I was sitting between Brian Mcdonogh and Cathy Jordan of Dervish and the rhythm was mighty. Seamie O&#8217;Dowd was there playing fiddle. His two parents played fiddle and although he may be best known for his gorgeous voice and guitar and harmonica playing, he is a very good fiddler. Rick Epping, originally from California, is a fine harmonica player. As well he plays the English style concertina at the same time. Rick, Cathy and Seamie have a trio called &#8220;The Unwanted&#8221;. They do Americana music primarily. Here they are singing <a href=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/watch?v=RMzfvYUZoNY\" target=\"_blank\">Angelina Baker.<\/a> Other local musicians include Philip Duffy (fiddle), Dave O&#8217;Connor (guitar and singing) and Jay Kerins (Bongoes).<\/p>\n<p>Elizabeth Laprelle from Virginia and her mother sang beautiful harmonies in the Appalachian style.
