For all you fiddle fans out there, Smithsonian Folkways Recordings presents brand new releases from two masters of the fiddle.

"The Sligo Indians" is a long-awaited solo debut for one of America's finest folk fiddlers. New Yorker Tony DeMarco is an expert of the intricate ornamentation, swinging rhythm, and adventurous melodic improvisation that mark the famed County Sligo fiddle style. Mentored by the late Sligo master fiddler Paddy Reynolds, Tony has for decades been a pillar of the Irish session scene in New York City.

"From Now On" is a Cajun tour-de-force of distilled Michael Doucet, the much admired leader of the Grammy-winning group BeauSoleil. Nineteen tracks of wide-ranging repertoire and pared-down instrumentation of solo fiddle, fiddle-plus-one, and solo accordion showcase Doucet's stylistic mastery, eclectic musical grounding, and creative spirit. Cajun, Creole, blues, Buddhism, gospel, and much more inspire this "solo gumbo" of fun and fine artistry.
