about the show
Music the Gathering is an original, interactive, and energetic folk music comedy show. Inspired by role-playing, tabletop, and video games, Music the Gathering features a band of musicians who tell fantastical stories through a vast repertoire of one-of-a-kind arrangements that feature full harmonies and instrumentals. Our tagline, “Let’s Play!” is twofold: Not only do we play an array of traditional, world, bawdy, and original music, but we play games on stage as well!
There are different songs and games in each set, and every show comes complete with kooky characters, plot twists, heckling, jokes, riddles, puns, toasts, and often even surprise collaborations with fellow musicians! The show’s playful energy and silly spontaneity allows for a fresh revitalization of traditional folk music, and for the musicians and audiences of all ages to gather together to create a unique entertainment experience.

BIO
Music The Gathering features musicians Olivia Harding, Asia Lupo, Marc Mills, and (on occasion, if they're lucky) Kevin Maphis. With six years of collaboration under their belts, the group has a vast repertoire of original arrangements across multiple genres, from traditional Celtic to contemporary world and original parodies. All songs use intricate three-part harmonies, with Asia and Olivia singing strong mezzo-soprano and contralto parts, respectively, and Marc providing a wide baritone range. In addition to mixed vocal harmonization, all three musicians also accompany themselves on upwards of fifteen different instruments. They play various folk and classical string, woodwind, and percussion instruments, which allows them to take familiar traditional songs and arrange them in unique ways. All members are actors with a strong background in comedy and improvisation, and they take pride in performing with all the energy and passion they can muster. Youthful, hardworking, and professional, these three performers are dedicated to sharing music and all its magic with audiences everywhere.
