About this event

TICKET LINK | Ruthie McQuinn - vocals, fiddle Michael Duffy -piano and bodhran, Scott Pedersen - button accordion For over ten years, Slipjig has delighted audiences with their exciting and heartfelt renditions of traditional music from the Celtic nations and Appalachia. Award-winning vocalist, songwriter and fiddler Ruthie McQuinn is joined by Michael Duffy on piano and bodhran and by Scott Pedersen on button accordion. The Krause Family is an Americana and Bluegrass band known for its organic sound and close harmonies. They were discovered by Garrison Keillor and Prairie Home Companion, invited back for appearances and encores. They have continued to play together, never tiring of finding new material for the family. Ruthie, also a member of the popular Krause Family Band and The Ramblin’ Kind, released her first solo album, “Ruthenium,” in 2023. She has received the Wisconsin Area Music Industry award for Best Ensemble Vocals and the Madison Area Music Association award for Folk Song of the Year. Michael’s gifted piano playing reflects his family background in Irish traditional music, including accompanying his fiddle-playing father. His flair on bodhran and Irish bones adds excitement to the band’s sound. Scott started playing button accordion in the 1990s, after a background playing piano in a big band and award-winning piano-accordion playing in his youth. He cites as influences Jackie Daly and Pat Cloonan.
