The band is celebrating the release of its new CD “Auld Lang Syne.”
Bunting, past chair of Music Education at Crane School of Music, has long been recognized for his wonderful vocal renditions of Scottish airs and ballads.
Complimenting this great vocal tradition, he excels instrumentally on banjo, lap dulcimer, concertina and flute. His curriculum work featuring traditional instrumentation in general music classes has delighted students throughout the North East.
Kirk is rapidly being acknowledged as one of the finest fiddlers in the traditional music circuit. With his trademark golden voice and instrumental virtuosity, his talents have long been recognized throughout the country.
He has been featured on countless recordings and has released several recordings of his own music.
Duggan, recipient of the National Hammered Dulcimer Championship, is rapidly being acknowledged as one of the finest dulcimer players and composers in the country.
He has recorded six CDs of original compositions as well as three CDs of Christmas Music and a CD of original family songs titled “The Pieces of Our Life.”
His dulcimer work can also be heard on Paul Simon’s CD, Your the One, released in 2001.
For more than 30 years the trio has created an exciting blend of original and traditional instrumental and vocal pieces. The Susquehanna String Band has released three recordings, North Country and The Cloths of
Heaven and a children’s album titled Singing All The Way Home.
