Fiddle Earth
Fiddle Earth is a unique musical troupe hailing from Kingston, Ontario. A quartet, we first played together in late 2012 after noticing we were contrasting pairs: each couple had a fiddle player and a vocalist/string player, but of opposite gender! We are a play in contrasts: male and female fiddlers playing in harmony: male and female vocalists, one high, one low; guitar and tenor guitar. As more than one fan has said, it should not work together, but it does, beautifully. More info. |
