Talented Canadian banjoist Allison de Groot has made a name for herself as a member of Molsky’s Mountain Drifters and The Goodbye Girls. Tatiana Hargreaves is a phenomenal fiddler based in North Carolina, who has toured with luminaries including Gillian Welch and Bruce Molsky, and played on Laurie Lewis’ Grammy nominated album The Hazel And Alice Sessions. Whilst paying homage to the best of Appalachian traditions, the duo also reflects on and pays tribute to the diversity of American roots music. Alongside classic tunes, they perform lesser-known American fiddle and banjo songs from the likes of African-American duo Nathan Frazier & Frank Patterson, bluegrass pioneer Alice Gerrard and centenarian Arkansas fiddler Violet Hensley. Together, Allison and Tatiana create a scintillating, foot-tapping sound, with powerful songs and beguiling tunes.

Jackie x Riley Baugus - Undone in Sorrow Riley Baugus, Long Steel Rail Riley Baugus is a North Carolina native who contributed to the multi-million selling, Grammy award winning Album of the Year, “Raising Sand” by Alison Krauss and Robert Plant, and was a featured artist on Willie Nelson’s Grammy nominated “Country Music”, he also made his own Civil War-era styled banjos which were used in the Academy Award winning film Cold Mountain. Also, Riley’s acapella ballad singing was used for the voice of Pangle in the movie. Riley began singing and playing music at an early age. Raised in a household where recordings of old-time music were often played, he developed a love and appreciation for traditional, Southern Appalachian music. He and his family attended the Regular Baptist church, where unaccompanied singing was the tradition. He began playing the fiddle at age 10, but soon after switched to playing the guitar. By the time he was 12, he and his father built a banjo from scrap wood and he once again began to learn another instrument. Riley began honing his musical skills with close friend and neighbor, noted old-time fiddler Kirk Sutphin, by visiting elder traditional musicians in and around Grayson County, Virginia and Surry County, North Carolina. He often visited, played with, and learned from fiddlers Tommy Jarrell (a National Heritage Award recipient) and Robert Sykes, and from banjo player Dix Freeman. During these visits he also met and learned from many other traditional musicians of the area, including former Camp Creek Boys Verlin Clifton and Paul Sutphin. Riley has played with numerous old-time string bands, including The Red Hots, Backstep, the Old Hollow Stringband, and, in a recent visit to Charlottesville’s Prism Coffeehouse, Old Buck. He currently plays with Polecat Creek. Recently, Riley worked with the Lonesome Sisters, both as producer and performer, on their CD Going Home Shoes. |
