Rakish: Rooted in tradition with an ear toward the future, contemporary folk duo Rakish embodies earnest musical exploration and demonstrates an infectious playfulness on stage. In their sound together, it is evident the two friends share an unbridled love for the traditional sounds of Celtic and American music, and the tight ensemble of a group with years of collaboration under their belt. This amazing duo create and perform music with verve. Recent highlights of their travels include performances at the Library of Congress, Celtic Colours International Music Festival, Prince Edward Island’s Festival of Small Halls, the Corvallis Celtic Festival, and Official Showcases at Folk Alliance International. They have taught at esteemed fiddle camps across the country including Alasdair Fraser’s Sierra Fiddle Camp, Folk College, Katie McNally’s Boston States Fiddle Camp, and Hanneke Cassel’s Pure Dead Brilliant Fiddle Weekend.
Johnny & The Yooahoos: A lot has happened since Johhny and The Yooahoos first took to the stages of southern Germany in 2018. The combo has been welcomed to festivals in France, Ireland, Holland, Austria and Switzerland and, as winners of the IBMA International Band Travel Grant, will now have a five-week tour of the USA in summer 2025 at renowned venues such as the Grand Ole Opry, The Station Inn, ROMP Fest, the Grey Fox Bluegrass Festival, and yes, our stage at the Museum!. The Yooahoos perform with banjo, mandolin, guitar, double bass and three-part vocals, and have remained true to themselves as they celebrate American folk music in their own way. So come, listen and be amazed when “Johnny & the Yooahoos” play!
