MERCER – New England Celtic Arts, will present Còig at the Mercer Community Center on Thursday, Dec. 4. Curtain is at 6 p.m.

Còig will return to Central Maine for one final concert for 2014. Fan favorites in the region, the show will be full to the brim with progressive Cape Breton style music, song, and dance along with some Celtic Holiday cheer.

CÒIG (“Ko-ig”. Gaelic for ‘5’) is an exciting ensemble consisting of five solo acts, and is one of Cape Breton’s most captivating young bands. Originally coming together for a promotional tour for the Celtic Colours International Festival in 2010, the formation proved to be something special, and the group decided to continue to tour together as a band. Proving to be a serious force to be reckoned with in the traditional music scene with their driving tunes, haunting songs and infectious energy, Còig is a treat for the ears of every audience they meet.

With a combined total of over 30 nominations and awards, each of Còig’s talented musicians have released their own successful solo albums, and have toured both at home and abroad before coming together as this exciting super group. Còig’s much anticipated debut album was released on June 10th, 2014. The album just won Traditional/Roots Recording of the Year at Nova Scotia Music Week last month and is up for a Canadian Folk Award.

Mercer Community Center is located at 1015 Beech Hill Rd Mercer, Me. Ticket price is $15. For more information and reservations call Sarah at 207-416-3925 or http://www.necelticarts.com
