Everybody Must Get Gnomed, To The Dance Floor, Singles, CDs

MUSIC

The Gnomes each bring an enormous wealth of musical knowledge, musicianship, creativity, and fun to their performances. Their live shows are upbeat and never fail to get folks on their feet, moving and grooving! They'll go from a traditional tune into a tango, or a piece of music that makes you feel like you just stepped off a dirt road in Ireland to a sidewalk cafe in France. The Gnomes concerts also have plenty of songs interspersed with their instrumental music.

The Gnomes have just finished their second CD, "Everybody Must Get Gnomed." Listen and buy tracks or the album below. Be sure to check out our first album, "To The Dance Floor."

Everybody Must Get Gnomed
The New Gnomes CD! Released November 2008
"'Everybody Must Get Gnomed' is the groaner of a title that THE GNOMES picked for their excellent new disc. Rhode Island traditional-music masters Phil Edmonds (whistle and accordion) and Cathy Clasper-Torch (fiddle) team up with local stalwarts Otis Read (guitar, vocals), Peter Breen (bass, vocals) and Ron Schmitt (percussion) for a global gallop through Celtic, Russian, Scandinavian and Hassidic instrumental traditions as well as singer-songwriter lyrical songs from Read." --Rick Massimo, The Providence Journal, November 6, 2008.
