Cascade Crossing

Cascade Crossing's music is influenced by many styles, with touches of baroque, celtic, traditional, southern, and original tunes. Expect the unexpected from hard-driving reels to smooth, mysterious jigs. Their style varies from playing with a light touch to incredibly high energy.
