I think I have some of his music hidden somewhere on a hard drive. Good stuff, if I don't mis-remember it.
I really like Ben Paley. I've heard him several times on the Nääs festival and he's really something. I now have some of his CD's as well. He and his dad also made a CD with Swedish fiddle tunes, which is a very nice initiative!!!

Tonight we're going to hear fiddler James Bryan of Rising Fawn String Ensemble fame will play a benefit concert next Saturday at 7:30 PM for the Friends of the Cumberland Trail. The concert be held at the Mountain Opry on Signal Mountain, TN. James will be accompanied by his daughter Rachel.
I'm looking forward to hearing James again, and hopefully the energy that's on his First of May CD will come through in live performance!
;D

Well, we were in for a treat, but didn't know it. Opening for James and Rachel were Leah Gardner and Cruz Contreras (of The Black Lillies). Their renditions of many old ballads were amazing. What voices these two have! And Cruz ain't no slouch on the mandolin and guitar either! James Bryan on fiddle and his daughter Rachel on guitar (who is married though I can't reliably remember her married name) were also wonderful to hear. Rachel has a very amazingly steady sense of rhythm and supported James's fiddling very well. And James rendered old fiddle tunes with ease and elegance, if one can use that term for Old-Time and have it understood - Old-Time musicians would understand, of course. The music was very much worth the $10 it cost to get in. But the price of admission went to support the Friends of the Cumberland Trail ( www.friendsofthecumberlandtrail.org), an organization whose purpose it is to record and preserve knowledge of the culture and music of those living along the Cumberland Trail in Tennessee. They record fiddlers, etc. all along the trail, and preserve old recordings of them and others of the area. So, with all this built in to the event, getting to hear one of my favorite fiddlers, James Bryan, just put the icing on the cake for us!
