 As fiddle player for the Avett Brothers, Grammy-winning founderof The Duhks, accompanist for Mary Gauthier and as a session player, TaniaElizabeth has spent two decades shaping the arc of modern-day roots music. Sherefocuses the spotlight on her own music with Storm Season, a solo album whosesonic textures are as dynamic and diverse as the songwriter who created them. “I've always backed other people,” she says. “I'm really good at supportingother musicians and holding down the fort so they can shine, but I've rarelyhad anybody else hold that space for me. With Storm Season, I'm investing inmyself for the first time.”  A longtime road warrior, Tania began recording Storm Season during the globalpandemic that brought her touring schedule to a standstill. It was a rare timeof rest for someone who'd been performing since the age of 9. Raised in asingle-parent household, Tania moved from Australia to Canada during her earlychildhood and began busking on the streets of Vancouver Island while still ingrade school.  By 15 years old, Tania had launched her own record label andcompleted her first solo album: Something, a self-financed collection ofinstrumental songs funded by her busking profits. By 16, she had left school,completed a cross-country Canadian tour in partnership with Save The Children(a humanitarian organization dedicating to supporting victims of childtrafficking), and recorded her second album, This Side Up. By the time sheturned 18, she'd already performed her songs in venues across Australia and China.  Looking for new horizons, Tania co-founded The Duhks, a genre-jumping rootsband whose debut album appeared in 2003. The Duhks quickly became one ofCanada's most decorated folk acts, earning a Grammy nomination and a Juno Awardduring Tania's tenure. She left the group's lineup in 2010 and began performingwith the celebrated folksinger Mary Gauthier. By 2013, she'd earned a permanentspot in the Avett Brothers' touring lineup, contributing heavily to Grammy-nominated releases like True Sadness along the way.  On a record stacked with appearances by roots-music luminaries, it's Tania Elizabeth's star that shines the brightest. She writes honestly and poignantly about the bad weather in her life,ultimately finding comfort in her own resilience. Heartbreak, resolve,struggle, and vigilance are common themes, with tracks like “What You Need”unfolding like wake-up-calls for those who have yet to prepare for incomingstorms. Storm Season also soothes, though, balancing itsown urgency with the comforting salve of Tania's voice and the rootsy sweep ofher multi-layered arrangements. This is music that targets the heart as well asthe head. It's the latest chapter in a life story that's still being written.It's the sound of a lifelong musician who's making a return to centerstage,armed with the most compelling music of her career.  Find Tania here:  Website: Taniaelizabeth.net  IG: Telizabethfiddle  FB: Taniaelizabethfiddle  You Tube: Taniaelizabeth.com  Patreon: taniaelizabeth

Dan Frechette and Laurel Thomsen each had independently successful careers in music long before they met. Frechette was a Canadian folk singer who logged thousands of miles a year playing his 1,300-plus original songs and writing hit singles for bands like The Duhks and others. Classically-trained violinist Laurel Thomsen had built a reputation as a go-to player for ensembles ranging from full symphonies to singer-songwriters - as well as teaching lessons all over the world via Skype and hosting the popular Violin Geek podcast from her home in California. Dan first heard Laurel's playing on YouTube by happenstance and the pair started collaborating remotely; Dan would send Laurel songs via e-mail and she would overdub parts and send them back. Dan loved the accompaniment Laurel added to his songs, and Laurel found Dan's songs to be richly diverse musical gems with enough harmonic space for her to contribute. Their phone discussions about music evolved into long discussions about life and their friendship grew. After three albums of remote collaboration, the pair decided to see if their chemistry worked in person and they scheduled a set of tour dates in California, hitting the stage for the first show less than 24 hours after meeting face to face for the very first time. Their connection was palpable and immediately evident to both the pair of performers and their audience, and Frechette and Thomsen have been a duo ever since - logging over 130 concerts in 2013 alone. Perhaps unsurprisingly, their musical partnership blossomed into a romantic one as well, and on the rare occasions when they're not on the road, Frechette and Thomsen both call California's beautiful central coast home.

St. Patrick’s Day today, and while we don’t play a lot of proper Irish/Celtic stuff (we leave that to the professionals at Waxies Dargle), we can celebrate Ireland, the Irish, things that are green, and good luck. We do what we can. We also have some amazing upcoming shows that are well worthy of celebration.

Well it finally arrived. Show number 50 went on on ICRFM on Thursday and is now ready for you to listen to as an archive and podcast here on JigTime. As promised, on today's show I am playing music only from Facebook friends. Mind you when I started to pick music for the show I realized I had far too many musician friends on Facebook and may have to make this a regular show. So sit back and enjoy music from some very cool people I have known and worked with down through the years including, The Duhks, Ciaran Tourish, Maura O'Connell, Alison Brown and many more. And tune in next week for more great music from both sides of the great big sea and beyond. If you have any requests or know of artists I may want to play on the show please send me links to the artist and I will try to fit them in.

JJ GREY was born and raised just outside of Jacksonville, Florida. Grey comes from a long tradition of Southern musical storytellers. Like the best of the great Southern writers, he fills his songs with details that are at once vivid and personal, political and universal. THE DUHKS based in Winnipeg, Manitoba, Canada, the band has been hailed by The New York Times as one of the artists at the forefront of the neo-folk movement. The band's spot-on fusion of traditional bluegrass, folk rock, Afro-Cuban jazz and soul have earned them a Grammy Award nomination in the Best Country Vocal Performance category as well as a Juno award in their native Canada.

Out of the Box Album of the Week with Paul Shugrue

"Fast Paced World" is The Duhks's fourth album but they have a new singer and principal songwriter since being awarded and Juno trophy and a Grammy Nomination.
