The band will be Fairchild and Becherer
Maria Fairchild (banjo) and Adam Becherer (fiddle) met at the Eastern Long Island Old Time Jam, and they also participate in the Grafton Street Open Irish Sessions.
Maria has been playing for LITMA contradances since the early days at the Neighborhood House in Setauket. In Portland, Oregon, she was in Cat’s Cradle with Sue Songer, author of The Portland Collection, the “bible” of contradance tunes. She also plays with Dance All Night and Fiddlers Green and has led banjo workshops for the Long Island Bluegrass Festival and the New England NOMAD Folk Festival.
Adam has been playing old time and Irish fiddle on and off for the past 30 years. He was exposed to bluegrass and old-time music at an early age while watching his father’s band compete at bluegrass festivals at South Street Seaport in New York City in the 1970’s. He currently plays with Buddy Merriam and Back Roads. His fiddle style has been influenced by Martin Hayes, Kevin Burke, Bruce Molsky, and others
