Traditional Folk Fiddle Girls
Ellie Long
Armstrong Hall Courtyard/Lobby
3:45PM

This project explores old traditional American and Irish folk tunes with an all-girl band (and possibly dancers). Old traditional folk music is not as popular today, but has a lot to offer. It has many elements of different styles, while presenting a comforting performance. The project will examine the history, stories and lessons included with every piece. It is also important for there to be female representation in music.
