Wild Notes is an innovative acoustic group known for their unique arrangements of Traditional American music and all its roots - Irish, Scottish, French-Canadian, jazz, rock, and classical. Their energetic renditions of New England Contra dance music, reels, jigs, hoedowns and waltzes will leave your heart pounding and feet tapping.
Wild Notes features intricate yet melodic interweavings of fiddle and concertina, floating above sweet harp arpeggios, firmly anchored by guitar, mandolin and double bass. Whether a non-stop hoedown or sweet Scottish lament, this music is fun.
