyboard, and Skip Holmes on guitar and bouzouki. Brent Chaisson recorded, engineered, and mastered the album live at Studio Dimanche, with cover and graphic design by Faye Wood.
