Search - Sarah Bauhan :: Untamed Grasses

Sarah Bauhan began playing the tin whistle at twelve years old, and started performing for the public two years later in Dudley Laufman's Canterbury Country Dance Orchestra. She was heavily influenced by the revival of Celtic music during the '70s and '80s. Through the years, Bauhan has performed at festivals, concerts, and dances around the country. She has also taught whistle and flute to both adults and children at dance camps, in schools, and in workshops. Her performance options range from a simple duo with a guitarist to a four-piece band including fiddle, guitar, bass, and piano. "A collection of both traditional and original instrumental material, and includes reels and ballads that display at every turn the effortless grace and buttery harmony of Bauhan's flute. Accompanied mainly by a spare, spry acoustic guitar, Bauhan is also joined memorably by pipes on the epic `Renn's March/Leaving Port Askaig.' As her flute sketches the insistent melody over strums of plaintive guitar, the pipes rise in the background until the triumphant breaking point where the piper fleshes out Bauhan's playing with grace and grandeur." -- All Music Guide
