News: The Forget-Me-Nots are working
on a new CD that will feature many original
tunes composed and arranged by the girls!
The tunes are Celtic influenced and seem as
old as the tradition itself, yet are
completely new compositions as full of life,
freshness, and energy as these young
musicians themselves.
We can't wait for you to hear it! If you
send us an
e-mail
we'll let you know as soon as the CD is
ready. |

The
Forget-Me-Nots bring fresh energy to the ageless tradition
of Celtic music. The band originated in 2002 but its roots
go back to 1999, when the girls started playing violin at
the tender ages of 2, 3 and 4 years old. The players are
Willa Finck, Maura Shawn Scanlin, and Ledah Finck, with David Finck on backup guitar. The
girls, classically trained through the Suzuki method, also
showed an early interest in playing old-time and Celtic
fiddle music. This interest blossomed in the fertile grounds
of the North Carolina High Country, an area steeped in
Appalachian musical traditions.
The Forget-Me-Nots have thrilled listeners at festivals,
concerts, house parties, weddings, and fund-raisers
throughout North Carolina and Tennessee. Their music ranges
from energetic reels and soulful airs to great works from
the classical repertoire.
