Originally from rural Utah, Louisa Bennion fell in with the wrong crowd and began playing Irish traditional music during her university years in Ithaca, New York.  She studied concertina with Noel Hill, Micheál O Raghallaigh, Tim Collins and Michael Rooney, and during 6 years spent living in New York City she learned as much as possible from the wealth of Irish musicians who live in and pass through that great crossroads.  She was particularly influenced by Patrick Ourceau and the other regular musicians at the Mona's session, who were in turn drawing on the strong presence in New York of an older generation of musician immigrants from Clare and East Galway.  Louisa currently lives in the Alps of Haute Provence, where she is a member of the traditional Irish trio Bonaparte's Retreat.

Loïc Bléjean is a Breton uilleann piper. Deeply rooted in Irish traditional music, he is also a very versatile musician, having taken part in many different projects over the last twenty five years.
He started with the pipes in 1989 under the tuition of Alain Le Hegarat, and then traveled a lot in Ireland, where he met many great musicians.
He is a former member of influential bands like pop-rock "Glaz" or French Canadian "Gwazigan".
Among the recent musical experiences, he is now working with jazz musicians Gildas & JB Boclé, in the exciting Keltic Tales Quartet. A new album, freshly recorded in NYC and Brittany, will be released in 2014.
He also plays duets with his brother Ronan (accordeon) and New Yorker Louisa Bennion (concertina).
In his village on the North coast of Brittany, he founded Irish Rendez Vous Music Festival with his brother, promoting irish traditional music at its very best.
