\nAs the founding fiddler of the hot Louisiana band, Steve Riley & the Mamou Playboys, David Greely<\/a> has played the Old Town School many times over the last 20 years. Having embarked on a solo career–he’s also doing a twin fiddle project with Joel Savoy–he brings a rich and deep repertoire of uncommon old Cajun tunes and new companion pieces. This will be a real treat.<\/p>\n
\nBorn to a family of famous Kaustinen fiddlers, Arto J\u00e4rvel\u00e4<\/a> makes a return visit to Fiddle Club, bringing with him the Minnesota-based Kaivama<\/a>. Arto may be the hardest-working fiddler in history. He has played with just about every roots music band on the Finnish folk scene. He is a consummate master of traditional Finnish tunes, as well as a composer of tradition-worthy new tunes. Besides fiddle, he plays mandolin and various keyed-fiddles. Kaivama is fiddler Sara Pajunen and Jonathan Rundman (guitar, mandolin and keyboard). They are making their second visit to the Old Town School on their second US tour with Arto.<\/p>\n
\nA Gaelic scholar, fiddler and dancer, Deirdre comes from the Aran Islands off Ireland\u2019s West coast. She\u2019ll play tunes with us and tell us about Irish fiddling in its native setting.<\/p>\n
\nTransplanted southerner Ed Cosner has been introducing scores of younger fiddlers in northwest Indiana to the sounds of bluegrass. Katie Bern, a past winner in our Midwest Fiddle Championship, was one of his finest students.<\/p>\n
\nFresh out of college, Dorian is always ready with his fiddle. He won top prize in the 2010 Midwest Fiddle Championship with his band, the Cajun Vagabonds. Plans are still being worked out for this meeting, but I’m thinking a workshop on Cajun tunes, followed by a dance.<\/p>\n
