Melding unparalleled virtuosity with an introspective sensibility, Nic Gareiss and Alexis Chartrand trace, with disarming spontaneity, their path across French Canadian, Appalachian and Irish traditions.

“Rather than blindly obey the traditions of the past, Gareiss & Chartrand seek to be in dialogue- “not a quarrel," they say sardonically at one point, "but more of a lover's tiff.” This dancer-musician duo clearly love and respect the forms and meanings of the past, but simultaneously seek to find their own identity within this lineage: to contribute rather than merely interpret.”
