Electrifying contemporary folk duo Rakish fuse virtuosic fiddle and guitar with playful flair.“Explorative and versatile, the duo draws evident inspiration from not just the deep and wide history of Scottish and Irish Celtic composition, but also the precision-focused structures of classical chamber music and a whole array of improvisational styles” [Strings Magazine]. Award winning fiddler Maura Shawn Scanlin teams with acclaimed guitarist Conor Hearn, known for collaborations across the Celtic scene. Recent highlights of their travels together include performances at the Library of Congress, Celtic Colours International Music Festival, Prince Edward Island’s Festival of Small Halls, the Corvallis Celtic Festival, and Official Showcases at Folk Alliance International.
