Natalie Padilla & Quinn Bachand
June 15 @ 7:00pm
The Elling House Arts and Humanities Center invites you to join us, 15 June 2024 at 7:00 PM, for an evening of acoustic folk music as Natalie Padilla & Quinn Bachand play music from their 2023 album “Montana Wildflower.” You can also expect some vintage swing songs, traditional Celtic tunes, and more of Natalie’s original music.
Montana Wildflower is an instrumental fiddle album of mostly original Celtic and old timey tunes, named after wildflowers found in Montana. The album is a collaboration of Natalie Padilla, composer and fiddle player, and Quinn Bachand, Canadian multi-instrumentalist, engineer and producer. Bluegrass Today commented that “Natalie is a rarity in the fiddle world, being equally as adept at folk, bluegrass, Celtic, and old-time music, as she is with the classical repertoire as a violinist. Her original music has consistently showed the same breadth and depth, exploring sounds of every sort with her instrument.”
With diverse musical talents and a bottomless pool of creativity, Quinn Bachand is recognized as the “Young Lion” of the Celtic guitar (Daniel Lapp) and “Canada’s top Celtic guitarist” (Ashley MacIsaac). Although Quinn plays a range of styles that include jazz and bluegrass, it is his talents in the world of Celtic music that are drawing the most attention. His virtuosic playing is more than eye-catching fret-board fireworks. A gifted and creative guitar player, Quinn adds a contemporary edge to traditional Celtic music. His unique harmonies, hard-driving strumming, inventive chord voicing and powerful rhythmic effects make even the most well-worn tunes seem new and exciting. An in-demand sideman, Quinn has also toured nationally and internationally with well-known musicians including Canadian fiddling icons Ashley MacIsaac and Natalie MacMaster.
“…All in all, Montana Wildflower is a tour-de-force, a great shop-window for Natalie Padilla’s strong compositional abilities and the masterful playing and strong musical rapport shared by herself and Quinn Bachand.” – Bob Leslie (Fatea, UK)
