Jeremiah McLane and Tim Cummings on AWII, March 25
By Folk Department
Jeremiah McLane and Tim Cummings, affectionately nicknamed “Wheezer & Squeezer“, will stop by WTJU this Saturday morning at 11:30 (edt) to close out Atlantic Weekly II with some bagpipe and accordion. Later that evening they will be putting on a concert at Charlottesville Friends Meeting House. (Details)
Jeremiah McLane and Timothy Cummings are a high-powered, Vermont-based duo who share music deeply rooted in the traditional dance repertoire of Northern Europe and North America. Wielding an accordion and bagpipes (and often whistles and piano), they create a beguiling blend which utterly subverts the common stereotypes of their Old World instruments. McLane and Cummings —affectionately nicknamed “Wheezer & Squeezer”— draw from a broad repertoire that includes bourrées from Central France, gavottes from Brittany in Northwestern France, dance tunes from the Scottish Border region, and original compositions reflecting North American influences. This rare, captivating duo commands both feet and spirits to dance!
