These Three Shores (2005)
With These Three Shores, Kate and Chuck take a new step in their journey of redefining Celtic and Old-time music.
Kate's original tunes are melodically beautiful, haunting, and complex.
Drummer, Tom Rush, and bass player, Glenn Colby, bring out the elements of
rock and jazz in the musical arrangements. David Manski joins in
with his banjo and bass, adding tasteful touches of the Old-time traditions.
The music on These Three Shores is inspired by K&C's studies
during the past three years in Ireland, Cape Breton, and Maine.
However, they do not attempt simply to document the traditions;
they rework them into something exciting and new.
This is not a traditional album.
