Manitou Music Festival presents Celtic Fusion ensemble Nessa
From staff reports
The Manitou Music Festival is pleased to welcome Nessa on Sunday, July 17. Nessa, an exciting new Celtic fusion ensemble, led by flutist/vocalist Kelly McDermott, presents a dynamic array of freshly arranged ancient Celtic ballads and folk songs from the U.K. This upbeat band combines classical, jazz, and Irish influences with accents of world music, along with clever, soulful arrangements of classic themes. Nessa is a fun, funky group with depth and color.
“The folk tradition is alive and well in these beautifully crafted, modern interpretations.” Rob Reinhart — Acoustic Café
