 os is drawn to water. Every performance is like stepping into a river—th
 ey never play a song the same way twice. They make music inspired by the m
 aritime traditions of Scotland\, Ireland\, Scandinavia and North America. 
 Their album titles—Harbour and Headland—honor the meeting point betwee
 n the land and sea and they sing songs about shorelines\, seafarers and dr
 ownings. They revel in the driving danceability of Irish tunes\, but also 
 take inspiration from the pastoral melodies and naturalistic metaphors of 
 Scottish music. But while the music they write is forged in tradition\, it
  is nonetheless cast and tempered in new and unexpected ways.\n\nThe trio 
 spans three generations\, three cities and two countries. Ryan McKasson (v
 iolin\, viola\, voice)\, Eric McDonald (guitar\, mandolin\, voice) and Jer
 emiah McLane (accordion\, piano\, voice) met over the years at highland ga
 mes\, contra dances and fiddle camps across North America. They made their
  first recording in 2016 and have been touring together since 2019. Kalos 
 prizes the magic of live performance—breathing\, dancing and weaving tog
 ether like high-wire acrobats. They are as generous as they are virtuosic.
  Like nature itself\, their music is full of chaos and chance yet always f
 eels spacious and balanced. Their concerts are more an exposé than a perf
 ormance—they are immersive\, trance-inducing experiences.\n\nKalos appre
 ciates how acoustic music can be a balm\, a respite in the midst of our ra
 dio-static modern life. “As noisy as music is\, it feels like meditation
  compared to the clatter of social media\,” McLane muses. All three band
  members come from Scottish immigrant families\, so even when they venture
  beyond the edges of traditional Celtic music they remain deeply connected
  to past centuries and forgotten folkways. The acoustic instruments they p
 lay are made of sonorous wood—mahogany\, spruce\, ebony—and the band i
 s always attuned to the sonic quality of the spaces they play in. They lov
 e a reverberant church or a forest green encircled by the far-off hum of c
 icadas.\n\nKalos is an ancient Greek word that means “beautiful” or 
 “praiseworthy.” It’s the root of the English words “calligraphy”
  and “calisthenics.” Like a fine calligrapher or adept gymnast\, each 
 musician possesses a profound attention to detail and form. But within the
  exquisite architecture of their compositions\, they remain inventive—fi
 nding new flourishes and discovering unseen ley lines in the fertile groun
 d of traditional music. Folk Worlds magazine says\, “There’s a spontan
 eity at work as the three musicians alternately contest and duel\, combine
  and coalesce to bring their talents together.”\n\nKalos has performed a
 t the Lotus Festival (Bloomington\, IN)\, New Bedford Folk Festival (New B
 edford\, MA)\, New World Festival (Randolph\, VT)\, Gracie Center (Bangor
 \, ME)\, Old Town School of Folk Music (Chicago\, IL)\, Seattle Folklore S
 ociety (Seattle\, WA) and more. They have taught workshops and masterclass
 es at Tufts University (Somerville\, MA)\, Celtic Arts Foundation (Mount V
 ernon\, WA) and Valley of the Moon Scottish Fiddle School (Boulder Creek\,
  CA). With music that enlivens the human spirit\, Kalos brings warmth\, gr
 it and exuberance to every performance.\n\nBoletos: https://dice.fm/event/
