Press Reviews
"Ellery is an excellent fiddler. Her style is very optimistic, full of sensitivity and hardly simple. She walks well the balance...between classical and traditional folk fiddling; likewise Salt & Pepper treads between 'traditional' and 'progressive'" - Gr een Man Review
“The afternoon’s top draw [Cincinnati Celtic Festival] was the tunes...A..treat was Ellery Klein & Thrí Núa. Led by Ms. Klein, the trio shifted between their new...compositions and versions of traditional reels fueled by Olive Brennan’s b a njo, and..it all fit.†-Cincinnati EnquirerSü |
