Cara Wildman is a highly sought after bodhrán player at the cutting edge of the instrument's modern development. She credits a large part of her musicality to growing up playing western swing with her father in her hometown of Dorchester, Texas. She has toured with Joanie Madden, Oisin Mac Diarmada's Irish Christmas in America, Máiréad Nesbitt, and more. Cara was the 2021 All-Ireland Fleadhfest champion and has a Masters in Irish Traditional Music Performance from the University of Limerick in Ireland.
Cara and Jake will lead two workshops at 1:00 PM. For Cara’s workshop, go to Irish Heritage Society of Milford, (131 Bridgeport Ave)
The Session and Workshop are brought to you by Sláinte Milford and P.V. O’Donnell Branch CCE.
