Andrea Beaton, Dick Hensold, and Dean Magraw
We welcome a Celtic instrumental trio with a very unique and captivating sound. This is a new collaboration that focuses on the musical and cultural interplay between a fiddle and pipes, two instruments that have had a long, close, and mutually influential relationship on Cape Breton Island.
Dick Hensold is the leading Northumbrian smallpiper in North America, and for the past 20 years has performed and taught in England, Scotland, Japan, Canada, and across the United States. Based in St Paul, MN, he is a full-time musician, passionately presenting the traditional music of Scotland, Cape Breton Island, and Northumberland, as well as Nordic folk music, early music, and traditional Cambodian music. He is also an active composer, studio musician and theater musician, and his solo Northumbrian smallpipes CD Big Music for Northumbrian Smallpipes was released in 2007.
Andrea Beaton comes from a long line of musicians, composers and dancers and is known for her powerful bow and driving style. She was nominated as Roots Traditional Solo Artist of the Year at the East Coast Music Awards and proceeded to win the Canadian East Coast Music Awards "Instrumental Recording of the Year!" with her 2010 CD, 'Branches.' She tours and teaches internationally and is in great demand as a teacher at music camps and fiddling/dancing workshops.
Composer, arranger, producer, guitarist Dean Magraw has fine-tuned his "Heavy Meadow" approach to music from years of performing and recording with some of the finest musicians in the United States, Europe, and Japan. His first recording, Broken Silence, came out in 1994 and won the NAIRD award for Best Acoustic Instrumental Album of the Year. Dean has since produced myriad passionate albums, including his latest release, Fire on the Nile (Red House Records), a duo collaboration with renowned percussionist, Eric Kamau Gravatt.
