O'Connor Band With Mark O'Connor - Coming Home

Multi Grammy and CMA Award-winning fiddler and composer Mark O'Connor returns to progressive bluegrass and country music with the O'Connor Band and their debut album, 'Coming Home'. O'Connor embarked on a prolific career as an American Classical music composer, hot swing violinist and legendary bluegrass fiddler collaborating with the likes of Alison Krauss, Vince Gill, Earl Scruggs, James Taylor, Wynton Marsalis and Yo-Yo Ma. In the O'Connor Band, Mark is joined by his wife Maggie on violin and harmony vocals, his son Forrest on mandolin and lead vocals, and Forrest's fianc�e, Kate Lee on violin and lead vocals. 'Coming Home' is a perfect balance of contemporary songcraft by Forrest and Kate and intricate instrumentals featuring the band's triple fiddle lineup. The O'Connor Band is rounded out by national flatpick champion Joe Smart on guitar and Geoff Saunders on bass banjo. Co-producer and Grammy-winner Gregg Field says, At the heart of any album is the songwriting. Kate and Forrest have seductively crafted alluring stories and colourful characters in their songs, some biographical and each one sounding like a new standard.
