8:00 — Wheezer & Squeezer

Jeremiah McLane and Timothy Cummings (a.k.a. Wheezer & Squeezer) present an evening of music from the ‘Old Alliance’ between France and Scotland.  Using accordion, bagpipe, whistle and voices, the duo creates a beguiling blend which utterly subverts the common stereotypes of their Old World instruments. Their repertoire includes dance tunes from Scotland, Central France and Brittany as well as French songs and original compositions reflecting North American influences.
