Badger & Nault Concert

*This is an in-person event that will also be streamed via Facebook Live*

Sponsored by the Southbridge Cultural Council. The Southbridge Cultural Council is a local agency funded by Mass Cultural Council, a state agency.

The Jacob Edwards Library is pleased to welcome Badger & Nault, an old-time acoustic duo based in central Massachusetts featuring banjo, accordion and vocal harmonies.

Together the duo will play a selection of old-time and traditional songs spanning from the 16th century through the early 20th century with a focus on the Scot, Irish and English music that was brought to Appalachia during that time period. Along with the music itself, Badger & Nault are passionate about the song histories, and will discuss the origins of the music they play throughout the performance.

Freddy Badger is an old-time banjo player, guitarist, and singer; in the American/Western European roots music tradition. While he is a native of Ashland, MA, based on his musical style you could easily believe he is from somewhere in the Appalachian Mountains circa 1920.

Bridget Nault is an accordion player, guitarist and singer out of Worcester, MA. She is a Berklee educated musician who has appeared all over the state (and beyond) playing her original songs and performing solo and with different bands.
