Rock Island Lodge House Concert & Dinner with Mary Fraser

 

Mary trained in classical violin for the first decade and a half of her life, but has now moved into traditional music, she’s travelled to many places with rich fiddle traditions, immersing in the tunes and styles of Ireland, Scotland, Appalachia and New England.  Mary says “I love the fun of ragtime tunes and sappy waltzes from the 20s, as well as haunting Kentucky tunes, strathspeys from the rocky ledges of northern Scotland, and slippery jigs from West coast Ireland.”

She has also developed a ‘crankie’ habit! They’re super fun to make and perform. Want to know what a crankie is? Come on out Wednesday and find out.
