The Moxie Strings is the electrifying combination of fiddler, Diana Ladio, cellist, Alison Lynn and percussionist, Fritz McGirr. With their feel-good melodies and foot-stomping, rock-influenced rhythms, this trio has put a fresh, enticing spin on Celtic music. Though rooted in tradition, The Moxie Strings offer listeners the unique opportunity to experience some of the world s best known instruments and oldest genres through a young, progressive lens. Diana, Alison and Fritz hold Bachelor of Music degrees in music performance and music education, which have given each the technical foundation to explore the limits of his/her instrument, and helped the group build a reputation for musical excellence. Both Diana and Alison use a variety of audio effects pedals. Alison performs on a newly invented, electric instrument and Fritz on a variety of world percussion instruments in celebration of their generation s redefinition of folk music. The Moxie Strings write the majority of their pieces, and also arrange traditional Celtic and American tunes.
