A day in the life of a working musician.. the behind-the- scenes drama of presenting Irish fiddle shows, running a band, dealing with the endless characters in the music industry, and keeping the dream alive.

Ireland meets Africa

This weekend I had the pleasure of performing in Washington DC with Liberian singer, Dehconte. I have used African drums on my recordings, but not in a live performance, and this was my chance! The highlight of the weekend was playing a fiddle and talking drum duet with Master Drummer Joseph Soh Ngwa of Cameroon. This drum blends so nicely with the fiddle, and I think it's just a preview of what is to come...stay tuned for more fiddle/drum collaborations! Photos from the show will be posted on my website, www.cadyfinlayson.com
