Novotny and the father-son duo will perform Celtic fiddle tunes, old-time mountain music and American songs.

John Weed, fiddler for Molly’s Revenge and New World String Project, is a classically trained violinist.

He has worked in a variety of fiddle styles, but his affinity for folk traditions led to an emphasis in Irish, Scottish, Swedish and Old-Time fiddle.

He has bachelor’s degree in music from California State University in Chico. He’s also a private and group instructor.

He is currently on faculty at Palenke Arts in Seaside, Calif., at the Community Music School of Santa Cruz, and with Youth Music Monterey.

Tyler Weed was raised in a musical family and began playing guitar, which led to backing his father on fiddle.

The influence of Bay Area mandolin player Marla Fibish led Tyler to traditional Irish tunes on mandolin, and he also has moved into the world of tenor banjo.

Novotny, a Portland, Ore.-based singer and Irish guitarist, was born in South Dakota.

He studied classical guitar in Bowling Green, Ky., where he also was influenced by country, folk and bluegrass before earning a bachelor’s degree in music from the University of Portland in Portland, Ore.

Novotny has been splitting his time between Portland and Nashville, Tenn.
