Hanneke Cassel is the 1997 U.S. National Scottish Fiddle Champion and holds a Bachelor of Music in Violin Performance from Berlee College of Music. Hanneke's interest in fiddle music began after attaining the U.S. National Scottish Jr. Championship in New Hampshire. With this honor came a scholarship to study on the Isle of Skye, Scotland with the renowned Scottish fiddler Alasdair Fraser and Cape Breton master Buddy MacMaster. Thes two quickly became her fiddle heroes and continue to inspire her music to this day.
Natalie Haas discovered the cello at age nine and fell in love with Celtic music as Alasdair Fraser's Valley of the Moon Scottish Fiddling School at age 11.
She now tours and records regularly with Alasdair Fraser. "People may be familiar with the gorgeous, melodic cello sound," says Fraser, "but they're surprised to learn that the
cello used to comprise the rhythm section in Scottish dance bands. Natalie Haas unleashes textures and deep, powerful rhythms that drive fiddle tunes."
