Pianafiddle
Is it bluegrass? Is it jazz? Is it classical, ragtime, or Celtic? If Pianafiddle is performing, the answer is YES! Starting with only the framework of familiar melody, pianist Lynn Wright and violinist/fiddler Adam DeGraff improvise as they go, blending the known and the unknown in gripping performances that make toes tap and hands clap! Traditionally grounded yet spontaneous, Pianafiddle exceeds our highest expectations, engrossing the audience with each note.
