The Consequences to Perform Traditional Irish Music at Boothbay Harbor

The Consequences, a band celebrating the rich tapestry of traditional Irish music, is making its way to the Boothbay Harbor Opera House. The ensemble brings together four virtuosic musicians: Lexie Boatright on concertina and harp, Jake James wielding the fiddle, Cara Wildman on bodhrán and dance, and Ryan Ward playing both piano and accordion. Each member is recognized as an award-winning soloist in their respective fields, and together, they weave a fusion of heritage and original melodies.

A Quartet of Irish Music Royalty

Lexie Boatright is not only an accomplished harpist and concertina player, but also the executive director of the Baltimore-Washington Academy of Irish Culture. Her commitment to educating the next generation is as impressive as her accolades in music competitions. Jake James, hailing from Queens, NYC, is known for his mastery of the fiddle and his artistic presence has been acknowledged as far afield as Japan. Cara Wildman brings a modern edge to the bodhrán and has a rich musical history bolstered by a Masters in Irish Traditional Music Performance. Coming from the vibrant New York music scene, Ryan Ward's skills on the piano and accordion have crowned him a Senior All-Ireland Accompaniment Champion.
