Link to Cindy Kallet and Grey Larson on NPR (no way to embed, sadly). It's a 6 minute segment.
Kallet is also known for playing what she calls the fiola: a hybrid fiddle that uses half- or three-quarters-sized viola strings. "It has the string sound of a viola," Kallet says, "and it has the low string of the viola, which I really love. But it's small enough that I can handle it easily."
Many of the pieces on the record possess elements of Scandinavian melody and harmony, yet remain Balkan in rhythm.
"Cindy and I love to play Swedish and Norwegian traditional fiddle tunes in which the fiddlers play in harmony with each other," Larsen says. "It's a beautiful sound, and you can get four-part harmonies going with just two people."
Here's a copy of Cindy's fall newsletter schedule -
Dear friends,
Turn your radios on! When? Saturday afternoon, August 2, National Public Radio's "Weekend All Things Considered!" Grey Larsen and I were interviewed by Host Andrea Seabrook, and the conversation will be one of many things considered, well, this weekend, sometime during the second half of the show. Many stations air the program between 5 and 6 PM, but to check on the exact time for your local station, you can go to:
http://www.npr.org/stations .
If you can't listen to it at the time of your local broadcast, you can waltz your browser over to
http://www.npr.org/templates/rundowns/rundown.php?prgId=2
and locate the the August 2nd program. We were delighted to get the chance to do this, and hope you will tune in and enjoy!
If you'd like to listen to and/or order Cross the Water, please visit http://www.kalletlarsen.com or http://www.cindykallet.com/music. You can also download the whole album or individual tracks from iTunes, CD Baby, and other online download sites.
Kallet, Epstein and Cicone:
In other news, Ellen Epstein, Michael Cicone and I are still celebrating the release of our new CD, HeartWalk. You can listen to the songs and order it online at
http://cindykallet.com/music.
We were recently on one of the Top 40 Lists at Online Festival Radio (http://www.onlinefolkfestival.com/) and we've gotten some great feedback about the album from people all over the country. You can check out a July 4th review in The Vineyard Gazette at: http://www.cindykallet.com/press/1761.
Upcoming Concerts:
Grey and I have a bunch of concerts coming up this fall, in Maine, New York, Massachusetts, Minnesota, Wisonsin and Pennsylvania. We still have some open dates on a couple of those tours: Sunday, November 2 in Minnesota, and Friday and Sunday, December 5 and 7, in the Pennsylvania part of the world. Please let us know if you or anyone you know would like to host a house concert on any of those dates. All it takes is a room large enough for 20-50 people and a bunch of chairs! We'd be happy to fill you in on any other information about hosting a concert like this. Just e-mail either one of us and we can write or talk you through the process. Here's the link to the schedule page so you can find out what's up in the concert department:

Best of summer to you all,
Cindy
