West Virginia, Grammy-nominated lutenist and composer Ronn McFarlane is one of the most well known lutenists around. Although he’s a bit of a celebrity in the early music world, he’s also made a name for himself in the folk music scene, performing traditional Celtic music and folk and bluegrass-inspired original music (as heard on 2009’s Grammy-nominated album Indigo Road). Viola da gambist Carolyn Surrick is known as the founder of Celtic/early music group Ensemble Galilei, with whom she’s been ringleader since the early 1990s. Extensive touring with the ensemble across the country, and her many multidisciplinary collaborations with artists from many different mediums, spreads her acclaim far and wide. Together Ronn and Carolyn perform Renaissance and Baroque music, Traditional Celtic and Swedish folk tunes, and original compositions from both of them. Their debut CD, Fermi’s Paradox, was released in 2020, their second was released in 2021, and their 3rd will be released in 2023.
Brogan Woodburn graduated from Berklee College of Music after being inspired to go there by his favorite band. While at Berklee he studied guitar with David Tronzo and composition with Yakov Gubanov, (one of Dmitri Shostakovich’s last students.) He graduated in 2013. After college David played guitar on the international tour of Bring It On: The Musical, which included over 120 in the USA and Tokyo. After living in Portland and The Oregon Coast, his wife and him relocated to Prineville to enjoy more space and time in nature.
