With blazing-to-soulful fiddling, Cape Breton stepdancing, and vocals - backed by piano, guitar, and bodhran this Snohomish show will be an upbeat and fun evening of music,
song, and dance. Accompaniment will be provided by Pettit's parents, Siew Wan Khoo (piano, fiddle), and
Joel Pettit (bodhrán, cajon) and Dublin-born, Seattle-based multi-instrumentalist Colm MacCárthaigh (guitar).
