Join us for a night with former locals Joe and Paula McHugh!
Rosin the Bow explores the many roles the violin family of instruments play in the world today through a series of public radio programs, podcasts, and a comprehensive oral history. Traveling throughout the United States and other parts of the world, storyteller, fiddler, and award-winning radio journalist Joe McHugh and his wife Paula McHugh seek out interviews with violin makers, dealers, restorers, auctioneers, tone wood producers, insurance agents, museum curators, rosin makers, bow hair importers, string manufacturers—even police officers who have played a part in recovering stolen violins. The McHughs also interview gifted musicians who perform a variety of musical genres from classical and folk to jazz and rock.
Join the McHughs for a lively evening of stories, music, and other "notable" surprises as they share what they learned during their travels. They will also perform an assortment of fiddle and banjo duets and Celtic slow airs plus share stories drawn from the rich musical folklore of America, Scotland, Ireland, and Scandinavia.
This event will take place after hours at the library but patrons are encouraged to come early and stay late! Light refreshments will be served.
