- **Event Name**: Twilight Music: Kalos plus If You Must Know
- **Event Start and End Date**: Fri, 06 Mar, 2026 at 07:30 pm
- **Event Description**: Kalos is a trio of innovative interpreters and composers of Celtic roots music: Eric McDonald, Ryan McKasson, and Jeremiah McLane. Masters of tradition, they purposefully explore its shadowed edges, delivering music of striking complexity, spontaneity, and joyful exuberance. Their sound sets a high bar for traditional repertoire, driven by a pulsing rhythmic energy and deep artistic integrity.

Each member brings a remarkably diverse musical background. Eric studied jazz and bluegrass mandolin at the Berklee College of Music before finding his voice on DADGAD guitar. Ryan holds a degree in viola performance and is among the youngest musicians ever to win the U.S. National Scottish Fiddle Championship. Jeremiah, raised with Scottish roots, has studied Indonesian gamelan, West African drumming, and the works of minimalist composers Steve Reich and Philip Glass; his award-winning compositions have also been featured in film.

Kalos is a band made for the stage—live performance is their heart and strength. Their close musical partnership, rooted in long-standing friendships, comes alive through an engaging and playful stage presence. Drawing from Celtic, Breton, American, and other traditions, Kalos forges a bold and contemporary path on accordion, guitar, fiddle, and vocals.

While firmly rooted in the rich traditions of Scottish music, If You Must Know (harpist Rachel Clemente and piper Dan Houghton) bring a gritty, avant-garde edge that places them at the forefront of New England’s Celtic folk scene. Both are avid composers, and their repertoire blends original works with traditional melodies. Clemente was crowned U.S. National Scottish Harp Champion in 2016 and earned a bachelor’s degree in traditional Scottish music from the Royal Conservatoire of Scotland in Glasgow in 2018.

Houghton, a Scottish piper, flautist, and DADGAD guitarist, has won numerous competitions, including the Scottish Lowland and Border Pipers’ Society “Open Borderpipes” and “New Composition” events, as well as the St. Chartier “Maître de Cornemuse.” He has toured and taught extensively across Britain, Europe, Ireland, America, Asia, and the Antipodes, performing both as a soloist and with ensembles such as Cantrip, the salsa-fusion band Salsa Celtica, Parcel of Rogues, the Celtic rock band Prydein, and Piper’s Den.
