The Dashing Rock Trio, based on the isle of Nahant in Boston Harbor, explores the music of the Celtic nations and beyond with varied instrumentation, including fiddle, nyckelharpa, flute, whistle, guitar, accordion, Scottish smallpipes and voice. Elizabeth Ketudat, Dave Cabral, and Sarah MacConduibh have performed together for decades in multiple ensembles. They bring their deep friendship and experience to Dashing Rock’s unique sound, a blend of tradition with fresh interpretations.
The trio performs at festivals, concerts, and private events, as well as intimate venues. Whether on a grand stage or a cozy local venue, Dashing Rock brings vibrant energy and rich tradition to every performance.
