Red Door Duo
Sunday, August 16 at 11:30 AM — 12:30 PM
Red Door Duo blends eclectic Americana with masterful fingerstyle guitar and bold musical imagination. Partners in life, music, and adventure, International Fingerstyle Guitar Champion/Singer-Songwriter Helen Avakian and acclaimed jazz, bluegrass, and Brazilian guitarist/vocalist Dave Irwin create performances that are both technically impressive and deeply expressive. Their music fuses original compositions with inventive interpretations of jazz, classic rock, and pop, alongside fresh reimaginings of classical works.
Praised as “full of life and energy” (Acoustic Guitar Magazine), Avakian has been compared to Joni Mitchell for her ability to “turn lyrics inside out…[her] music touches a place within” (Poughkeepsie Journal), making Red Door Duo’s performances both captivating and unforgettable.
