The Gaslight Tinkers fuse global rhythms with New England old-time and Celtic fiddle traditions, creating a joyously danceable sound fueled by melody, song, and boundless energy. Since forming in 2012, the band has lit up stages across the East and West Coasts, and the Caribbean, headlining clubs, dances, and major festivals. The Valley Advocate describes their performances as “music that consistently fizzes and pops with unexpected textures and turns,” delivering delightful surprises, elated crowds, and exuberant musicianship.

Luke Concannon’s music roots trace back to Irish family gatherings filled with guitars, singing, and dancing. As lead singer and co-writer of the UK No.1 chart act Nizlopi—best known for The JCB Song and a key influence on Ed Sheeran—Luke now thrives as a solo artist. His 2022 album Ecstatic Bird in the Burning debuted at No.12 on both the UK and US folk charts, earning widespread acclaim.

Don’t miss this electrifying night where tradition meets innovation, and every beat invites you to dance.
