Their debut album, At Long Last (2018), explores heartache, wonder, and joy, expressed through the traditional music they love. Their latest release is Good People All (2025), a Christmas folk album.
Liz Faiella’s study of Irish fiddling, training in classical violin, and love of social dancing have shaped her musical approach. Liz is chair of the Folk Department at the Concord Community Music School in Concord, NH, where she teaches fiddle students and organizes the Music School’s Fall Fiddle Festival. She also is active as a YouTube creator, sharing fiddle tunes, tutorials, and techniques far and wide.
Dan Faiella is a guitarist specializing in traditional Celtic music. Trained as an accompanist through years of playing for New England contradances and for Irish fiddlers, he has performed at venues and festivals around the country with numerous traditional music groups. In his solo playing, Dan’s fingerstyle arrangements of traditional songs and tunes draw extensively on techniques and ornamentation from traditional idioms beyond those directly related to the guitar, such as Celtic harp-playing, sean-nós singing, and uilleann piping. Over many years of playing solo and collaboratively, he has developed an ability to adapt and synthesize these sounds into the context of the unique arrangement capabilities of the guitar. Dan is also a landscape painter, whose work can be found in private collections around the United States.
