Bio / Background
FireWeed is an energetic and lively traditional Celtic band from Northern Michigan. Band members include Kathy Case (Hammered Dulcimer, Irish Whistle); Ken Case (guitar, Irish Tenor Banjo, Irish Bouzouki); Regina Edgar (Fiddle); John Harrison (Bodhran, Congas); and Mary Harrison (Autoharp). They perform at festivals, concerts, banquets, churches, art shows, weddings and other special events. They also share their music through their recordings. They have recorded three CD's and are currently working on a fourth.
Their style has been described as "driving" and "with a distinctive Irish pulse." The group is described as "tight" in their sound as they blend a number of traditional acoustic instruments. They play tunes with a range of tempos so that their recordings are never boring or repetitive. Jigs and reels are played at a blistering pace. Slower tunes lure the listener into a place of calm peace.
Their name "FireWeed" comes from a flower in northern Michigan that grows in the wild.
