Award winning fiddler Janie Rothfield and husband Scottish singer and guitarist Allan Carr have been playing and recording their unique blend of Celtic and Appalachian music for over 40 years! Janie and Allan play roots music that is directly from the source while expanding on that tradition with newly composed songs and tunes. They blend their love of traditional music as well as their own compositions to present a concert that weaves a musical story from both sides of the Atlantic and is always fun!
Great singing, hot instrumentals and with Allan’s humor, always a whole lot of fun! They have over a dozen recordings to their credit. In July 2024 their new recording THE TWO OF US was released featuring their signature unique sound that blends the old with the new and back again!
Classes are for “Intermediate” level musicians who can play at a moderate tempo in a jam. No previous experience with Old time music required.
