Music at the Market - The Kelpies

Driving, dreamy, and deeply dimensional, The Kelpies are a West Philadelphia-based duo performing authentic Irish traditional music with modern style. Fiddler Melissa Lisbao and guitarist Alec Charon bring together their unique backgrounds as trained classical and jazz musicians to explore new tensions and timbres within the trad idiom. From private events, house concerts and libraries to contra dances and festivals, the Kelpies bring their passion for Irish music to audiences in Philadelphia and beyond, one string at a time.
