The name conjures up many questions but few answers; the Bee Eaters. What that means is anybody’s guess. What they do, however, is on the record.

The Bee Eaters are rocking musicians who trace their roots back to Celtic, jazz, bluegrass and old-time flavor. They have been called “bodaciously brilliant” by well tuned listeners. Renowned bassist Edgar Meyer enthused that the experience is “a joy to hear both the exploration of this music.. and the emphasis on the simple beauty of the acoustic instruments.”

In case you hadn’t guessed yet, Celtic and old-time should have been big clues, the Bee Eaters are the next musical act up for KCT concerts, that local producing team determined to bring top flight, traditional music to the Island.

The concert is Thursday, Sept. 22, beginning at 8 p.m. at the Katharine Cornell Theatre in Vineyard Haven. Tickets are $15 in advance, available at ticketsmv.com, or $20 at the door. Children under 12 are free.
