FIRST FRIDAY CONCERT SERIES: MATTHEW DECHANT
Join us at the Neenah Public Library on Friday, February 7, 2025, at 2:00 PM for a fantastic concert with Matthew DeChant! Described as “one of the many young people breathing life and energy into traditional music, join Matthew for an afternoon of folk songs from Wisconsin and afar.”
“Hailing from the rust belts of Wisconsin, Matthew DeChant is a modern musician on the forefront of the current traditional folk/roots renaissance. Taking inspiration from modern trad-folk giants such as Lankum and Rhiannon Giddens, as well as genre-benders like the Dreadnoughts and Gogol Bordello, DeChant takes traditional songs from all over North America and Europe and interprets them in his own high-energy alternative style. Performing mainly on Irish bouzouki (a type of Irish folk guitar), he plays traditional and original tunes as well as covers of folk classics. Matthew is currently coming off his third release The Windjammer EP, a mix of original and traditional songs which explore maritime culture and Wisconsin’s local history.”
The concert will take place in the Shattuck Community Room. All interested individuals are welcome to attend this free event. If accommodations are needed to attend, please contact the library at least 24 hours in advance of the program.
