About me

Location	Philadelphia, PA
Introduction	I am a fiddler and banjo player- mainly playing old time stringband music with a smattering of scottish and irish as well. I perform with the "new" Old-Time band Red Hen Stringband, and play for lots of dances with Jane's Gang, Great Big Taters (me, Hilarie Burhans and Bernie Nau) and the Old Time Shifters (with Kellie Allen and Pete Peterson). I also teach fiddle and old time banjo and guitar! I have 4 CD's out including The Northern Lights of Aberdeen (Traditional Scottish Melodies), In the Moment (featuring 7 of my originals and traditional tunes), iFiddle,theyBanjo (me fiddling with 5 great banjo players-Hilarie Burhans, Cathy Fink, Reed Martin, Jimmy McCown and Dan Rublee) and Red Hen (featuring many of my original tunes and song collaborations with husband Allan Carr. All recordings are available from me or at CD baby. Some of you may remember me from my music work in the 80's with ourtrio Hadden, Rothfield and Carr (an innovative band that melded American and Scottish Traditional music with Silly Wizards Martin Hadden. I have the original LP's available for those who are interested!
