As you wander "The Trail" you will find slow airs, reels, jigs, and contemporary tunes played with sensitivity, energy and finesse on acoustic instruments including flute, fiddle, harp and hammered dulcimer.
Bio / Background
Black Bear Crossing began with the friendship of two women who met over 20 years ago while participating in a musical theatre production. A common interest in the hammered dulcimer and other folk instruments led to weekend jams, and the invitation to other musician friends to join them. Eventually what began as a living room gathering expanded to performances in the community and beyond. Since the members traveled back roads in order to hold a practice session they selected a name which reflects a common thread-the occasional sighting of a Pennsylvania black bear enroute to the rehearsal site.
A wide variety of instrumentation includes flute, whistle, fiddle, Celtic harp, hammered dulcimer, keyboard and bass. The repertoire, as reflected in their new CD "The Trail" crosses many paths and lands-Ireland, Scotland, Klezmer, Old Timey American, and contemporary tunes. This CD includes the guest artistry of Melissa Becker on fiddle.
