Christ Congregation

The Princeton Folk Music Society launches its 2026 Fall Season with “Rakish,” a duo comprising violinist Maura Shawn Scanlin and guitarist Conor Hearn. In a performance that is something more akin to concert music, Rakish explores tunes and songs from Irish and American folk traditions. The duo stretches boundaries, going beyond basic session playing. As Conor puts it, “there has been a shift from playing in the more informal setting of an Irish or Scottish session, where, in terms of arrangement, you’re always winging it to a certain extent. Over the years, we’ve moved to more of a concert approach, where there is more of a deliberate choice to put our own slant on things.” Maura Shawn adds “we have moments in a piece where we’ll be playing one way, with me playing the melody and Conor playing harmony, and suddenly we’ll flip and I’ll play harmony while Conor plays melody. Having a duo is a nice way of flip-flopping those roles a lot. It’s fun, and it keeps people guessing.” The name “Rakish” is derived from the traditional fiddle tune “Rakish Paddy.”
Maura Shawn, a two-time U.S. National Scottish Fiddle Champion and a winner of the Glenfiddich Fiddle Competition, wields the technical range of an accomplished classical violinist and the deep sensitivity of a traditional musician. Conor, a native to the Irish music communities of Washington, D.C. and Baltimore, MD, makes his home in Boston, playing guitar for a number of traditional music acts and bands.
“Scanlin and Hearn both have lovely voices individually, and they harmonize in a most excellent way. Scanlin’s fiddle playing provides great texture and depth.” Daniel Neely, The Irish Echo

Three Saturdays of Fall Fun Coming to Wrightstown Farmers Market

Marion F Clawson Memorial Park, 1055 Old York Rd, East Amwell Township, NJ, 08551

This Saturday at 11 AM — you are invited to join on Patriot ground and feel the Revolution beneath your feet.
Across New Jersey, Pennsylvania and cross over to New York, in the 1700s LIBERTY POLES once rose as powerful symbols of courage — proof that ordinary people were ready to stand for freedom, independence, and the future of a nation. Within that 200 square mile revolutionary region 60+ men joined forces to form the Sons of Liberty.
On September 19th, for America’s 250th, we raise one again.
Take this once-in-a-lifetime powerful hour to experience how the Revolution moved through our neighborhoods across Hunterdon, Mercer, Somerset, Morris, Raritan, and Bucks County and surrounding Pennsylvania area, all connected by the historic Old York Road. This is where the courage of everyday people helped change the course of history.
You’ll witness:
• Colonial soldiers raising the Liberty Pole • Live colonial music • Scouts supporting the ceremony • Colonial time municipalities speaking the praises of Liberty • Cake for all in camaraderie and celebration • A tribute to the NJ &amp; PA militia and the Continental Army who stood their ground for liberty
🪑Feel free to bring a folding chair for comfort — and cake will be served to you as part of our shared Revolutionary camaraderie.
Come for the spirit and pride. Come for the meaning. Come because freedom began right here.
📍 Location: Marion F. Clawson Memorial Park, 1055 Old York Road, Ringoes, NJ, plenty of parking and handicap spaces
🕰️ Time: Saturday, September 19 • 11:00 AM – 12:00 PM
🌦️ Rain or shine 🎟️ Free &amp; Adults &amp; family friendly 🍰 Cake for everyone
📜Step into the story of independence. Stand where courage once stood.
Warm regards, East Amwell Historical Society Museum and Gallery
