Emerald Rae to perform 6 On The Square’s first 2020 show

OXFORD – Fiddler and folk singer Emerald Rae will make her 6 On The Square debut at 7:30 p.m. Saturday, Jan. 11.
Hailing from the fishing community of Gloucester, Massachusetts, Rae is both a small-town girl steeped in cherished folk traditions and a world-class artist breaking new ground with inventive fiddle effects.
A degree in film scoring from the Berklee College of Music in Boston gave her the freedom to cast a wide creative net, while her grit and intensity was earned during her 20-year career as a fiddler and dancer.
Rae embarked on her first journey into songwriting and multi-instrumentalism with “If Only I Could Fly” (2013), featuring her prowess on fiddle, vocals, guitar and the crwth (an ancient Welsh fiddle pronounced “krooth”), and she took to the road from the Canadian Maritimes to Shanghai.
Along the way, she was chosen as a Falcon Ridge Folk Festival Emerging Artist.
Zeroing in on the synergy of voice and fiddle, the self-produced, self-titled album “Emerald Rae” (2018) saw her transform the fiddle into anything from bagpipes to flamenco or electric guitar, slap bass or ukulele.
Her take on a sea shanty, “Deep Salt Sea” kicks off the record with edgy soundscapes, “When the Silvery Moon Comes Out to Play” drives with angsty power chords, “Inkwell” paints an intimate portrait of an awkward bookworm, and “Worlds Away” shouts from the rooftops about income inequality with foot percussion and a wailing old-time fiddle.
