Lindsay Straw is a singer, guitarist, and Irish bouzouki player who performs traditional songs and tunes from the British Isles. Originally from Montana, she began to explore Boston's Irish and folk music scenes while studying film scoring at Berklee College of Music. Lindsay has impressed with her tender singing voice, agile accompaniment style, and an extensive repertoire that is rooted in the Scottish and Northern Irish traditions, but which also delves into contemporary songwriters like Richard Thompson and Bob Dylan. Her debut solo album My Mind From Love Being Free was released on May 1, 2015.
Caroline O'Shea is from Milton, MA and began playing the tin whistle when she was 13. She took up the flute a few years later and, under the tutelage of first Andrea Mori and then Shannon Heaton, competed at the All-Ireland championships in Letterkenny, Co. Donegal and Tullamore, Co. Offaly, Ireland, for four years in a row. She has taught at Reynolds-Hanafin-Cooley branch of Comhaltas Ceoltoiri Eireann in Boston, at the Irish Cultural Centre of New England, at the Milton Art Center, and at the Killarney School of Music in Killarney, Co. Kerry, Ireland.
