An exciting duo that combines the talents of two of contemporary music's most gifted musicians.

Sara is an award-winning fiddler, singer, and tunesmith who has been performing various roots, bluegrass, Celtic, and Appalachian music since she was 4 years old. She spent the past few years touring and recording with The Cathie Ryan Band, and previously played with NY Irish-newgrass band The McKrells. She has recorded with numerous artists, and both her fiddle and voice can be heard on the forthcoming Richard Shindell CD, "South of Delia."

Greg is a multi-instrumentalist who co-founded the acclaimed Celtic-fusion group Whirligig. Currently the guitarist with The Eileen Ivers Band, he has also performed and recorded with many diverse international artists, including Susan McKeown, The Klezmatics, Cathie Ryan, and Doctor Nerve, among others.

Playing a vibrant mix of contemporary and traditional songs and tunes from across the musical spectrum, Sara and Greg's music incorporates eclectic flavors from other countries and planets, as well as soulful compositions of their own. They have earned accolades for their fresh interpretations of music from many different genres, and for crisscrossing stylistic boundaries - combining a firm grounding in a wide range of folk forms with a rich palette of modern and world music influences.

Since joining forces in 2004, they have toured throughout the US and Europe. Their debut CD, "Forward In All Directions!," made the Top Ten in the Village Voice 'Pazz & Jop' Critics Poll for 2004.

As a multi-instrumentalist playing in a wide variety of musical genres, Greg has performed and recorded with a long list of artists in the folk and traditional music worlds, as well as with many in the fields of rock, jazz, and contemporary music, including Eileen Ivers, Cathie Ryan, Susan McKeown, Richard Shindell, Tommy Sands, Seán Tyrrell, Steeleye Span fiddler Peter Knight, folk-blues singer Dave Moore, and button accordion greats James Keane and John Whelan. His contributions can be heard on many of these artists' recent CDs.

He has been the bassist for 15 years with the avant-rock band Doctor Nerve, with whom he has recorded 8 albums. He played with the progressive Klezmer-jazz group The Klezmatics, and accompanied them on tours of Itzhak Perlman's In The Fiddler’s House. In the 1980s, he worked with renowned Indian violinist L. Shanker of Shakti, and also played bass and keyboards in the seminal post-punk new wave band ibm. Most recently, he led the neo-Celtic fusion group Whirligig. Also a much sought after producer and arranger, Greg is considered to be an expert at blending traditional music with contemporary sounds and production values.
