Artist description My band, The Front Porch Strings, is also hard to pin down! We play old-time, Celtic, I play jazz on the autoharp and our fiddler loves the Scottish sound. I use my lever harp in weddings and other venues that call for it .

Music Style Eclectic- with the autoharp I tend to lean to melodic pieces. Irish/Scottish jigs, hornpipes and reels go well.

Musical Influences gospel in small country churches; training in piano/organ; musically talented family; a musical tour of Ireland with the band really got me going on that kind of music.

Artist History We have been together for 11 years. four women and one man; fiddle, guitar, hammer dulcimer, lap dulcimer, autoharp with harp, bodhran, catspaws, bowed psaltery, recorder and tongue drum, occasionally.

Group Members Autoharp Clearinghouse, Autoharp Quarterly, Charlotte Observer, Statesville Record, Iredell Citizen, Mecklenburg Gazette and others I can't think of. ( Marc, these are papers that my CD has been in.) If we send you the band's CD I'll fill you in on that later
