Suzuki Cady, a popular four- and five-string fiddle player, singer, and percussionist based in Sebastopol, has performed in Irish bands New Wild Hog, TresNoctambule, The Pure Drops, and others. With an abiding love of traditional Irish music, she cut her teeth playing at pubs and private sessions throughout the Bay Area, Ireland, and beyond. Suzuki enjoys singing and playing a variety of folk styles, including Sean-nós (“old style”) Irish songs. Her sense of rhythm has been honed by a lifetime of dance training. She has an extensive background in Flamenco, Afro-Brazilian, West African, Congolese, and Roller Skate Dance. She is currently studying Irish Sean-nós percussive dance and will soon incorporate a dance component into her performances. Suzuki also teaches an Irish Music for All Instruments Class, and composes original tunes.

Jimmy Murphy, singer, guitarist, and mandolinist extraordinaire, has been a cornerstone of the traditional Irish music scene in California for over two decades. He has appeared in performance venues from the Ford Amphitheater in Los Angeles to temples in Japan. He has performed on KPFK's "Global Village" with Eric Rigler, on KPFK's "Folkscene" with Mick Moloney, as part of the band Ciúnas, and live on KCSN's "Tied to the Tracks". Jimmy spent two years as a contracted musician in Japan; first as a soloist for Tokyo Disney Sea, then as a member of a band for Universal Studios, Japan, and finally as a key member for a four piece band again at Tokyo Disney Sea. He is the go-to guitarist for most Irish musicians in LA and has performed in many musical configurations. Jimmy also teaches DADGAD guitar lessons.
