Folk Arts Quartet – Boston ChamberGrass Musicians

I had a quick session last night with the Boston-based Folk Arts Quartet (Ivonne Hernandez, Liz Davis Maxfield, Jenna Moynihan, and Lea Kirstein). They arrived in Victoria from a tour in Saskatchewan, where Ivonne (in the purple tights) broke her foot dancing (we like to joke that it was in the mosh pit at the folk festival). Yesterday was her first day with a removable cast, so hiking around taking promo photos with crutches and a fiddle was a bit of an ordeal. Luckily we were speedy enough to catch some of the beautiful golden evening light and hit up one more location before the sun went down. The FAQ are performing a few times before heading back to Boston so check out their schedule to find out the details or have a listen to them here!

Ivonne Hernandez – Grand Master Fiddling Champion

My wonderful pal/fabulous fiddler Ivonne Hernandez was back in town for a bit in between graduating from Berklee College of Music and heading out on the road. We spent a whole day gabbing at the new Caffe Fantastico location at Dockside Green a few days ago. On the drive back to my place, I directed us to a slight detour so I could take a few photos of her before we parted ways. There’s one more from this series over at Photographer Network!

Folk Arts Quartet – Boston Musicians

I’m slowly but surely editing my way through the masses of work to be done. Up today, I’m tackling the edits of the Folk Arts Quartet, made up of amazing musicians Ivonne Hernandez, Hannah Read, Julie Metcalf, and Emma Beaton. My pal Ivonne Hernandez plays fiddle in this group and I stayed with her during my recent visit to Boston. The Folk Arts Quartet are four Berklee College of Music students that have come together to create a pretty unique and creative sound….often described as ‘Chambergrass’. They are extremely talented and I haven’t stopped playing their album since my return. Check out a video of the FAQ on YouTube to have a listen.

More to come later in the week…from top to bottom, Hannah, Ivonne, Julie and Emma.
