Hi FiddleSticks Fans and Friends,
In case you need a break from the Olympic excitement, come enjoy some Celtic
music from FiddleSticks, at two FREE events, one in Provo and one in SLC.
SATURDAY, February 16, 7-9pm
Borders Cafe at the Riverwoods Mall
4801 North University Avenue
Provo
As part of TSSA's ongoing music showcase, there's great local music every
weekend at Borders in Provo. Come browse the bookshelves, hit the coffee
shop, and enjoy the music!
TUESDAY, February 19, 6-7pm
Salt Lake Winter Olympics
Cultural Olympics Music Festival
Main Stage at Washington Square
Salt Lake City & County Building
(450 South State, or so)
Salt Lake City
FiddleSticks is putting on a free concert as part of the Olympics Downtown
Festival. There's no parking near the concert, so come up on TRAX and enjoy
the show. The North-South TRAX "Courthouse" station is on Main street one
block West of the concert. On the University line, the TRAX Library station
is right on the north end of Washington Square. If you've been shying away
from the Olympic brouhaha, now's your chance to jump in and enjoy it! The
energy's great fun. It's all outside so dress warm. And unlike
figure-skating tickets, admission is FREE!
==============================================
FIDDLESTICKS' NEW CD

ever. Check out www.MP3.com/fiddlesticks to hear a few samples, and then
we hope you'll want to get your very own copy!
Here's what they're saying!
"This new album is a knockout! The others are great but this one sounds like
they're bustin out of the studio!"
"Time and Again has so much energy! The playing is really expressive and
the arrangements are brilliantly woven."
"A whole new animal!"

ABOUT "TIME AND AGAIN":
"Time and Again" includes traditional as well as newly written Celtic tunes
and songs. Besides our core instrumentation of fiddle, Irish whistles and
flutes, cello, guitar, voice and bodhran (Irish drum), the CD features the
addition of 6 string fretless bass and a full drum kit on some tunes.
"Time and Again" is cutting-edge FiddleSticks.
