Episode 24: Musical Storytelling with Rennie Pearson
Episode 24: Magical Musical Storytelling with Rennie Pearson
Today’s episode features Rennie Pearson, a wonderfully talented young musician whom our family had the pleasure of hosting recently for an “Acoustic on the Deck” performance among the tranquil gardens of our family farm. Grounded in the Celtic musical traditions, Rennie takes the listener on a journey through history, weaving together tunes and songs and the tales that accompany them to create an intricate and varied show. His engaging stage presence and storytelling opens the door for audiences to connect with the music, which he plays on the wooden flute,guitar, Irish tin whistles, bodhran, fiddle and voice.
Dear listeners - you are in for a treat in this episode - not only do we deep-dive into the world of
- traditional Celtic music
- the art and craft of the wooden flute and Rennie’s time as an apprentice
- the power of songs to connect across generations, countries and cultures
Rennie gifts us with not just one, but TWO live performances as well!
It’s no surprise at all that Rennie has made a name for himself in the traditional music scene of Australia and New Zealand as a stand-out solo performer, as well as touring his own duos, bands, and performing with large international stage productions. He has played and taught all over New Zealand, in Australia and in Canada, including music schools such as Ceol Aneas, ScotsStrings, CelticANZ, Gaeltached, Boxwood and folk festivals in Auckland, Wellington, Dunedin, Christchurch, Port Fairy and Portarlington, and most recently the Deloraine Celtic Music Weekend.
