When we first met and began our courtship, we would spend the bitter and snowy evenings playing fiddle tunes and singing together. After a few months we decided to book some shows. Fourteen months later, we are engaged and ready to put out an album of our favorite old-time duets and fiddle tunes!
Brian Vollmer - Banjo, Fiddle
Claire Byrne - Fiddle
Brian Vollmer grew up immersed in the musical culture of Appalachia. It was just a way of life... A patron and soon-to-be picker at bluegrass festivals and fiddler's conventions since before he can remember, he became enamored with the soul of traditional mountain music. Starting out on 5-string bluegrass banjo at parties and festivals at a young age, He soon made his way to clawhammer banjo, and then old time fiddle, particularly developing a keen ear for the more acrid sounds of backwoods country music.
