Scatter the Dust is an exciting new trio in Tucson performing lively traditional Irish dance music.  The group features Sharon Goldwasser on fiddle, Eric Wilson on the uilleann bagpipes, and Frank Daley on guitar, bodhran, and cittern.  The name is inspired by a popular Irish jig titled "Scatter the Mud" but due to a shortage of mud around Tucson, we have no choice but to 'Scatter the Dust'!

 

Special guests featured in the program include singer Jamie O'Brien, drawing on an extensive background of Irish, English and Scottish folk songs, and a bit of fancy footwork from the Maguire Academy of Irish Dance.
