Irish Appalachian Fusion Concert with Deborah Silverstein and Claudine Langille

Come hear the music of two trailblazing east coast artists: Deborah Silverstein and Claudine Langille on October 26, 2024, 7pm at Wellfleet’s oldest existing schoolhouse, Pond Hill.

Claudine and Deborah have been immersed in writing, performing and developing musical connections with musicians and audiences up and down the east coast and beyond for the last five decades.

Claudine, who lives in Vermont, learned the exciting Irish flat picking tenor banjo style from Charlie Piggot of De Danann while living in Galway. Best known for her tenor banjo and mandolin playing in Touchstone with Triona Ni Dhomhnaill (Bothy Band), she has written songs that continue to be played internationally. Her most recent releases have been collaborations with The Fiddletree (2 albums) and with Victor Paul, You are my Flower – Songs of the Original Carter Family. Currently playing with Vermont’s Gypsy Reel, she brings to music a warm mix of traditional and original acoustic music from around the world.

Deborah Silverstein is a lifelong singer-songwriter and recording artist. She was a founding member of Boston’s New Harmony Sisterhood Band, whose album “And ain’t I a Woman”, now resides in the Smithsonian FolkLife collection. Her subsequent solo release “Around the Next Bend” was nominated for Boston Music Awards folk album of the year. Her song, Draglines, became an environmental anthem. She has sung with an a cappella quartet, Taproot, women’s ensemble, Shirella, and Band of Erics, who backed her solo 2016 album, “Precious Time”. Currently, she lives in Asheville, N.C. and is focused on the debut of her full length musical drama.
