8:00PM DYAD

Event information

DYAD came together to play traditional American Old Time music after delving into everything from indie rock and punk to classical and traditional music of various cultures. The Vancouver-based trio of Kori Miyanishi (vocals, banjo, fiddle), Leah Abramson (vocals, guitar) and Mark Beaty (cello, vocals), digs deep into song and instrumental traditions of the Appalachian mountain region of the USA, while incorporating these varied influences and expanding traditional themes into modern arrangements of original, traditional and contemporary song. The band's most recent album, No Pedlars or Preachers, was released in 2006 to enthusiastic international reviews and a Canadian Folk Music Award nomination for Best New/Emerging artist. “Dyad are really something - absolutely beguiling, and their music hooks you from the very start and never lets go.” (David Kidman, NetRhythms)
