While Katie visited the Fiddle two years seasons ago, RJ and Hope are making their Fiddle debut. This show is a great opportunity to catch these three talented songwriters on their weekend tour of the Great Lakes states.
Last year, Celtic Supergroup Solas completed a huge North American reunion tour marking the band's 30th anniversary. They had so much fun they are doing it again this year, and the Fiddle is on their schedule.
One of the most popular acts on the traditional folk music circuit, Alisdair and Natalie return to the Fiddle to present an extended conversation between a fiddle and cello.
Local fans may remember Jerron from his visits to East Lansing's Great Lakes Folk Festival. He returns with fellow NYC all-around musician Dennis Lichtman to brilliantly present tunes and songs from the 1920s and beyond.

Each year, Greater Lansing's international dance phenom Nic Gareiss invites a musical friend or two to develop and then present an original program of music and dance. This year, the musician is the versatile fiddler, Brittney Haas.

Yes, BeauSoleil at the Fiddle! That's it. Come and enjoy!
Grosse Isle is one of a few Celtic bands that features the uilleann pipes - often called the Union pipes or Irish pipes - a complex set of bellows, reeds, a chanter, drones and regulators. Uilleann pipes are quieter than other pipes, and usually played sitting down. The drones found in haunting Irish melodies often originate from uilleann pipes. Grosse Isle sings and play a wide variety of instruments. We welcome them to the Ten Pound Fiddle.
Joy Clark dazzled folk music promoters at last October's FARM (Folk Alliance Region Midwest) conference. Then, she stole hearts at last November's Women in the Arts Festival. Now, she will team up with our own Kate Peterson to present a night full of skillful songs filled with deep sentiment.
Le Vent du Nord was last here seven years ago, a last minute, mid-week booking held at the Robin Theatre. The night proved to be incredibly memorable for those in the quickly sold out house.
Fourty years ago, John won the prestigious New Folk Award at the Kerrville Folk Festival, and the rest is history. A part of the NYC New Folk Movement, John has been a fan favorite for years. The Fiddle welcomes John back to town.
Pat Humphries lived in Lansing in the late 80s, a period when she penned many folk music community favorites. Since then, Pat and Sandy O. have been musical leaders in the peace and justice movement. "If I can't dance to it, it's not my revolution." - Emma Goldman
