Events in the Town of Amherst

Join Ayreheart — Heather Aubrey Lloyd (vocals and acoustic guitar), Ronn McFarlane (lute), Willard Morris (colascione, electric bass, and violin), and Mattias Rucht (percussion) — at Second Stage | Amherst! A progressive, renaissance-folk quartet founded by GRAMMY-nominated lutenist Ronn McFarlane, Ayreheart restores the lute to its former glory, but in a modern context. With backgrounds in rock, folk, and jazz, the members of Ayreheart bring fresh energy to old traditions. Renaissance meets traditional roots meets contemporary folk; this is lute-driven music for modern folk in a unique blend of lute with vocals, colascione (a kind of bass lute), violin, guitar, and percussion.
