Fiddler Dana Lyn and guitarist Kyle Sanna first met at a traditional Irish music session in New York City ten years ago. They soon discovered a shared interest in classical, world and experimental music, as well as a deep admiration and respect for Irish music. Both are active participants in Brooklyn’s eclectic music scene as arrangers, composers, players and improvisors. Their collaborative effort, The Hare Said a Prayer to the Rainbow and Followed the Fox Down the Hole, is reflective of their wide range of musical influences and experience. Traditional tunes, original compositions and improvised intermezzi are woven together to create a musical narrative that is both childlike and sophisticated, and full of unexpected twists and turns.
