John Weed (fiddle) and Stuart Mason (guitar, bouzouki, mandola, banjo) have completed their first recording as a duo, aside from their two instructional CDs. The music on Across the Pond ranges from early American ballads and songs newly composed by their peers, to beautiful melodies with Celtic and French roots. From the Irish jigs that open the record to the joyful reels that signal the end, they remain true to their love of American old timey music and Irish trad while expanding the repertoire to include traditional and new music from all eras and all regions.
