Rose Baldino and Brian Buchanan met 10 years ago, late one night backstage at a theatre in rural Pennsylvania, but it wasn't until the Folk Alliance 2014 conference in Kansas City, MO that they finally became musical collaborators. Brian and Rose are both accomplished traditional fiddle players and classical violinists and despite being young, have more than 25 years of writing and performance experience between them. Together, they write unusual new fiddle tunes and exciting, unpredictable original songs while also breathing new life into traditional and contemporary songs. Both are confident and unique lead vocalists and the blend of their two voices in harmony is hypnotic and irresistible.

Whether it's a song, a style, an idiom or an image, Duke Robillard will render it with mastery, power, nuance and an unerring grasp of its essence. Originally from Woonsocket, Rhode Island, Duke has carved out one of blues' most illustrious legacies, while also trodding some lofty related territories as a guitarist, vocalist, songwriter, bandleader, studio sideman, producer, label operator and educator. His unsurpassed mastery of the guitar style of T-Bone Walker (later crystallized memorably in his 2004 release "Blue Mood") is deservedly heralded, but his breadth is also head-turning - from swing standards and ballads to rockers, gutbucket Chicago blues and rockabilly.
