DESCRIPTION:
I met Boston-based husband-and-wife duo Matt & Shannon Heaton in Montpelier Vermont. They kindly agreed to perform for 50 American Stories. The duo performs updated and traditional Irish music on flute/guitar/bouzouki/accordion. Here, Matt and Shannon perform a song from a different tradition. Shannon learned Lao Dueng Duen (By the Light of the Full Moon), a traditional Thai melody, while studying abroad in Thailand.
