DRIVING FIDDLE..EXPLOSIVE PERCUSSION..ELECTRIC SITAR..NEW
DANCE MUSIC FROM THE OLD TRADITIONS
In the increasingly homogeneous world of Celtic music, Fonn
Mor's approach is unique. Fiddle, flute, modal guitars and
unconventional percussion strategies are used to propel original
songs and dance tunes that reflect the influence of Scotland,
Wales, Brittany, Ireland and other aspects of the Celtic Diaspora.
Fonn Mor uses electronics and atmospherics to broaden the impact
of their music.
Their
entertaining and entrancing live shows have helped them
build a strong and ever increasing
following. Fonn Mor has
appeared and performed on the Fox 2 News Morning Show in
Detroit, Michigan and the WGN Morning Show in Chicago, Illinois.
Their
signature CD won two WYCE (West Michigan) Jammie Awards on
2/5/2002 - Best World Music CD & Best CD of the year.
Their follow-up album, Fragment, was recently named Best
World Music
CD of 2003.
