Description
'Living Roots' is the innovative debut album from Brendan Hendry & Jonny Toman that brings together Irish traditional fiddle & 5 string banjo like never before!
'Living Roots' takes the listener on a Quest through the much loved Heartlands of Irish & Appalachian traditions. Setting out with a Hornpipe and solid Reel set, 'Living Roots' is a journey through Jigs & Reels whose names are steeped in the tradition, from Heartfelt slow Airs on fiddle & dobro to the imaginative renderings of classic old-time Appalachian fiddle & banjo duets!
The Album features newly composed material from both Hendry & Toman drawing on traditional & modern tune forms. Harmonically the banjo & fiddle melodies are supported with textured acoustic guitars , bouzouki & dobro lines played by Toman. Guest musicians featured are Alison Crossey on Bodhrán , Rachel Toman on Vocals & Pete Toman on Double bass.
