Fiddling phenoms to play at The Cooperage

Posted

HONESDALE, PA — Irish fiddling sensation Haley Richardson and her brother Dylan, a young duo of traditional Irish musicians who are making their mark in the Irish music world, will perform on Friday, April 22 at 7:30 p.m. at The Cooperage, 1030 Main St.

The duo has compiled a long list of accomplishments and shared the stage with many of the icons of Irish music: The Chieftains, The John Whelan Band, Pride of New York, Altan, Dervish and The Teetotallers. At the age of 13, Haley, with her highly ornamented Sligo fiddle style, has already won the 2015 Junior Fiddler of Dooney title, two All Ireland Championships, brought home four All-Ireland medals and won the Mid-Atlantic Fleadh six times in the under-12 age group and once in the under-15 age category. She was also featured in an article in the 2015 Fall edition of Fiddler Magazine. Dylan’s driving rhythmic guitar backs Haley’s melodies perfectly. The duo released its debut recording, “Heart on a String,” in March 2015.

The concert is sponsored by the Old Time Fiddlers and The Cooperage Project. The suggested donation is $10. For more information visit www.thecooperageproject.org.
