Suzuki Cady is a popular four- and five-string fiddle player, singer, and percussionist based in Sebastopol, CA. She co-founded Irish bands New Wild Hog and The Pure Drops, and has been involved in various other projects including TresNoctambule.

Suzuki teaches an Irish Music for All Instruments Class in Sebastopol, CA, and composes original tunes.

Suzuki cut her teeth playing at sessions throughout the Bay Area, Ireland, and beyond. She enjoys singing and playing in a variety of folk styles, including Sean-nós (“old style”) Irish songs.

Suzuki’s sense of rhythm is informed 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 hopes to soon incorporate a dance component into her performances.

Jimmy Murphy, singer, guitarist, and mandolinist extraordinaire, has been a cornerstone of the traditional Irish music scene in California for over two decades. Jimmy is a member of New Wild Hog band, among other projects.

Jimmy has appeared in performance venues from the Ford Amphitheater in Los Angeles to temples in Japan. 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 at Tokyo Disney Sea.
