Brattleboro House Concerts present Cedar Stanistreet, fiddle and Jake Grieco, flute. The two seasoned musicians and performers blend their unique voices on flute and fiddle to create a soulful, crisp sound. Join us for a cozy afternoon concert and homemade baked goods at the break! Cedar and Jake met in 2022 at a local session, and discovered their shared affinity for Irish dance tunes. Cedar grew up listening to Irish music on the radio, and fell in love after hearing bands Dervish and Altan play live, later studying with Martin Hayes at fiddle camp. Jake became enamored with the music in his late teens, learning to play tunes on the flute, and drew much inspiration from summers at the Catskills Irish Arts Week in NY, gleaning from the likes of flute legends Jimmy Noonan, Mike Rafferty and Catherine Mcevoy among others.
