Reel (2016)
In 2015, I won the Eastern North American Irish Fiddle Competition and qualified to compete at the All-Ireland Fiddle Competition in Sligo, Ireland. I ran a crowd-funding campaign online to help make the trip possible, and one of the perks of donating was receiving a tune composed by yours truly. This is one of the eight tunes I was commissioned to write.
AlgomaTrad is an incredible organization based in Northern Ontario that builds community through the celebration, sharing, and learning of traditional music, dance, arts, and heritage craft. It is the brainchild of Julie Schryer and Pat O’Gorman, who are both brilliant musicians and great friends who have supported my music for many years.
