Sweeten your day with Springtide’s distinctive blend of more than one hundred strings.
Jackie Luke on hammered dulcimer, cellist Rita Woolhouse, and Greg Wilson on harp perform Celtic influenced vocal and instrumental music, and touch on classical and world music genres. Springtide plays J.S Bach in a cave, English trad at Smith’s Alternative, or a beautiful Scottish song from their CD – Spindrift. These are just some of the rich traditions that Springtide explores.
