The Kist are a delightful band who present sensitive, authentic songs, channelling the human condition through music.
The members are Jude, Rusty and Pat. Jude plays fiddle, banjo, guitar and sings. Rusty plays cello and sings. Pat plays flute, guitar, whistles and sings.
Pat's been playing traditional acoustic music for thirty years and in 2021, at a music festival, he heard the sound of a cello through the trees. There, in the backwoods, was Rusty playing his cello.
The Kist was born when Pat invited Jude Madill (with whom he had worked before) to form a new trio.
It makes sense to hear a cello in the woods, right, and that pastoral setting is reflected in our music, which is rooted in Irish traditional, Gaelic, Te Reo, Americana, old-time, and includes some original songs by Pat. The sound is acoustic, gentle, sensitive for the most part, with a smattering of up-tempo numbers to keep it interesting. Pat plays finger-style guitar, and the combination of wooden flute mixed with the violin and cello makes for a refined almost drawing-room sound. Perhaps you could call it "Chamber-Folk”.
The Kist finds appreciative audiences in Wellington music venues, music clubs and have performed for the Irish Embassy. Bookings essential snacks and coffee/tea provided. $20 on the door or prepay your tickets through this site or by txting Janette for her bank account. This will be a superb afternoon
