"This project is a dream come true for me! I'm so thankful for the experience of getting to meet and film with Mairead Nesbitt! She's a phenomenal fiddler with a heart of gold! We were instant friends, and the dynamic was as though I've known her and played with her for years! I look forward to future projects with her!!

We're playing a traditional tune, and the special thing about this tune is that it's common to both the Irish and Appalachian fiddle traditions. In Ireland, they call it "Miss McLoud's Reel," and in America we call it "Did You Ever See the Devil Uncle Joe?" It has other names including "Hop High Ladies." Obviously we took the liberty of combining a few names to make it our own. In the recording, you can hear the distinct differences between Irish and Old-Time fiddle. While they're completely unique, they also compliment each other in this fusion we created!"
