Description

Nadine Landry was born and raised in a musical family on the Gaspe Peninsula on the east coast of Quebec. She’s spent a significant portion of her musical life playing upright bass in the Yukon with the Canadian bluegrass band Hungry Hill. She has also leant her talents to various bands ranging from old time to honky tonk to swing and Cajun. Born in Minnesota, Stephen "Sammy" Lind has established himself as one of the most critically acclaimed old time fiddle players in the country. Cofounder of the Oregon based Foghorn Stringband, Stephen has traveled the world playing and teaching a vast repertoire of tunes from Appalachia and the Midwest. His playing reflects tremendous respect and passion for all the fiddle players and old recordings he spent countless hours learning from. Together they play fiddle tunes, old country and Cajun songs. Their new recording "Granddad's Favorite" reflects their versatility in genres and instrumentation. Alternating between fiddle, banjo, guitar and accordion, they play true to the roots of American music with energy and respect. They are members of the Foghorn Stringband, the Dirk Powell Band and play with Cajun extraordinaires Jesse Lege, Joel Savoy and the Cajun Country Revival and have recently collaborated with Alice Gerrard, Laurie Lewis and Tom Rozum and Tim O'Brien.
