Saturday Nights on Phinney Ridge
Mighty Squirrel
Phinney
Neighborhood Center (Brick Building), 7:30PM
General Admission: $15 Expect everything from Appalachian old-time to Yiddish swing, Celtic and
French Canadian songs from this high power acoustic quartet! In the band are
Caridwen Irvine Spatz (vocals/ fiddle),Greg Spatz (octave mandolin/ fiddle),
David Keenan (guitar, fiddle, mandolin, banjo, vocals) and Ivan Rosenberg
(dobro, claw hammer banjo & vocals). Greg, David & Ivan are familiar
fixtures on the folk / bluegrass scene: Greg currently plays fiddle with the
noted Canadian group John Reischman & the Jaybirds, and is the author of
the novel "Fiddlers Dream". David is known for his work with Jo
Miller & Her Burly Roughnecks, as well as Miles & Karina, The
Downtown Mountain Boys, and Ranch Romance. Ivan has toured with Chris Jones,
the Breakmen, Chris Stuart & Backcountry, and New Voices in Slide Guitar,
and his original music has been licensed for Deadwood, Oprah and The Daily
Show. But Caridwen's pure haunting voice is the centerpiece of Mighty
Squirrel. She has been likened to early Alison Krauss and Jacqui McShee, and
she sings in English, French and Yiddish. She is also a versatile fiddler,
playing old time, Klezmer, and Celtic tunes with style and grace. Reserve online, or
by calling 206/528-8523. |
