about

This quartet combines, from Finland, Petri Hakala, mandolin and Tapani Varis, bass and overtone flute, and from America, fiddler Ruthie Dornfeld and guitarist John Miller. The program consists primarily of original tunes, but the musical influences are all over the map: Venezuelan waltzes, sambas, choros, Finnish dance tunes, Irish slip jigs, American fiddle reels. The seeds of the repertoire were developed remotely, before the band had ever played together. When we finally played together for the first time, we knew that we were, in fact, a band, and knew we wanted to make music and record together. This CD is the result of that.

John Miller Bellingham, Washington

I made my first recordings at the age of 21, a solo Country Blues album "First Degree Blues" and one with Bluegrass trailblazers Country Cooking. I released four more solo albums before I turned thirty. After a long lay-off, started recording again in the '90s with instrumental duos, duos where I backed singers, solo recording and larger ensembles. You'll be able to find it all here. ... more
