North Country Fair is an arrangement of local musicians from Wanakena, Vermont and Tupper Lake specializing in Celtic music and instruments. Featuring Doug Riley on cittern, guitar and vocals; Rick Kovacs on fiddle and guitar; Riczi Kovacs, Rick’s son on Irish Flute, guitar, and tin whistles’; Rick’s wife, Angie on harp and vocals, and Katrina Sheats on vocals.
The original North Country Fair got their start in the late 90’s and featured Doug, Rick and Rick’s wife Angie. Since then, they’ve added Katrina and Riczi to the arrangement but stayed true to their Celtic and Quebecois roots with their music.
Admission is free, and this is a family friendly event. Call 518-624-3077 for more information.
