NatterjacksCraig Williams, Darcy Nair, Lisa Oberg, Sarah Stepanik.
Two retired Pyrates, a fiddler, and a nice Irish girl walked into a bar... No joke, this group of folk music virtuosos from acclaimed bands The Pyrates Royale, The O’Danny Girls, and The ShamRogues strives to sound more pleasing to the ear than its namesake the rather loud and obnoxious Natterjack toad. Guitar, violin, hammered dulcimer, concertina, flute, percussion, and a chorus of lush vocal harmonies make up the band's rich and innovative sound. You’ll love Natterjacks, warts and all!
Performing: 8/25,26; 9/8,9; 10/6,7,20,21.
