Heritage captures the music of early America, featuring the ballads and toe-tapping dance tunes that livened up social gatherings in the backwoods and along the expanding frontier. Using authentic arrangements and instrumentation of fiddle, banjo, guitar, whistle, spoons and other percussion implements, this trio reintroduces the 'handmade' music of the 18th and early 19th centuries to a 21st century audience.

These ballads and fiddle tunes enriched the lives of explorers, fur traders, hunters, pioneers and homesteaders as they pushed westward across North America. The arrangements represent the instruments commonly available at the time: fiddle, guitar, banjo, and percusion devices of some kind, often household utensils, such as wooden spoons and washboard. As you listen to the music, imagine sitting by a remote campfire, or on a remote front porch, or attending a frolic or barn raising on the early American frontier when instrumentation may have been limited to fiddle, four-string banjo and a pair of wood
