Collaborations 

Sap Line

With their sound rooted in the music of New England & Maritime Canada, Scotland, Ireland, and Appalachia, Sap Line blends these connected traditions to explore a rich palette of harmonic possibilities.  The trio adds a fresh and youthful flavor to their arrangements of energetic jigs and reels, lyrical 3-part harmony singing, and foot-stomping Old Time favorites.  Together, Sap Line taps into the legacy of musicians who have mentored and inspired them, sharing the joy of traditional music in dynamic, high-spirited performances.

Fiona & Emmett

Siblings who have been sharing a stage for over a decade, Fiona and Emmett Stowell are a well-regarded presence in the Vermont folk scene. These young musicians whose instrumental skill and close family harmonies have earned them a reputation well beyond their years. Their repertoire roams freely across the trad map - New England, Cape Breton, Québécois; but Appalachian Old Time sits closest to their hearts, and it shows in the unadorned, lived-in warmth of their playing and singing. 

Fiona is a fiddler, singer, and step dancer; Emmett is a multi-instrumentalist - piano, banjo, guitar, and voice. Together they were core members of the Young Tradition Vermont Touring Group for many years, and both were mentored by the late, legendary Pete Sutherland, whose spirit they carry into every performance. They have represented Vermont at the Smithsonian Folklife Festival in Washington, D.C., and are beloved fixtures at contradances and festivals across the region.
