The Little Brown Church on Route 32 in Round Pond will present the Celtic inspired maritime folk songs of Castlebay on Wed., Aug. 1, at 7:30 p.m.

The duo treats an audience to a musical journey through time and across the Atlantic as they interweave timeless songs, spritely dance tunes, and haunting aires inspired by the rich Celtic heritage of New England. Exuberant vocals are supported with Julia Lane's award-winning Celtic harp style, and Fred Gosbee's expertise on 12-string guitar, fiddle and woodwinds.

Castlebay has produced more than 24 recordings. Their newest albums include “Islands in Time,” which features songs of the Maine coast, and “Bards & Blarney,” songs, stories and poems in the Irish tradition. They have just released a collection of songs from and about Maine history titled “John Earthy's Tavern.”

The duo tours frequently down the U.S. East coast to Florida, as well as Ireland, Scotland and England, playing at arts centers, museums, festivals and schools.

They often will present concerts highlighting a specific theme with songs and stories from their wealth of history and lore. For more information, visit www.castlebay.net
