There she began her educa- tion in country music and got caught up in the bluegrass revival of the 1970s, joining Hickory Wind, which later changed its name to The Front Porch String Band, with Claire’s vocals as its centerpiece. In 2005, Claire struck out on her own with the Claire Lynch Band, which has a brand new CD on Compass Records, called Dear Sister. Once again, she’s a creative powerhouse at the top of her game, performing with one of the sharpest and most exciting post-modern bluegrass bands of the current decade: Mark Schatz on bass, clawhammer banjo, and percussive dance, Matt Wingate on guitar, mandolin, and vocals, and Bryan McDowell on mandolin, fiddle, Beth Molaro and vocals. ancers from coast-to-coast will tell Dyou that Beth Molaro is great: when she calls, the dance is always a party!

hris Norman and David Greenberg, Ctwo of the most imaginative and dynamic performers in traditional and early music, join forces to present a program that runs the gamut—Renaissance, baroque, traditional, and original music. With their flutes, violins, vielles, pipes, keyboards, and voices, these two extraordinary performers have sparred for more than a decade on the concert stage and in the recording studio. Since the 1980s, Chris (the “Man With the Wooden Flute”) has explored and re- defined the boundaries of both traditional and early-music genres, forging a synthesis Chris Norman & David Greenberg that has been embraced by audiences, scholars, and critics alike. David has gained a reputation in Cape Breton music circles as one of the few people from outside the Nova Scotia island to have achieved a fluent command of the Cape Breton idiom. He has been lauded as “one of the most impassioned folk-fiddlers you’ll ever hear” (James Manishen, Winnipeg Free Press). Photo: Bill Spence Photo: John Roberts
