I am so excited to announce the release of my first CD: Hand-me-downs: A daughter’s take on her father’s tunes. Playing music with my father, Bertram Levy, has always been such a special part of my life, and I am just delighted that we have been able to mark that with a recording. 

These tunes, the names of the fiddlers, and the apocryphal stories all floated around my childhood, adolescence, and then, adulthood. In learning tunes from my father, who himself learned from Henry Reed who learned from Quince Dillon, I became a part of this lineage of versions that comprises a person-to-person oral transfer spanning two centuries. 

Recorded in the summer of 2020 in Port Townsend, the album features Old-Time Appalachian fiddle tunes that are close to my heart. I am joined by my father, Bertram Levy, on banjo and concertina and by Chris Cooper on guitar.
