An Evening with Mason - Raney - Weed

Open Celtic session 6:30 hosted by the band
Concert at 8:00

New Celtic trio Mason-Raney-Weed will bring their dynamic Celtic sound to St. Mary's by the Sea in Pacific Grove. Guitarist Stuart Mason, Celtic singer Colleen Raney, and local fiddler John Weed will present a lively selection of pure-drop tunes and songs from Ireland and Scotland. Their repertoire is a perfect balance of uplifting dance tunes and heart-tugging ballads.

John and Stuart are members of Molly's Revenge, a dynamic, acoustic Celtic band known for its unique and infectious enthusiasm. Molly's Revenge has performed at many of the top folk festivals and performing arts events in the USA, and prestigious events in Australia, Scotland, and China. They have performed on stage with John Doyle, Liz Carroll, Aaron Jones, and other top Celtic artists.

Among the best young Celtic singers of her generation, Colleen Raney is inspired by the Irish and Scottish songs and tunes that she grew up with as a member of the multi-talented Raney family and alongside the world renowned harp and dulcimer duo Magical Strings. Through her gorgeous voice and deft arrangements, Colleen breathes new life into the old songs, bringing out new facets to the music that haven't been heard before.

A portion of the proceeds will benefit St. Mary's Food Pantry. Our last event, a Molly's Revenge benefit concert for the Homeless Women of the Monterey Peninsula, raised over $900.
