Three of New England’s finest musicians will present a concert of holiday music and folk favorites this weekend, as the duo of Susie Burke and David Surette join with sideman extraordinaire Kent Allyn to bring their popular Christmas folk concert to Del Rossi’s Trattoria. In addition to their traditional show on Saturday at 8 p.m., this year the trio is adding a dinner performance on Sunday at 6 p.m.
Both concerts will feature a number of selections from their holiday CD release “Wonderland,” along with folk and acoustic fare from their standard repertoire. Of their holiday CD, Boston Globe music writer Scott Alarik says, “Wonderland is a wintry gem, elegant as a Manhattan midnight, bewitching as hot buttered rum, and as warm and folksy as your grandmother’s old quilt.”
Burke and Surette have earned a reputation as one of the finest acts on the lively New England folk scene. Burke’s beautiful, complex voice and Surette’s graceful, nimble-fingered string playing combine with extraordinary results on their own blend of contemporary, traditional, and original folk and acoustic music. Allyn is an in-demand accompanist and studio musician, as well as a key member of several groups, including Ben Baldwin & the Big Note and the Night Heron Consort. His stellar bass, piano, and electric guitar work have been heard on numerous recordings, including those of Burke and Surette.
