Description
FireWeed is a traditional Celtic band from Northern Michigan. Band members include Kathy Case (Hammered Dulcimer, Irish Whistle); Ken Case (guitar, Irish Tenor Banjo, Irish Bouzouki); Regina Edgar (Fiddle); John Harrison (Bodhran, Congas); and Mary Harrison (Autoharp). They perform at festivals, concerts, banquets, churches, art shows, weddings and other special events. They also share their music through their recordings. They have recorded three CD's and are currently working on a fourth.
Their style has been described as "driving" and "with a distinctive Irish pulse." The group is described as "tight" in their sound as they blend a number of traditional acoustic instruments.
Their name "FireWeed" comes from a flower in northern Michigan that grows in the wild. It is one of the first plants to grow back after the devastation of a forest fire. It survives because of its deep root. This group sees this as a symbol of their music. The tunes they perform have a deep root in tradition that has allowed them to survive and thrive through generations.
