This musical journey has inspired many people who have found it moving, creatively inspiring and lots of fun to dance to. This storytelling music honors the traditional Irish style and encorporates original compositions, unique instrumentation and arrangements that push the limits of that style. Fast and well played fiddle melodies are accompanied by piano, didgeridoo, mandolin, French Horn, guitar, Bodhran, djembe and vocals to create moods ranging from haunting to festive. Here is a sample of what the artist writes on the CD cover:
"Celtic music found me after I had been playing classical violin for many years and had started t move into rock and alternative styles. Let your imagination get lost in what the original story might have been for each tune. Let the tunes express parts of your own journey. And most of all, DANCE!"
Kathy currently plays with Gabe Duffin, also a cdbaby artist, around the Bay Area in a variety of venues and continues to delight audiences with her fast and exhuberant reels and jigs along with her singing tone on waltzes and airs. She's also rockin' out with The Druid Sisters Tea Party, an Afro/Celt/Funk band.
