Altan
Altan are Ireland's best and brightest traditional music bands. With a string of wonderful albums under their belt they are catching up with The Chieftains as the most successful as well.

Dolly Parton
There's nothing more I can say about Dolly that isn't already on this unofficial but cool Dolly Fan site. One of the articles on these pages was also featured on this web site.

His amazing band The Crossing features 2 of my own Irish traditional music heroes, Kevin Burke and Paddy Keenan as well as the wonderful Mary Chapin Carpenter

Sam Bush
Another great mandolin player who took to the stage with many of the major acts at Merlefest 2001 and another one of my musical heroes.
