Cathie is a recent Seattle resident, having left behind a legion of fans in Berkeley, California, who know her best for her Balkan and Irish-style fiddling. Hank is a well-known Seattle musician and one-time Washington state fiddle champion with several recordings to his credit.
"The duo's repertoire is replete with a vast range of ethnic dance tunes played in just about every meter imaginable. A lifelong love of the music emanates from their playing with vengeance. In the performance there's a deep understanding of not only the technique and song forms, but the people and traditions behind them."
- Cathy Ragland, Seattle Times
"The fast paced musicianship held the packed house riveted. Hank's witty words showed his great knowledge and ability to translate music and life. Superb show."
