Greenwood Tree Duo performs music from Ireland, Scotland, England, Canada, and Appalachia. Repertoire also includes American folk songs, traditional Christmas carols, plus an occasional classical, Scandinavian, or blues tune.
Greenwood Tree has been charming audiences since 1985, with its lively and lyrical renditions of traditional music from Ireland, Scotland, England, Canada, and Appalachia. Their repertoire also includes American folk songs, traditional Christmas carols, plus an occasional classical, Scandinavian, or blues tune. The melodious duo of Stu Janis (hammered dulcimer and bowed psaltery) and Bill Cagley (guitar, mandolin, bodhran, and vocals) plays throughout Minnesota and the upper Midwest at festivals, weddings, parties, ceilis, contra-dances, and more. In 1995 and 1996 Greenwood Tree was nominated for Minnesota Music Awards.
Greenwood Tree provides an entertaining mix of instrumental Irish dance tunes, pretty waltzes, traditional or contemporary American folk songs, and even some blues every now and then.
Bill Cagley is a full-time musician who bought his first guitar the day he graduated from high school. Bill learned music in Waterloo and Iowa City, Iowa, by listening to recordings and playing with such masters as Al Murphy and Bob Black. He became a full-time musician in 1987.
Stu Janis began playing hammered dulcimer in 1983 in Wilmington, North Carolina, having grown up with piano and flute in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania. While mostly self-taught on the dulcimer, he has benefited from friends, workshops, and other musicians. He has a "day" job as a statistician at 3M.
