Hailing from Chicago, IL, Liz Carroll is one of America’s most significant Irish traditional musicians. From astounding the Irish music world in 1975 at age 18 by winning the Senior Division of the All-Ireland Championships, to being named a National Endowment for the Arts’ National Heritage Fellow two decades later, Liz is widely regarded as one of the best to ever play the instrument.
Hailing from Canada is guitar/pianist Jake Charron, who is noted for his ability to provide sympathetic accompaniment that leaves creative space for the lead musician. As a member of the Prince Edward Island group, The East Pointers, he garnered a JUNO Award win for Traditional Roots Album of the Year (2015), and a nomination in the same category this spring.
