Badass Scottish fiddler Alasdair Fraser and cellist Natalie Haas will play at the Grove Theater in Oak Ridge on Feb. 6. Fraser's played the Laurel Theater before; he's a polished (but not corny) Celtic fiddler, closer to rigorous traditionalists like Aly Bain than, say, Celtic Woman.
Local folk legends Sparky and Rhonda Rucker are opening the show.
The pairing of a fiddle ("wee fiddle") and cello ("big fiddle") is an old Scottish tradition dating back to the 18th century. (That's from Allen McBride, who's booking the show. I didn't know that.)
