About Slipjig

Our “musical laboratory” started on the porch with reading sessions and jam sessions on Irish and American fiddle tunes. From those first moments, it became clear that we wanted to bring new feelings and new sounds to old tunes. Gradually we began adding pop, rock, and jazz tunes into the mix—always looking for an expression that would be our own. In recent years, we’ve added original tunes into the mix. We consider our work to be “genre-busting,” and now we freely include the use of pedals and effects along with our natural, acoustic-sounding instruments.

We put together shows to take the listener across a varied and captivating sonic and emotional landscape. Our audiences include people of all ages. We may see children and/or retired couples dancing. This makes us happy because we work to make our music relate to anyone, anytime.

"I also wanted to give a shout out to April’s concert with Slipjig – they were unbelievable! The crowd LOVED the concert and how they interacted with the audience. So much fun and their musical talent was amazing…folks stopping by my office all week to tell me how wonderful that concert was and when am I bringing them back 😊."
