Buffalo-based musician and teaching artist Dave Ruch is seeking information on French-language songs and music that found their way to the Northern New York area, past and present.
Ruch is researching Franco American musical traditions in the North Country for an upcoming project with Traditional Arts in Upstate New York (TAUNY).
Past collaborations between Ruch and TAUNY have included the “W is for the Woods” website on traditional Adirondack music (www.adirondackmusic.org), and the Emmy-winning “Songs to Keep” project.
For this current project, Ruch is interested in learning about people of French or French Canadian descent who ended up in the Adirondack region and had some kind of tradition of informal singing and/or playing, even if just around home.
Send ideas and information to dave@daveruch.com or call 716-884-6855.
