The family Celtic band FiddleSticks presents an energetic fusion of
traditional music with contemporary jazz and folk elements. The band is made
up of three sisters, Becca, Katie and Elizabeth Davis, and their dad, Marco.
They have been playing together as "FiddleSticks" since around 1996. (Oldest
sister Becca, flute/whistle player and vocalist, is "on leave" this week on
her honeymoon.)

FiddleSticks keep up a busy performing schedule, with over 50 performances a
year in Utah and throughout the West. They have been appointed four times to
the Utah Arts Council Performing Arts Tour, are three-time Pearl Award
finalists, and have five CD recordings to their credit. FiddleSticks'
energetic dance reels, sultry love songs, plaintive ballads, and lively jigs
played on fiddle, cello, guitar, drum and hammer dulcimer are a favorite of
local audiences.

FiddleSticks have five recordings in print: The Sampler (1998), Playing
Favorites (1999), Cold Fusion (2000), Time and Again (2001), Cat and the
Fiddle (2002) and a new project underway: "Return to Nauvoo" (a collection
of folk hymns), due to be released in late 2003.

CDs are available at all performances, in Utah bookstores, online at
www.fiddle-sticks.com, or by mail order ($15 for CDs, $10 for cassettes,
plus $2 per order shipping and handling). Buy 2 CDs and get a cassette for
free – just ask!
