Catfish In the Sky
Catfish in the Sky is a band that's hard to pin down. Blending traditional and contemporary techniques on fiddle, cello, ukulele, and cajon, they put an electric twist on murder ballads, sea shanties, and fiddle tunes from across the worlds of Celtic and American roots folk music. They have performed at venues such as the Grey Fox Bluegrass festival, the International Bluegrass Music Association Conference and festival, Appaloosa roots music festival, Berklee College of Music Convocation, and the Kennedy Library. In 2024 they were the winners of the Freshgrass Band Competition and have appeared on Woodsongs Old Time radio hour and been featured in the Bluegrass Standard. You can listen to and purchase their debut EP here.
Carroll Sisters Trio
The Carroll Sisters Trio presents a fresh take on the lively dance music of Ireland and Scotland with beautiful harmonies, intriguing counterpoints, and unique musical arrangements. With Emilie and Nora Carroll on fiddle and Sammy Wetstein on cello and piano, they have performed in intimate settings such as pubs, farm festivals, and house concerts, as well as at larger events like Sober St. Patrick's Day in New York City (2018), the Boston Celtic Music Festival (2022-2024), and the 2024 Longs Peak Scottish Irish Highland Festival in Estes Park, CO. Their 2022 debut album (Daybreak, produced by John Whelan) has been critically acclaimed and featured in Irish Music Magazine, Celtic Life International Magazine, The Irish Echo, Boston Irish Magazine, and Irish and Celtic Music Podcast. They were on that podcast’s Top 10 Celtic Bands of 2022 and the Top 5 Bands to Watch in 2023 lists. Their much-anticipated second album, Radiance- produced by Katie McNally, is now available for streaming and purchase here.
