Unmatched Pair by Hannah O'Brien & Grant Flick
Hannah O’Brien & Grant Flick – two fiddlers combining their diverse transatlantic musical backgrounds - join together for their second studio album “Unmatched Pair.” This project draws from their respective musical upbringings, weaving Irish, Classical and American folk idioms together to tell the story of people, places, experiences, and events. The tunes on this album, 10 of which are original, showcase their love for arranging and composing as they continue to find the meeting point between their musical worlds.
Thank you to all involved in this project with special thanks to Jacob Belser, The O’Briens, The Flicks, Jacob Warren, The Hightowers, Riccardo Capraro, Earl Holzman, Andreas Krause, Honeywell Arts Academy, and all who have inspired and shaped the tunes on this record!
Supported in part by the Iguana Music Fund Grant, awarded by Club Passim.
