Shannon & Matt Heaton

press release: Fun and engaging stage presence, and masterfully-crafted music are only some of the attributes we can use to describe the next guests at the Rural Musicians Forum 2018 Season. As with all of the season 2018 artists, this duo will share their love and passion for Irish music for the first time with the RMF audience. With flute and guitar instrumentals, and sweet husband-and-wife harmony singing, Boston-based Matt & Shannon Heaton draw deeply from the Irish tradition.

The Heatons are passionate American performers with Irish roots and universal appeal, but they also weave in Thai traditional music Shannon learned as a child. Beyond the music they play, there is a much bigger story and connection to Ireland. As Shannon states “a traditional music concert tells big, universal stories, through an Irish music lens.”

Get ready for a fun and personal concert where Matt and Shannon will introduce selections from the stage. They engage with the audience and each other, with their love of traditional music and their sense of musical variety and fun. You don’t have to play the fiddle or dance a jig to enjoy the Heatons!

This concert will take place on Monday, July 30 at 7:30 PM at Unity Chapel, located at 6597 County Hwy T, Spring Green. Admission is by free will offering.
