Our Guests




Mance Grady - an excellent bodhran player and frequent guest with WS.  In fact, Mance is recognized as a Master Bodhran Player by the National Endowment for the Arts.  He is also a bodhran maker and teacher at his workshop in Cumberland, RI.  Check out his band Trouz Bras, music from Brittany.  With the addition of Mance, WS has a super, double percussion sound.



Amy Larkin - a Cape Cod fiddle player well-known in New England contra dancing.  Amy has impressive improvisational skill and when she plays with WS, the two fiddles pretty much go crazy.  Amy's CD, Uncle Gizmo, is a must have.



Maia Rutman - Maia is the fiddle player for Heathen Creek and a fellow Providence resident.  A supah-sweetie, Maia is a doctor in her spare time.  So its just like one of them old Westerns where the doctor is a fiddle player.  Together, Doc Rutman and Andy make SUPER FIDDLE POWER (SFP).



Alan Bradbury - bass player, accordian player, and piano tuner.  WS loves having Alan provide that bass beat.  Alan is pretty versatile, he plays bass for a lot of people, but his main gig is playing accordian for the Rhode Island Cajun band Magnolia.



cw Abbott - a superb mandolin player from Cumberland.  Supah-doopah rhythm and a swell guy to boot.  cw's main band is the excellent Groovemongers.
