Acclaimed Celtic music trio Kalos brings together three masters of tradition for music full of “pluck, depth, and good reels.” Ryan McKasson (fiddle, viola, background vocals), Eric McDonald (guitar, mandolin, lead vocals), and Jeremiah McLane (accordion, keyboards, background vocals) perform on Tuesday, September 3 at Passim, 47 Palmer St., Cambridge. Tickets $18-$20, livestream $5. Information at 617-492-7679 or Kalos | Passim.
The concert is part of a national tour that also stops in Vermont, New Hampshire, Wisconsin, Illinois, Michigan, California, and Arizona.
Inspired by maritime traditions of Scotland, Northern Ireland, Cape Breton, and Québec, Kalos explores the dark corners on the edge of tradition, creating an alluringly complex sound full of spontaneity. With National Scottish Fiddle Champion McKasson’s virtuosity and expressiveness, McDonald’s eloquent vocals and propulsive guitar, and McLane’s agile accordion and keys, Kalos delivers rhythmic electricity, swirling intensity, and poignant balladry in their heart-stopping performances. Their 2023 release Headland received wide acclaim and placed as a top album on folkradio.org’s folk charts.
