Linda Littleton and Karen Hirshon, plus twelve instruments equals one good time when Simple Gifts takes the stage. Drawing on an impressive variety of international ethnic folk styles, this award-winning duo plays everything from lively Irish jigs and down-home American reels to hard-driving Klezmer frailachs and haunting Gypsy melodies. They spice this mix with the distinctive rhythms of Balkan dance music, the lush sounds of Scandinavian twin fiddling, and original compositions written in a traditional style.

They switch with ease among fiddle, mandolin, banjo, guitar, guitjo, recorders, bowed psaltery, hammered dulcimer, baritone fiddle, guitar, and percussion. This duo with their good humor and stunning virtuosity is not to be missed!
