Folk
Lisa & Heather Malyuk
Lisa & Heather Malyuk are celebrated performing artists in the U.S. and abroad. Lisa's articulate hammered dulcimer and spunky banjo uke unite with Heather's inventive guitar playing and dynamic fiddling, bringing to life their sets of must-hear energetic reels and jigs, bittersweet waltzes, driving international rhythms and old-fashioned sacred music. Their musical interpretations preserve the history of the tunes while carrying the traditions into the future.
The New Pilgrims
The New Pilgrims are young multi-instrumentalist siblings—Nora, Dylan, Eli, and Mary McDaniel—who hail from northeast Ohio. Their musical repertoire is comprised of Irish and old-time Appalachian folk tunes, as well as familiar and nostalgic melodies played on fiddle, guitar, harmonica, cello, and banjo uke. These second generation folk musicians are eager to entertain as they continue traveling the musical path forged by their mom and aunt, Lisa & Heather Malyuk.
