The Vermont-based duo, Rachel Clemente – a member of harp duo Two Shores and US National Scottish Harp champion (’16) – and Dan Houghton – a member of Cantrip, Pipers’ Den, and former member of Salsa Celtica – bring together an unlikely pairing of bagpipes and harp.
While firmly rooted in the fertile ground of Scottish traditional music, their gritty, avant-garde musical interpretations put them at the forefront of Celtic folk musicians in New England. They are both avid tunesmiths and their repertoire reflects this as it features many original compositions as well as traditional melodies.
