Though their band name may not be well-known, the four musicians of the Long Time Travelers are very familiar faces on Cape Ann. Husband-and-wife violinists Scott Moore and Erica Pisaturo join with twin brothers Charles and George Clements (double bass and guitar, respectively) to purvey the quartet’s trademark “chamber roots” music: a heady blend of the uptown and the down-home, all masterfully interwoven into a contagiously fun and engaging experience. The group’s first outing in 2025 is a one-two punch: a contradance with caller Rose Sheehan at MAGMA (Friday, February 28 at 7pm) followed by a concert at the Annisquam Village Church, Saturday, March 1 at 7:30pm.
Moore, Pisaturo, and both Clements all moved to Gloucester around the same time, just before the pandemic. Since first joining forces in 2022, they’ve performed together a handful of times, weaving fresh new arrangements of bluegrass and oldtime Americana along with their own original compositions and a smattering of experimental and classical chamber music.
