Dan’s duo recording with Mark Roberts from 2013. Flute, whistle, guitar, fiddle, banjo, bombarde, percussion, viola, and probably more. Tunes from Ireland, Brittany, Sweden, Appalachia and Mark and Dan’s brains. With Andrea Cooper on flute and whistle, Dave Marshall on bouzouki.

Lisa Ornstein on fiddles, Dan on guitar and banjo. Traditional music from Quebec and Appalachia, along with original compositions from Lisa and Dan.
