The Cuckoo's
Nest Folk Club's 20th Anniversary Season at Chaucer's continues
with a first time pairing of two champion musicians Shane Cook (fiddle)
& Steve Baughman (Celtic guitar).
“Shane Cook rates at the top of the short list of the finest
fiddlers in the world today." - Canadian Fiddlers Hall of
Fame. Among his many awards, Shane has won: US Grand National
Fiddle Champion, 3-time Canadian Open National Fiddle Champion, 3-time
Canadian Grand Masters Fiddle Champion, Grand North American
Fiddle Champion.
Steve Baughman is known for his melodic fingerstyle guitar,
drawing upon Celtic, Appalachian, and various ethnic and folks
traditions. Preferring to make tears fall rather than jaws drop,
Steve's dynamic playing ranges from gently expressive to
pyrotechnic. Steve is a pioneer of the unique clawhammer guitar
technique, playing old time fiddle tunes on guitar with an
infectious groove and rhythm. In addition he is also a fine
vocalist, composer, and a dynamite clawhammer banjo player.
"Steve Baughman's artistry and musicality are world-class,
with dynamics, timing and interpretation that always bring out
the emotional essence of the song." - Sing Out! Magazine.

Finvarra's
Wren is one of North America's most exciting Irish quartets.
"Making the kind of music you'd only hear on the west coast
of Ireland", this Detroit, Michigan based band has an
intense dedication to their instruments and to Irish music. As a
family based group, Finvarra's Wren is capable of playing with a
tightness and effortlessness that often evades other ensembles.
Their performances have been described as "a swirl of
musical tradition and performance energy". Finvarra's Wren
has performed at many of North America's top music festivals and
venues including the Austin Texas Celtic Festival, Dayton Ohio
Celtic Festival, Kennedy Center, Washington DC, Goderich Ontario
Celtic Festival, Saline MI Celtic Fest, Baltimore Maryland Irish
Fest, Celtic Fest Mississippi and Ann Arbor's prestigious Ark
where they recently recorded their live album, "Dancing Mad
in the Midnight Air".
The band is led by Detroit Irish music scene stalwarts Jim
Perkins and Cheryl Burns, well known for their sensitive vocals
and the inventive musical weaving of Jim's guitar and Cheryl's
mountain dulcimer and bodhran. Powerhouse brother-sister duo
Asher (button accordion and concertina) and Alison Perkins (vocals,
fiddle and tin whistle) are world renowned for their award
winning playing. Each member of the family has enjoyed successful
careers as musical performers, teachers and recording artists.
