The Heatons

Matt Heaton: Guitar, Bouzouki, Vocals

Matt and Shannon Heaton are a wonderful Celtic duo who reside in the Boston area.  They play and sing traditional Irish music, as well as some of their own, original compositions.  Their original compositions tell timeless tales, while their renditions of centuries-old songs feel modern. They access real stories, real emotions, and each show is unique.

Their traditional music backgrounds are conventional enough, but once you scratch the simple traditional music pedigree you find something else—a unique personality and vibe that could only come from these two.

Matt and Shannon have been performing together for over a decade with a variety of groups, including critically-acclaimed Irish band Siucra (which they formed with Beth Leachman during their three-year “sabbatical” in Boulder, CO), tangeuros Orquesta Atipica, as well as traditional luminaries Aoife Clancy, Robbie O’Connell, and Scottish gem Emily Smith.

Join us for an unforgettable evening of Celtic music with Shannon and Matt Heaton in the intimate atmosphere of our home.  

Matt and Shannon will also be at Milwaukee's ICHC, Wednesday, May 6th and Gays Mills, Saturday, May 9th. Thanks to the ICHC for this BIO.
