Об исполнителе:
Helicon are a folk and traditional music group made up of Ken Kolodner (hammered dulcimer, fiddle), Robin Bullock (piano, guitar, cittern, mandolin), and Chris Norman (wooden flutes, tin whistle, small pipes, piano). Helicon toured in North American and Europe for many years before splitting in 1998 to pursue solo careers. Despite their parting, the group still performs in an annual concert at Goucher College in Baltimore. The trio has Baltimore roots: Kolodner was born and still resides in Baltimore, Norman lived in Baltimore during his childhood, but has since returned to his native Nova Scotia; and Bullock (who now lives in North Carolina) is originally from the DC area. Helicon started life combining the backgrounds of three related but distinctively different traditions of music (Bluegrass, Irish and old-time). Helicon eventually became part of the world music scene but continued to perform those three genres.
