É.T.É
With lovely vocal harmonies, a deep groove, and rich instrumentation, É.T.É is an explosive trio on stage, transforming the nostalgia of a kitchen party into an unforgettable show experience that celebrates the joie de vivre of Québecois culture. Awarded the OPUS prize for “Discovery of the Year 2017-2018” and the Creation Aldor 2025 award at the Festival Trad Montréal, this trio is quickly winning over the hearts of listeners worldwide. Élisabeth Moquin (fiddle, step-dancing, vocals), Thierry Clouette (bouzouki, foot percussion, vocals), and Élisabeth Giroux (cello, vocals) create their own trad universe with original compositions and unique arrangements of Québécois and Acadian repertoire. The word été in French means summer – a fitting tribute to how their original, lively take on Québec traditional music is infused with a new vitality. The group has toured extensively throughout Canada, the USA, Scotland, Belgium and Australia. Their most recent album, Sur ces eaux, was released in November 2022 and they will release their fourth album in fall, 2026.
This concert is a fundraiser for the Corvallis Celtic Festival.

7:30 Karen Sikich
After playing and singing in various bands and choruses for years in the Corvallis area, Karen Sikich is embarking on a new solo career. Karen plays and sings beautifully! While focusing on 60s pop tunes, her covers range from old time swing and blues to more recent Americana songs and pretty much everything in between. She especially enjoys songs you likely will recognize but haven’t heard in ages, shaping them to her own unique style to make them “new again”
8:30 Can’t Never Could
Can’t Never Could is a Corvallis band made up of long-time local musicians Rita Brown, Bill Smyth and Leigh Ann Starcevich. Featuring rich vocal harmonies, expressive guitar, they do originals as well as intriguing songs from the 60s to the present (The Band, Joni Mitchell, Pure Prairie League, Guy Clark, Brandi Carlile, Tracy Chapman, Natalie Hemby, and more). A fun and friendly band.

Alex and Tatiana Hargreaves
Fiddlers Alex and Tatiana Hargreaves return to Corvallis — where the siblings grew up — from meteoric careers in old time, bluegrass, American roots and new acoustic music.
Alex Hargreaves currently tours full-time with Grammy award-winning guitarist and singer Billy Strings, having previously toured with Jerry Douglas, David Grisman, Bela Fleck, Danilo Perez and Sarah Jarosz. Described as “one of the greatest improvising violinists in America today” by virtuoso mandolinist/composer Mike Marshall, Alex Hargreaves released his debut album in 2010, which included special guests Bela Fleck and Noam Pikelny, and was a member of the Grammy award-winning Turtle Island Quartet from 2016-19.
Tatiana Hargreaves currently tours with Allison de Groot in a duo format, described by Paste magazine as a “can’t-miss pair.” Their rendition of Alice Gerrard’s song “Beaufort County Jail” was included in Rolling Stone Country’s “10 Best Country and Americana Songs to Hear.” Having toured with musicians that include Dave Rawlings, Gillian Welch, Laurie Lewis, Darol Anger, Bruce Molsky and Jake Blount, Tatiana Hargreaves brings a musical fluency that crosses genres with ease and offers continual musical freshness.
