Lynn Noel & Ken Mattsson: a cappella and dulcimer duo
Striking and soul-stirring harmonies in the English, Nordic, and Celtic traditions. Dance tunes and airs from New England and Michigan to the Maritimes on hammered and mountain dulcimer.
Lynn and Ken sing with depth, power, and passionate attention to the spirit in the song. As experienced dancers of contra, English country, and Scandinavian gammaldans, their duo sound can be described as "ballroom dancing for the voice." They are noted for inspiring strong harmonies and making the rafters ring.
Lynn and Ken offer festival workshops on Vocal Couple Dancing and Power Harmonies. Both have been SRO (standing room only) at the New England Folk Festival for the past three years.
