A little about Liz and John...

Separately, they are geniuses of their instruments ­ exciting performers and composers who take the tradition of Irish music in daring, inventive, new directions. Together, Liz Carroll & John Doyle have combined their talents into dynamic live stage shows and recordings ­ including their first as a duet, which is scheduled for release in 2005 on Compass Records.

One of the masters of traditional Irish music living in America today, Chicago-born Liz Carroll has been amazing audiences with her fiddle ever since she won the Senior All-Ireland Championship at the age of 18. An award-winning recording artist known for her fiery performances full of inventiveness and intense emotion, Liz was awarded a Heritage Fellowship by the National Endowment for the Arts for her ongoing influence on Irish music in the US.

John Doyle is among the most talented and innovative musicians to come out of Ireland in recent years. An extraordinary acoustic guitarist as well as an accomplished singer and songwriter, John can be heard accompanying many top Irish artists and has performed on such film and TV soundtracks as The Brothers McMullen and Out of Ireland. An original member of the acclaimed group Solas, John’s turns as a record producer have created critically successful CD’s by Heidi Talbot (Cherish the Ladies), Liz Carroll, and his father, Sean Doyle. John’s second solo recording is scheduled for release in 2005 on Compass Records.
