The dazzling fiddle and guitar virtuosity of Liz Carroll and John Doyle sets the Freight stage alight in an exciting evening of "new traditionalist" Irish music.

One of the masters of traditional Irish music living in America today, Chicago-born Liz has been amazing audiences with her fiddle ever since she won the Senior All-Ireland Championship at the age of 18. Known for her fiery, inventive performances, Liz has contributed many self-penned tunes to the repertoire of Celtic performers throughout the world and won the National Endowment for the Arts' National Heritage Fellowship award for her great influence on Irish music in America.

One of the most exciting guitarists in Irish traditional music today, Dublin native John Doyle made a name for himself with his striking propulsive style in both the innovative groups he helped found, The Chanting House and Solas. (He's a fine singer, too!)

Liz and John just released a duo album, In Play (Compass), but don't pass up the chance to see this electrifying duo live in the intimate environs of the Freight!
