Traditional Irish fiddle player Kate Rose performs alongside world-class guitarist Armand Ramirez as Wild World Irish Fiddle -- a duo bending perceptions and putting their own spin on Irish fiddle music. As weekly performers at Charly's downtown, and throughout the city at community events, the duo upholds traditional Irish values while adding a worldly spin in their rhythms.
Rose said she grew up in New Hampshire in an Irish-American family, so the traditional Irish style of music had been around her throughout her upbringing. Whether she was attending contradances, or listening among family, she said, she was naturally drawn into playing in the traditional way.
