Ross & MacKenzie

The musical chemistry of Ross and Laura MacKenzie is a blend of warmth, humor and understanding, gained through years of performing together.

They specialize in concerts of Scottish music, with an Irish element as well - their vocal harmonies on the songs of Robert Burns are a special treat.

Their family programs include Irish, Scottish and English song games and dances, and a multitude of musical instruments.

Irish step dancers add extra dazzle to a Ross & MacKenzie performance.

The Sutter Brothers

The Sutter Brothers, Ross and Barton, have performed together ever since they were growing up as a couple of preacher's kids. Ross is the musician, Bart is the poet.

They've both built reputations on their own (Bart recently served as Poet Laureate of Duluth), but when they perform as a pair, their work has the kind of counterpoint and easy intimacy unique to sibling acts.  Recent performances include the Lake Superior Big Top Chautauqua,  "Marshall Festival 5: Celebrating Writing in Minnesota", and the 2006 National Poetry Forum in Pittsburgh.

Northern Gael

When the extraordinary fiddler Tom Schaefer joins forces with Ross and Laura, they become Northern Gael, a powerful blast of traditional music.
