49 Franklin to host Nova Scotia Celtic band Coig

RUMFORD — Coig will rock the house to wrap up the 2018 Celtic Cabaret at 49 Franklin with a Christmas concert at 7 p.m. Monday, Dec. 3.

The group has a unique mix of talents. Fiddler Chrissy Crowley has touches of world and contemporary music. Pianist Jason Roach has a jazz degree. Darren McMullen, who plays guitar, banjo and mandolin, has worked everywhere from Irish to rock groups. Fiddler Rachel Davis has folk and roots infused flavors as well.

Their holiday show is appropriate for family and friends.

The group’s debut “Five,” released in June 2014, earned them the 2014 Canadian Folk Music Award for Traditional Album of the Year, the Music Nova Scotia Award for Traditional/Roots Recording of the Year, and the 2015 East Coast Music Award for Roots/Traditional Group Recording of the Year. That was followed by 2015’s “Carols,” a yearly holiday favorite.

Doors open at 5:30 p.m. for seating, socializing, cash-only pub menu and cash bar. Go to the right side of the building and enter on the first level.

Advance tickets are $20 and are available at All That Jazz and Bartash’s in downtown Rumford or online at 49franklin.com. Tickets on Dec. 3 are $25.
