She has performed with the acoustic roots band High Range, the swing trio Sweet, Hot & Sassy, as well as with the rock/country band The Blue Hill Kickers. Tim Mowry grew up playing old country, bluegrass, and popular standards from the American songbook. He has played with Deaf Heifer, Stonewall Bluegrass and others, and currently plays in the old-time American and Celtic group The Grumbling Rustics, which has featured Ellen Carlson as well.

In this program, the duo will present an upbeat, entertaining and educational program on a wide range of fiddling styles including Irish, Scottish, old-time, Swedish, Klezmer, Cajun, blues, bluegrass, country and swing.

Please join us for an informative and entertaining evening of music.
