Hi Seth,

I first saw their video and then caught them live when they were performing 
in CT a few months ago.  The rock band back up and the laser light show are a 
little much for my taste but I thought they were really fun!  They played a 
lot of recognizable folk music although with much non-folky accompaniment, 
can step dance in unison almost (but not while playing fiddle, this is where 
Natalie MacMaster shines) and are very energetic and energizing.
Catch them when you get the chance.
