Champion Celtic violinist Jamie Laval and champion mandolinist Ashley Broder form a stunning instrumental duo rendering traditional Irish, Scottish, and Bluegrass music with hints of classical refinement and ethnic music from around the world.
The pair consistently creates rapt audiences every time they take the stage, mixing intense passion and tenderness with a coyness and playful interaction that has become their trademark.
One of the premier Celtic performers on the international music scene today, violinist/fiddler Jamie Laval has performed for the Queen of England, on numerous movie sound tracks, the NBC Today Show, Dave Matthews' CD "Some Devil", and has received unanimous critical praise for his CD Shades of Green which is aired regularly on NPR. In 2002 Jamie won the U.S. National Scottish Fiddle Championship.
Ashley Broder competed regularly in fiddle contests ultimately winning the Western Open Picking Championship in 2003 and 2004. She went on to collaborate with world renowned mandolinist Mike Marshal on his method books, taught at the Mandolin Symposium in California, and played in a number of LA area bands while studying classical violin and ’cello in college.
