Peaks Island Concerts -Eric Goodman, Emily Troll and Yann Falquet
2026-08-21 19:00 - 20:30 | Fifth Maine Regiment Museum, 45 Seashore Ave, Peaks Island, Maine
Friday, August 21, 7pm Eric Goodman, Emily Troll and Yann Falquet

What brought Emily Troll, Eric Boodman, and Yann Falquet together was a shared love of Québécois traditional music and all the wondrous worlds within it. Bringing together two musicians who came of age in the sessions of Montreal with someone steeped in the powerhouse fiddle scene of New England, this trio will allow you to hear these tunes and songs anew.
All three musicians have long played with other groups—Falquet with Genticorum and Keith Murphy, Troll with Anadama and the Pine Tree Flyers, Boodman with Triga and Jeremiah McLane—and infuse this configuration with a unique sense of spontaneity, depth, and fun.

Peaks Island Concerts -Portland Powerhouse Trio Caitlin Finley, Will Woodson with Neil Pearlman
2026-09-18 19:00 - 20:30 | Fifth Maine Regiment Museum, 45 Seashore Ave, Peaks Island, Maine
Caitlin Finley (fiddle) and Will Woodson (flute, uilleann pipes) play sparky and driving traditional Irish music that’s grounded in the textures and rhythms of the rich Irish-American soundscape of the 1920s and 30s. With roots in the living Irish musical cultures of Boston, New York City, and Philadelphia, and a tremendous admiration for the first generation of recorded Irish musicians, the duo conjures up the sounds of the dance halls, vaudeville theaters, and house sessions central to Irish-American music from the first half of the twentieth century. Their sophomore album, Once Through the Hall, released in May 2026, is a celebration of this music, and features fiery duet playing on uilleann pipes, fiddle, and flute. The entirety of the material is sourced from early wax cylinder and 78 recordings, “echoing the influence of past masters, but delivered in a manner which shows Caitlin and Will are truly masters in their own right” (John McEvoy). The duo have made appearances at the St. Louis Tionól, the Patrick J. Touhey Memorial Weekend in Boston and the Ward Archives “Archiving Irish America” conference in Milwaukee. Additionally, Will has taught at the East Coast Tionól and the Na Píobairí Uilleann Tionól in Termonfeckin, Co. Louth. Most recently, Caitlin and Will appeared at the Cobblestone in Dublin as part of Na Píobairí Uilleann’s concert series, “Session with the Pipers”. The two live in Portland, Maine.

Peaks Island Concerts - An Evening with Alasdair White and Eric Mac Donald
2026-11-06 19:00 - 20:30 | Fifth Maine Regiment Museum, 45 Seashore Ave, Peaks Island, Maine
Alasdair White & Eric McDonald are a duo whose music bridges the deep roots of Scottish tradition with the dynamic pulse of North American folk. Together, they create a sound that is both timeless and adventurous — blending masterful fiddle and expressive guitar in a collaboration marked by nuance, energy, and an abiding respect for tradition.
Alasdair White, originally from the Isle of Lewis in Scotland’s Outer Hebrides, is widely regarded as one of the foremost Scottish fiddlers of his generation. A long-time member of the legendary Battlefield Band, Alasdair has toured the world and recorded with many of Celtic music’s finest artists. His powerful command of west coast Scottish music and his innovative compositions — including the acclaimed An Iuchair — have made him a leading voice in the tradition.
Eric McDonald, based in Montréal and originally from Boston, is a versatile guitarist and mandolinist known for his subtle accompaniment and strong knowledge of traditional music. A former student at Berklee College of Music, he has toured internationally with bands like Cantrip, The Outside Track, The McDades and Kalos, and is a sought-after collaborator in both performance and studio settings. Eric’s background spans Celtic, folk, bluegrass, and classical influences, giving his playing a rich and responsive character.
As a duo, Alasdair and Eric bring decades of shared experience to the stage, weaving together soaring melodies, intricate harmonies, and an intuitive musical dialogue. Their partnership highlights the expressive power of traditional music — rooted, resonant, and vibrantly alive.
