ROBERT RYAN AND DOMINIQUE DODGE

Friday, Oct. 23 at 7:30 p.m. — TINMOUTH — Husband and wife duo Dominique Dodge and Robert Ryan breathe vivid life into timeless songs and melodies from Ireland and Scotland on Irish harp and fiddle. See them live at the Old Tinmouth Firehouse on Friday, Oct. 23 at 7:30 p.m. Come prepared for an evening of heartrending songs, raucous dance tunes, and haunting airs.

Raised in an Irish family in England, Robert Ryan has been playing the fiddle and whistle since his earliest days, gathering songs along the way. Dominique Dodge, a harper and singer from northern New Hampshire, holds degrees in both Scottish and Irish Music. She spent childhood summers immersed in the vibrant musical culture of Cape Breton Island.

The Old Firehouse is in downtown Tinmouth at the intersection of Vt. 140 and Mountain View Road, 5 miles west of the U.S. 7 stoplight in Wallingford. Doors open at 7 p.m. A suggested donation of $10 goes mainly to the performers. Local groups furnish refreshments to raise funds for activities.
