Notes
MAGGIE'S MUSIC ARTISTS
|
KAREN
ASHBROOK is a pioneer in the adaptation of the
dazzling ornamentation and style of Irish music to the hammered
dulcimer, as seen in her respected Oak Publications book on
the subject. Her virtuosity is equally evident on pennywhistle
and Irish wooden flute. Her recordings explore the lush contemporary
feel of Irish music in Hills
of Erin (MM207) and the upbeat spirit of a traditional
pub session in Knock on
the Door (MM212).
ROBIN BULLOCK,
a virtuoso on guitar, cittern, mandolin and fiddle, is one
of the most remarkable multi-instrumentalists of our time.
His immersion in Irish, bluegrass and old-timey styles has
propelled him towards his own sound: a uniquely Celtic American
kind of roots music. Bullock tours and records with the John
Whelan Band and Footworks Dance Ensemble. His solo albums
on the Maggie's Music label are Between
Earth and Sky (MM221) and Midnight
Howl (MM213).
CEOLTOIRI CELTIC
ENSEMBLE with vocals by CONNIE McKENNA brings
to the Celtic New Age a haunting union of vibrating strings
and mesmerizing flutes and vocals. Sue Richards provides her
shimmering Celtic harp, Karen Ashbrook adds ringing hammered
dulcimer and haunting Irish flute and pennywhistle, and Connie
McKenna sings in Irish Gaelic in the ancient sean nos style.
Ceoltoiri's recordings on the Maggie's Music label are Women
of Ireland (MM218), Silver
Apples of the Moon (MM202) and the instrumental Celtic
Lace (MM203).
AL PETTEWAY
is one of America's leading acoustic guitarists, as noted
in Acoustic Guitar Magazine's "30 Hot Guitarists" in 1998.
His style is smooth, sweet and completely his own - an artful
synthesis of Celtic sounds and American themes and drive.
He has won awards from the Washington Area Music Association
for "Best New Age," "Best Contemporary" and "Best Celtic"
instrumentalist. His recordings are Midsummer
Moon (MM210), Whispering
Stones (MM206), The
Waters and the Wild (MM205) and A
Scottish Christmas (MM215).
SUE RICHARDS
The evocative power of the Celtic harp has no greater genius
than Sue Richards. The U.S folk magazine Dirty Linen called
her "one of America's brightest stars." She is the four-time
U.S. National Scottish Harp Champion and has won equal fame
for her masterful recordings of Irish music. A member of Ceoltoiri
Celtic Ensemble and Ensemble Galilei, she can be heard on
her solo recordingsHazel
Grove (MM211), Morning
Aire (MM204) and Grey-Eyed
Morn (MM201).
BONNIE RIDEOUT
leaped into the international limelight as the first American
fiddler ever invited to perform the music of the Scottish
Highlands at the prestigious Edinburgh International Festival.
As three-time U.S. National Scottish Fiddle Champion, she
has brought her unique balance of charismatic stagecraft and
passionate scholarship to her Maggie's Music recordings which
include Kindred Spirits
(MM214), Celtic Circles
(MM209), Soft May
Morn (MM208) and the bestselling A
Scottish Christmas (MM215).
MAGGIE SANSONE
brings a unique vision to the Celtic music she
draws from her hammered dulcimer. It's a fusion of ancient
sounds and modern sensibility, fueled by rich arrangements
and innovative use of old and new instruments. Her award-winning
early recording, Mist
and Stone (MM106) brought her national attention in the
New Age market, and set the tone for the success of the label
she founded, Maggie's Music. Other recordings are Music
in the Great Hall (MM107), Dance
Upon the Shore (MM109) and a collection of holiday recordings
including A Scottish Christmas
with Bonnie Rideout and Al Petteway.
