Wild Irish Fiddle with Kate Rose

Ranging from the lonesome sound of County Clare traditional fiddling to original compositions of jigs and reels, and even fusion tunes that show how this living tradition has expanded and thrived on other influences, the evening will delight your ears, touch your soul, and maybe even convince you to dance!

Inspired by the tradition of evening gatherings in western Ireland, this is part concert, part banter, and part house dance. All ages and musical experience levels are welcome!

Kate Rose plays with Flagstaff’s Celtic band Greenlaw, in addition to her solo shows, Mostly Fiddle and the contra dance band, Just Desserts. She also sings with Master Chorale and Threshold Choir and teaches French at Basis Flagstaff. Growing up in New Hampshire, Kate started playing Irish and contra dance music in her early teens by sitting in and learning the traditional way, by ear. She then spent two years among farmers on the west coast of Ireland, gathering tunes and stories from the older generation.
