This week, we step back in time to a pre-pandemic concert at Binghamton’s Cranberry Coffeehouse. Shannon Heaton, from Boston, is one of the world’s finest Irish flutists, a composer, and host of the Irish Music Stories podcast. Keith Murphy is a renowned instrumental composer and guitarist, originally from Canada and now living in Vermont. I recorded their duo show at the Cranberry Coffeehouse in October of 2019.
