PLAINFIELD — The Celtic fusion band, Cantrip, performs live Friday, May 9, 7 p.m., at the Plainfield Opera House.
With a name drawn from an old Scots word for a magic spell or piece of mischief, Cantrip’s music is a brew of border pipes, fiddle, guitar and three voices.

Forming out of a local session in Edinburgh nearly two decades ago, Cantrip quickly gained a following with their blend of Celtic roots and modern influences.
Dan Houghton (pipes, whistles, flutes, guitar, bouzouki, vocals), Jon Bews (fiddle, vocals), Alasdair White (fiddle), and Eric McDonald (guitar, mandolin, bouzouki, vocals) bring years of touring and musical exploration to the stage, weaving tradition and innovation into their performance.
Tickets are available online and at the door by donation. For more information, visit plainfieldartsvt.org or contact [email protected].
