Putting
a fresh spin on traditional Celtic music, the Jordan TW Trio
delivers a dynamic show full of foot-stompin’ fiddle tunes and
classic Irish songs. Fiddler/singer Jordan Tirrell-Wysocki (“Master
Artist” NH State Council On The Arts, “Best Fiddler” NH Magazine) is
joined by fellow New Hampshire natives Matt Jensen on guitar and
Chris Noyes on upright bass.
Their
shows blend the music of Ireland and Scotland with their own
original material, drawing on multiple genres to produce a unique
sound that has been described as a “larger-than-life” and “brisk,
lean and exceedingly lovely.” They have appeared live on NHPR’s “The
Folk Show,” been featured on WMUR’s “New Hampshire Chronicle,” and
perform regularly at listening rooms, community concerts and
festivals around New England. More info at
