Music by Jordan Tirrell-Wysocki & Dan Faiella/Art Exhibit by Cindy Heath

Bringing fresh energy to Celtic music, Jordan Tirrell-Wysocki is an award-winning fiddler who grew up playing dances and folk festivals around New England. He was first recognized as part of New Hampshire’s culture at the age of 12, when he was the youngest member of the delegation representing the state at the Smithsonian Folklife Festival. He has toured nationally with bands in various genres, performed across Ireland, and released multiple recordings of Celtic music that have been heard on radio stations around New England and the British Isles. He has also written soundtracks for audiobooks and television (including the NE Emmy-nominated theme music for NH Chronicle) and appeared as a guest on over 100 albums. In 2013 He was awarded the title of “Master Artist” by the NH State Council On The Arts, and named “Best Fiddler 2016” by NH Magazine. His lifelong passion for history helps bring to life the traditional music around which he built his career.

Dan Faiella has been building a reputation throughout New England’s traditional music communities for his sensitive and innovative interpretations of traditional tunes and songs from the Celtic traditions. His harp- and banjo-inspired approach to fingerstyle guitar playing brings grace and energy to the music, and his skill as an accompanist for traditional melody players is increasingly in demand. He studied with folk musician David Surette and classical guitarist David Newsam and he has performed with some of the Northeast’s premier fiddlers.
