Martha Colby is unlike any Martha Colby out there. She plays the cello and sings. Her music combines set song forms and intense lyrics with layers of improvised cello, creating an unusual and savory cake which you will want to serve as dessert to all of your friends and relatives (or at least the ones who are into that kind of thing). Give it a listen.

Long ago the cello was called the "Big Fiddle" in Scotland, and was part of the old style Celtic folk sound. With this album Liz, the FiddleSticks Cellist, revives the tradition of the cello as front and center in Celtic folk music. Liz wrote almost all of the music for this album, with a couple of tunes by Katie.

Since March of 1997, the quartet comes in the streets of the South Zone of Rio de Janeiro: Leblon, Ipanema, Rodrigo de Freitas Lagoon and Tom Jobim Park.
