This month Music in the Lake presents Three Wide Men, playing a combination of original songs and original fiddle tunes, as well as folk and Celtic music, in their casual, laid back fashion.
The Wide Men, individually, are an interesting combination. Les McAdams (vocals, guitar and mandolin) is from Dublin, Ireland. He is a prolific songwriter with a wide repertoire ranging from Celtic to contemporary, and prefers songs that are not heard that often. Denis Wightman (penny whistle, harmonica and bodhran) grew up in Belfast, Northern Ireland. He has a broad background in Scottish and Irish music.Keith Malcom (fiddle) is the band’s token Scot, and his many original tunes are featured by the band.
We felt that a band featuring an Irishman, and Ulsterman and a Scot was particularly appropriate so close to Saint Patrick’s Day.

When: Thursday, March 22, 7:30 p.m. (Open stage followed by feature)
